Absolutely, I know its not like- a trace/copy paste situation just wish there was more elements changed to make it more their own 😔

As many have said, this should have been private. Nobody deserves a mob on either side, and like many have also said, i see nothing on the nose here. Nobody owns a color scheme and nobody owns the bat girl concept.

Be so fr, this is just needless drama that could have been handled in DMs. Imagine if I bitched about every green hair character, this is a basic design get over yourself

Did you check with them before posting this? It’s possible they drew inspiration from your work—or even from something similar. Posts like this can unintentionally harm the artist in question. A good example of how designs often end up looking alike is the Kirito meme from Sword Art Online. this might simply be a case of coincidence or inspiration. It could have been cleared up easily if you had just asked first.

You’re delusional

Not the pity farming.... They aren't that similar and I agree with the others, you should delete this 🫣

you should’ve talked with them first before posting

Pardon me, i dont see any similarities. The Call Out Tweet was not necessary.

This should have been handled privately and if you think you don’t own the concept then why make a callout post instead idk talking it out first. I would delete this and apologize instead of causing unnecessary drama

Dude atp make a response :| your community is encouraging bullying and sending extremely rude things to the op,,, the characters have A SIMILARITY but it is obvious your character was not a reference or stolen from and they worked with you to change things…? Apologize??

gonna be honest you have a generic red and black alt design generic red and black alt characters will match

this behaviour needs to stop, as a character designer I can confidently say they look nothing alike aside from the red theme and broken horn. mean girl behaviour is ruining the space, why don't you just make friends with people with similar designs?

Im gonna be honest here fam - but aside from the hair and color palette it’s not that similar to be made into a callout post. Broken horn, torn swings - yeah sure but like - the way they look ain’t that close to yours plus it’s pretty generic and I know a ton of people with those features. This should have been dealt with in DMs if anything and not been made into a public posts. Unintentional or not - it starts a witch hunt for the artist and already have.

This should have been handled privately. You have people leaving the most nasty comments on that artists posts.. and genuinely? Besides the hair (barely) and the color palette, they're two completely different designs. And news flash, you, nor anyone else, owns a hair style.

Going to be honest as an artist and character designer, these look very different 😭

On... the nose?? This is abit of a stretch.. I'm going to be so real. Especially with pinterest being such a popular reference material for outfits, aesthetic and overall character design. I'm gonna keep it a buck, with both designs I've seen many similarities to other designs. Even with it being "similar" they did enough different for it not to require a call-out post. This is absurd.

Utainsy is like famous for making mismatched leggings, adding stuff like ribbons to the sleeves etc... The horn shape is so different, the earrings aren't even the same type, neither are the way the wings are torn The color palette is like the most basic red x black combo there is. How does this warrant a callout post? If you're so concerned, message the artist instead of farming pity points

this is something that should’ve been handled privately. be better

Doing this publicly on your end feels disingenuous af ngl You are allowed to feel whatever way you want, but this kind of behavior stifles the creative space and only pushes the idea that people OWN a style. They don't. Every "original" idea you have ever had is an amalgamation of EVERYTHING else that had existed before it

you still have time to delete this 🥀

Ngl, instead of posting this online, why not resolve it privately? I'm so tired of seeing posts like this when no one copied anyone. Sorry but this idea isn't that "crazy" or uncommon. Solve things privately instead of drama posting online thanks

Honestly, you’re reaching a bit. There is the color palette and hairstyle similarity but that’s it. You definitely should have handled this one privately dear.

I believe we should start to learn how to keep things private... if you really wanted to share this, do so with your friends. Privately.

you should have messaged the artist. the design is only similar in theme and colorset, which are both incredibly common. frankly, both your model and the adopt look like they tumbled out of a pinterest page if you searched red black demon egirl clothes. It's a cute look, but you don't own the aesthetic, you only own your *exact* model.

Can we just keep it to dms? Things like this may be coincidental and I understand feeling upset but artists deserve to be dmed first about concerns

I think ur design could have been used for inspiration maybe, it’s possible it’s on Pinterest somewhere but to say it’s on the nose is a reach tbh. Even if I knew of you before, I wouldn’t have made the connection bc they are very different.

What’s is this lol they are not the same, they’re barely similar

I gotta have to say only a few things could be considered similar apart from them everything looks totally different due to differences in artistic choice. The artist has clearly just made a generic red demon design accustomed to her artstyle so i dont think there's something wrong with this 😅

I think that ppl like you just need to leave the vtuber scene. Ppl need to understand that currently there are hundreds of thousands of vtubers in existence, and finding at least one vtuber who will be similar to you is not some crazy ass unbelievable concept. It’s very obvious that this design wasn’t intentionally copied, it just happens that they’re similar, and forcing this artist to change something just because you don’t like it is obnoxious, toxic, and childlike. You can spend a few minutes searching for a black and red demon vtuber, and you will find a bunch of others who look just like your character. 😒

Is the similarities in the room with us??

> Having a basic demon girl design concept > Someone else on the planet is also a basic demon girl > Oh no, I gotta make a callout post, how can there be two basic demon girls at the same time??? Fucking main character mental illness syndrome

It's about as on the nose as any modern design. Anime girl, cute hair style, primary color. Right hand dominant people always affix detail to the right side, broken horns, missing eyes, shit like that. If you really had an issue with this it coulda been a DM.

This such a non issue???? The character not even the same design and ofc utainsy do better THAN YOU so can you shut the fuck off???

I'm so sorry but these look nothing alike... There are way more differences than similarities. The outfits are completely different, the hair is different colour and style, different skin, different shoes... Broken horn + torn wings are so common, you can't claim it's copying

This should have been dealt with privately. There is a reason people have similar styles or the same clothes/hair in real life and that is because people draw inspiration from similar sources, there is always a possibility someone will look like you on accident
