I'm trying to figure out if being able to put user avatars in your post means you have a paid subscription?

I hate DA so much. That's why I will never join that place. Ashley, DA is quite a nice place to be. I've had my problems there just as I have had here. Most of the forums are what you make it. You go in with a bad attitude and you will leave the same way. Drakkenfan. I am with you on this one. Although it is only part of the picture that is so close a resemblance not to be copied. I wonder how many other faces/figures he copied. Please don't jump all over the fanclub. How would they know someone copied it? With the huge amount of pictures out there it would be impossible to check each picture for copying. They may not be able to do much but the fans here and at DA can send him some notes. But be careful. Those of us who are members at DA, if you send several notes and influence others to do the same, he could come back on you on hassassment charges. Contact him but be careful about it.

Contact him but be careful about it. I already contacted him and he admitted he used my drawing and other people's drawings too, but he called me "laughable". He seems to think it's perfectly ok what he did, because the KP characters belong to Disney. Oh, I have nothing against the club. How would they know?

Yeah. You should talk to FaZhou. He's also working on that club, or helps run it.
I know that he would support you. He's one of my best friends. Tell him, Ashley Benlove sent you.

But anyway I just hope this can be resolved, and we gotta watch how we handle the matter, less we want some flaming on both behalfs.

I found the Shego. It's an exact copy of a screencap from the Journal entry of the Club Shego website. Here is the screencap next to his drawing:

The Shego face I think has it's roots as an actual cell, or at least promotional artwork. The Kim looks VERY familiar too.
I'm willing to bet the rest of it is copied from either actual Naruto artwork, or fanart

It's a guy lol.
And yeah, it all looks very pieced together. I wonder if any of it, aside from the photoshopping, is original?

Boo-frickin-hoo. You should take it as a compliment, he didn't steal it he just used your drawing as a basis to draw that pose. You think Steve Silver gets pissed everytime someone draws a KP character? He thought yours was the best to base his own on, deal with it. I do this all the time, sure I don't enter competitions, but I do ink other peoples sketches and make them my own.
Also, I'm sure it could be pure coincidence. It's a popular look for Drakken.
EDIT: I come off as more defensive than I meant to here, I'm just trying to show another persons point of view, not outright defending him.

And his drawing is not just "based on" mine, it's a copy of it. If he had just copied my art I'd be only a little angry. But the fact that he had the gall to enter it in a contest and he won first prize really makes me angry. And then he's acting like a jerk about it calling me laughable. This guy is a fraud who copies his art from other places claiming it as his own. By the way, I found his source for the Rufus...
