Yeah, We are NOT doing this. No one should ever do this, and no one should feel like this is okay.
Please, please, PLEASE, do NOT white knight on my behalf. Pepper and the Dingbat's new Mewtwo have a similar color scheme, and that's where the similarities end. Besides I KNOW about the new Two, even before they posted it on Tumblr.
If you feel like a design is heavily referencing mine and want it to be known, come to ME. Send ME that DM first and foremost. 9/10 it was a coincidence, and the other 1 could have been resolved quietly.
Also, you didn't say "It's not cool."
You outright called them Unoriginal, you are the ONLY one who called to the fact that Ding's new Mewtwo had a color scheme similar to Pepper's. You weren't nice about it, and you sure as hell had no reason to stick your nose in the way you did.
If you had even looked through mine or their blog, you'd have seen that we have done collabs before, I draw their characters on occasion!
Look with recent drama and all that good jazz, I get it. But no one should EVER handle a situation like this.
To anyone else out there, creating Mewtwo's is a dime a dozen. Most of my OCs have very simple but easy-to-follow designs, and that's okay. it's okay to take inspiration, it's okay to want a Yellow and Gray Two, and it's okay to want an Alpha Mew. I draw the line when you copy/paste and adjust the color slightly. I draw the line when there is no difference other than a small little color change.
These are NOT the same Mewtwo, not even CLOSE.
Anyways, rant over, I'm off to block that anon, and for the rest of you
Check out @dingbat-thing, they are a silly goober and their art is cute.
Spread love to them, especially after this disaster of a take.
