If youre reading this and youre one of my watchers than thanks for reading, this whole entry is very importnant, to me at least.

A friend helped me find something on DA one night proving that someone has attempted to bite off of one of my pictures. To alot of people this may seem childish and pointless but you know, when you try to make a character and even if it is a character created for the sonic world its still one you created.

Awhile ago I had done a deviation:[link] It featured my character Enix in front of a burning forest.

A friend who was searchng through DA had come upon this pic. and showed it to me,: [link]

Now, if you look at my picture and than take a look at his picture I think the evidence is pretty clear of what I'm trying to prove.

If you dont see what I see than I'll go into detail.

The first thing I noticed was the hair. The way its styled. It flows the same exact way Enix's hair does, mainly the way the hair curves at the end next to his face, his difference is that it's somewhat longer. The top of the hair may not spike upward but the way it too is stylized also shows a resemblance to enix's hair.

The characters clothes are obviously different but if you see the way he drew it, the way his guy is standing, the way the pants overlap his sneakers. Its all too similar, the overall pose was ripped off. Not only that but the guy's color is light blue, now enix isnt light blue but in the pic which i believed he ripped off his hair was a somewhat light blueish tint.

Now it could all be coincidence but the thing is I know this guy from school. He inst a friend but I have friends who are friends with him. They too have called him a biter before saying that he copies a lot of people, even a recent flash he made has a discussion in which a friend says that copying ppl isnt cool (the flash is in his scraps.)

When confronted he says he had never even seen my page and that he didnt rip anything. The time doesnt even add up either way, I mean he submitted long after I submitted mine. Its all too much of a coincidence.

I wrote this entry becuase it isnt cool in any form to ripp off a character someone has crafted, Enix may have started off as a Sonic fan character but he ended up becoming something more, something i created I changed him from this old style to a new, one that was my own.

The point is if someone cant create something and they have to rip off someone else they shouldnt be allowed to go on and think that its fine and that they are right. The evidence on my side is clear, to me at least. I want to know if I'm just crazy, I just needed to see if anyone thinks I'm wrong.


This isnt to start shit or anything but I mean if your art was ripped off too I'd expect the same. I just wanted to expose something I thoughht was wrong.

If you read this whole entry than thanks.

...I threw up and swallowed it back down. (OK, not really... but you know. The concept is a bugger.) I REALLY respect how you came off about this, because I generally detest it when people go "OH LOOK AT THIS WHORE STOLE MY WORK FLAME IT WSRGEMRG > : (" and you didn't even have to mention name, but it was obvious.

I just hope this doesn't start a bash fest of any sort. And even if it were to be reported, dA being the... people they are... would probably hesitate or not take it down at all. This really bugs me... and then there is the strange aura of denial on the other end.

Coincidence. Hmph.

I like that people are better than that but don't get me wrong i do see the resemblance but at the same time it could a coincidence. But I do think you have a right to be worried Enix is yours and you work hard on him! And if this wasn't just a coincidence (not that I'm saying it's not) then I tell this guy who mit be coping you to to hell! I hope that helps and I thought I should let you know your a lot better artist than this guy ethier way!
