I'm probably making a way more big deal about this than needs to be, but I can't help it, if I don't say anything, it will seem like I'm ok with it. As a very new and very small creator, this has been an eye opener for me and has left me feeling incredibly sad and disrespected. (I won't be naming anyone or link the post, so don't get your hopes up, sorry).
I saw a post from a bigger creator (than me) for a hair recolor/retexture that was so incredibly similar to one that I had done not even a month back, that it just could not have been a coincidence that they didn't see mine, took inspiration from it, and gave me no credit at all. And when I say they took inspiration, they did the exact same hair, with the exact same color system, in the exact same pattern that i had done, it's identical to the one that I did. If they had wanted to try the color system out, they could have chosen from any number of other hairs, probably thousands! Or they could have chosen a different way to recolor the hair, lots and lots of other options, but no, it was exactly the same as what I had done.
In the past I have said a few kind words to this creator and been ignored at every attempt. That's fine. I even asked them a simple question once and another creator stepped in to answer it for me, because yet again they have ignored me at every turn. Again, that's their choice and I'm perfectly fine with that, I left them alone as it was crystal clear they had no intention of ever acknowledging me, and I'm perfectly ok with that. What i'm not ok with is when I saw that they had essentially copied my work without any simple credit, as simple as saying they had used mine for inspo.
This has killed me drive to do anymore creating, just this small thing I know. I feel stupid even creating this post. If I do come back it will be a good long while. Thanks to everyone who has supported me up til this point.
I love the stairs you did in Cluedo colors and can't wait for the other storybook stuff to be done. Thanks for all of it!
Thank you 🥹
Sorry for being so slow about getting the rest out, but I kinda keep putting it off because I don’t feel out of what I’ve completed so far that it’s 1000% perfect 😅
Sometimes I actually want to play the game, but then I have to start a new hood because it’s been probably over a year since the last time I actually played the game. I think of all the work I feel I need to do before I start playing and it’s kinda overwhelming. So I don’t even play even though I really want to 😖
I hope people don’t find me to be unapproachable, if you want me to do something with my work like make a change, a default, suggest a change of color, whatever it is, please feel free to ask me. My ask box is open but hardly is ever used sadly.
I’m converting this head scarf and need help with the bones. Any help is appreciated!! The issue pictured below. I’ve spent 3 hours trying to fix this.
