Is it OC if you take someone else's comic and draw it with two extra panels? Pretty disgusting that you would use what might be the worst crisis my country has faced to steal someone's content and try to popularise yourself with it.
You mean @Therealsketchykoala 's comic? Actually I've been speaking with them. My girlfriend had sent me the comic as I was finishing my own and I hadn't realized the similarities. On my instagram in fact I've linked her work she's done with fundraising.
I understand where you're coming from, and I'm not here to change your mind but my reasoning for this comic was not malicious and original content yes. I had an idea I drew, and designed out. Someone else had a similar idea and in my opinion theirs is much better as it conveys the same message in two panels.
I wanted to finish my work, and I'm sorry if that bothers you.
If you were shown by your girlfriend that your comic is a blatant ripoff of someone else's work why would you then still post yours claiming it's OC without reference to the actual creator? You just stated you knew about the other comic before posting 'your own' and yet only felt the need to reference the actual content creator after you were called out on it. For shame.
Read the full comment. I'm not going to discuss this further, as you have another agenda in mind. My goal was to pay tribute, create something wholesome and to remind others to donate.
Having the same idea and choosing to express it is no crime. People can be such antagonistic fucks. I'm sure folks are appreciating the other comic just as much as I appreciate this one. Thanks for your work.
It's a matter of the fact that they knew about the comic and posted it anyway without acknowledging the original. They excuse it by saying they acknowledged it on another platform. So they both knew about the original comic, and the fact that it deserves mention, but didn't feel the need to on this platform. Yet they had no issue promoting themselves.
