I made him from scratch and it took me three friggin' tries to get him right.

It's happened twice already.

Yes I can tell. And it's not hard to copy+paste the tracing into Photoshop and flip the layers a few times to see most of the pixels are in the exact same spot.

If you want to trace something, trace the friggin' official Digimon icons that have existed for like a decade and barely even have an owner anymore.

Paws off mine.

Christ.


No point confronting I guess. So here's my passive-aggressive compilation that I'll update as I find more. Yep. I have a really short temper so it's never a good idea to pull these things on me ^o^/

See us half-assed artists have it made, no-one wants to steal ours. Except for most of the people that steal icons are half-assed, sorry to hear that though especially since Fangmon's creative.

I get what ya mean, I had a terriermon icon done awhile back and I found someone who turned it into a Lopmon one - I didn't mind...but the person commissioned it off someone claiming it was completely their own work and such when my icon was a free use. I just let it go because I couldn't be stuffed...but the person still comments negatively on some of my works and such...does that make sense!?

Anyway some people are new to the world of pixels and may use one as a base - but what the other people have done have shown they have pixel potential yet just too lazy to showcase something from scratch.

You're right to rant all you want.

That's...really stupid! Especially the bit with them still dogging you. Why would they do that? D: Like.. what kinds of things do they say?

It hasn't happened since like a month ago, but everytime I posted a journal it'd be things like, "That's not really funny" "I've had a better time" or when it came to a piece of art it'd be like "The finger looks too big" without even a compliment to start it off - there's constructive criticism, but I don't feel that's like one.

This is why I don't post my Digimon icons, they ALWAYS get traced, it's inevitable. D:

I don't know if it's just me but I can't really see a resemblance with the orange cat thing one. (Maybe I'm looking at the wrong spots?)

But yeah, confront them and if they don't apoligize/change, then I'd report them to the staff for..infringement?
