Hey. So like, can you do me a solid and just stop existing? Thank you. :)

Vague, but here’s my second death threat.
unrelated to callouts: something about lions with too much shine on their nose makes me.... super uncomfortable? for some reason? anyone else?

"Amongst yourselves" might be referring to that discord server that everyone knows exists lol

I think everyone is jumping the gun a bit too quickly in a lot of these situations tbh. "Callout Culture" is incredibly toxic, especially in this fandom these days. Sometimes a coincidence is a coincidence, and they happen. I just think there are better ways for people to conduct themselves on both sides. Sure its wrong to confront someone without all the facts, especially in the open, but it's also wrong for people to behave like rabid dogs and send death threats. Hopefully this can resolved.

Aye. Cross fingers that it can be.
To be honest I think people have their knickers in a twist because you called out a popular artist. If it was a nobody, then they wouldn't have bothered, or even cared. But because it was their senpai...

I think you’re on to something. Meanwhile, still hoping the other party will calmly and maturely discuss with me in private about the situation so we can part ways on a good note about this. Haven’t received a reply yet after I last asked them a question. Hoping they’ll reply soon.
Just gunna plod on in with a completely unrelated to drama post-Does anyone know of any artists who do some real good designs? Looking to get a lion character done up but I cant seem to find anyone to commission for a custom

NostalgicChills has commissions open up and she makes good designs. Demi-dee is another one you can look into. Also Belka100(hope I got that username right) I believe does designs.
Well, I'm glad you were able to figure out what the point of this kid's gibberish is, because I sure as hell can't. My gods, I'm not perfect and I know not everyone speaks English but I'm sure punctuation is a thing in most languages. Their train of thought has just derailed into a fiery heap. Not sure what anything in their last two shit fits had to do with tracing from and apparently impersonating(?) an artist. But I guess that's art thief mentality, spew random nonsense and see what sticks.

Their story bounces around from their cousin did it, to they only wanna do art their way. I’m waiting for them to pin the blame on their cat next.
You cannot copy a pose right? So if they didn't trace...

You can’t copyright certain poses(Like sitting or mid-stride which is common in TLK OC pics unless they have directly traced over the original). However, if a pose is recognizable such as Dukacia’s sleeping Vitani pose or her other vitani pic which gets traced and copied a lot, shit ain’t right.
In order for Rhoadie to get in a legal copyright, the issue lies in the material. A fancharacter can be copyrighted, I grew up watching SONIC FAN CHARACTERS copyrighted and CHRIS CHAN himself even has a 150$ copyright over SONICHU and e can all see how well him taking people to court has gone for him, he actually can't do shit. Rhoadie's past incarnations are easy for a lawyer to see as a Scar with Socks and that would mean she'd likely only have copyright over RECENT Rhoadie which Yatana isn't.

Makes sense actually (My inbox has been flooded with similar asks and I’m only answering one, sorry guys). I keep going back to Sushi Dogs being trademarked/copyrighted because they were original enough to be granted it. I did some research on copyrighting my own creation I call Cryptic(A young adult novel I’m writing that involves fighting cryptids and a teen magical girl). But you wind up paying through the nose for your own creations, and they have to be original, not based on something someone else has created. Granted I think some minor inspirations can be overlooked.
(same anon about copyright) To clarify she can 100% call out someone for stealing her Rhoadie lions designs but she cant sit there trying to sue people for it because no lawyers would be dumb enough to take up a case over a fan character because they'd have to get Disney involved and.... Yeah.
