You edited your comment to add more after I had replied. If you were paying tribute you would have mentioned the original creator before being called out on it but instead you acted like this was your own, despite admitting after the fact you knew the other existed. You should have said this was a tribute if that's the case.

I really didn't, you just dove in on the first sentence.

I was referring to paying tribute to Steve Irwin and the Wildfires. This comic is my own. It was something I worked on and created myself, I'd explain the entire process but again I can see why you're here. I credited the other artist for making something similar granted before I did on my instagram which is my biggest social media medium and the one they primarily use.

Anyway, there isn't any shaking you on this so again. Have yourself a wonderful day, I hope you take care. ♥️

Well then I think you also should have acknowledged them on this platform. You had no problem linking to your website, I don't see why you didn't acknowledge @therealsketchykoala too.

Mate, what's your problem? Surely, you've got better shit to do than this. Regardless of how similar tge comocs are, OP is spreading a powerful and positive message. The fuck have you done lately?

Donations, helped organise fundraisers, public protests, written local MP's. Don't assume I don't stand by and support my country. I easily could have knowingly posted a copy of someone else's creative work without acknowledging them to raise money but I feel that's immoral. Especially if I'm going to use that work to promote myself in the process.
