What. Moss is just venting, you don't have to read this.
To date, I have been accused of some sort of concept theft three times on this site.
Three times.
Once, for Harefoot, for his rabbit features that gave him some similarity to another lapine-deer.
Once, for Raven King, because he happened to be a giant crow, something there are plenty of in the Forest, as it's an exploitable glitch in the game.
And now.
Now, for 3, because he happens to be one of (insert number here) owl or barn owl-inspired deer.
And yet,
I see no one getting in the faces of every demon stag, smaller-than-average-average doe, forest spirit, wolf/werewolf, canon, shape-shifter, etc. because they aren't the first or only of their kind.
Blatant theft is something I can understand getting steamed over.
But something like an overused concept or concept that isn't particularly original is simply ridiculous.
I'm tired of people smearing mud over my name.
I know I'm not that original.
But I don't intentionally STEAL anything. That's low, petty, and I look down upon it, myself.
I don't know. It's just tiresome. This is a rant.
I'm not going anywhere, I'm just venting.
Why are you even still reading this lol. &hearts
o___o
I hate when people do that
Because your characters are so unique when you draw them out and display them and they are always cutecutecute.
I'm useless.
Oh, pfft. You're one of the

Don't mind the critics.
Shine on, you crazy diamond.
I don't strive to be the best, but instead I strive to do my best, and always give it my all every time.

Pfff, ignore them. I mean,
I mean, seriously. The Raven/Crow thing? I have seen so many of them. I have a Hooded Crow shifter who is my Atuutluk. I made that a part of her a year or so ago before I even joined the community. And I even met another Hooded Crow since I joined the community! lol Kat' and I were surprised and excited that we found another. Just not everyday people use Hooded Crows. But we did not go accusing each other of stealing the other's idea.
I think people are just /too/ ready to point fingers that they do not take a moment to consider that it maybe a coincidence.
But seriously. If people are accusing you about stealing the crow/raven thing then they obviously do not have the sense to know what is a common concept and what is actual theft.
Edit:
Oh, and mixing two animals into one (in this case with a deer) is a VERY common concept in all art communities. More then one of a common beloved animal (bird of some sort, rabbit, canine, feline) is to be expected. If people do not know this then they need to get out in the internet more.

Ah, you guys.. &hearts Thank
/shameless ego boost
PrairieWolf: Ohay<3 I have a Pied Crow, myself, but I never completed the concept/event. It was going to be a community interaction thing, but I never followed through because I'm lazy and I lost interest.
This is him. &hearts I may be inspired to start on him again, sometime, I dunno. ^^
(and if your crow is a forest character, as well, RK would love to hang with it. :3)

People are stupid, what can
Usually happens in anything. Someone makes a non-original character idea that gets ridiculously protective of the idea and starts to throw wild accusations around at anyone who happens to have the same hair colour or god knows what.
Not to mention those just trolling you for the fact that they know you've been accused of it in the past.
Just call them a pretentious ass and move on. Usually works for me.

People are just being silly, don't mind them. *hug*
This is my Atuutluk. She
But yes, she is In Forest/Game and she does turn into a crow regularly. She enjoys running at full speed and flying around the forest. lol She is a very friendly character and I am sure she'd enjoy another crow brothern to run/fly around with. :3
Don't let them get to you
Trust me, I've noticed it happening to you.
Did you know I go back and often read the bios you have up?
I do, because you're one of the most creative, artistic people that I have ever had the pleasure of knowing.
Overused designs? Yes.
But that's what I love.
You've taken overused designs, shaped them, and made them your own.
You've turned things that are overused and made them original, made them shiny, made them brilliant once again.
to anyone who would accuse you in such a petty way, I have to say.
it's a sad day when you're so uncreative that anything similar to your ideas, makes you feel the need to drag someone through the dirt
Mwah, they're just jealous.

First of all,.. I really
I was very upset at the time because I was the only person with a rabbit-based character in the endless forest and then suddenly someone(because you were under a different account, I had no idea it was you) comes up with one. Maybe it was selfish of me to inquire about it, but wouldn't you have felt the same if you thought one of your dearest characters had been ripped off..?
Please, especially with everyone rightfully taking your side, don't make me look like the bad-guy. :/ I agree that the other two were also false accusations, but you have to understand the other side too. I'm sorry this keeps happening.
It's alright, Tally, I hold
I understand, but it's the general situation that keeps repeating itself.
And I know I would, love, I did when someone else made a star, heh..
I'll edit the post.. <3
