COPYRIGHTS

EDIT: Holy maceroni, people-- slow down! LOL-- I can't thank all of these rapid succession favorites!
I didn't think this would be so popular, haha~

-------------------------------------------------------------------

May the ranting begin~!

I am so TIRED of this:
“She’s a cool OC, but her outfit is like my OC’s.”
“Her outfit is just like my OC’s!! D:”
“Her hair is like my OC’s, but she’s alright.”
“She looks like my OC ”



So. Flippin’. Tired of it.

Okay, so maybe I shouldn’t be THIS bothered by it, but I’ve been seeing it happen over and over again. It’s really becoming a pet peeve for me—especially since it’s been reoccurring. No, I’m not going to mention usernames, that’s fairly rude and opens them up for trolls. That would just be spiteful xP

It urks me the most, however, when someone makes a new OC and is hoping for some critique because it’s their first time… and they get one of the above quotes instead.

Way to give them a confidence booster

People. Seriously. Just because the outfit of another OC looks SOMEHOW in SOMEWAY similar to yours, does NOT mean they took it from you.

Stop. Being. Paranoid.

Literally, I have seen people comment on any other DGM OC going, “Oh, that top looks like my OC’s design”; or “Oh, those shorts are like my OC’s!”.

Shorts are shorts. There aren’t exactly a gazillion types of shorts to choose from. It’s only natural for them to look similar to other shorts. Same with tops. There's only so much you can do with customizing a DGM uniform and keep it within the ability to be fought in.

Heck, look at my OC, Kira. She wears shorts. I can name three other DGM OC’s that wear shorts and were created after her.

Do you see me going to their OC art and saying that crap?

NO. Because, believe it or not, that person had a similar idea without knowing of Kira beforehand. They didn’t need to look at Kira and go “Oh, I like her shorts—I’ll copy them~~!!1!”. Heck, even if they did, I wouldn’t be too bothered with it.

They are shorts. No big deal.

Now if the entire outfit looks EXACTLY and I mean EXACTLY the same, then maybe there's a problem-- but that's not what's the problem here xP

So, all in all, yes, this is a rant.

I’m not saying this to everyone, ‘kay? An innocent “What d’ya know, she kinda looks like my OC xD Nice job though, and I really love the pose you made and the expression you used!”

That’s not shoving copyright or “you stolez from meee!1!!” in their face. That’s just joking around and giving a critique (GOD FORBID!) to that person's DGM OC.

And I can understand that. Just please, please don’t start that “She looks like my OC! Her outfit is just like mine!” stuff… please? It really makes me want to comment and go lawyer mode, and I don’t like doing that, ‘cause I don’t like to sound rude :/ Even though I guess this could sound rude as well >.>”

Okay, well, I’ll end the rant here~

Enough ranting, Wolfy! Get back to work on those linearts you have to color! xP
