the case seems to be closed for now. the person who admitted to me that they based flugapillar after my oc after finding a pic of him on google images as well as a second person’s oc has agreed to stop drawing this out of respect for the original creators. because this character was found out to be my concept taken without permission and swapped with a fandom character’s face, i’d like to ask that no more fanart be made of the character that was copied after caterpillar boy.
i understand that people have worked really hard on the flugapillar fanart they did make, so even though flugapillar ended up being based off of my oc, i’m cool with everyone leaving up their already existing art and fic for this because i get that yall worked hard on this stuff and it looks really nice. i just don’t want any more produced because every new iteration is effectively reusing my design without permission point blank now that we know for certain that that’s what the flugapillar idea is.
thank you to the person who first made flugapilar for agreeing to cooperate and thanks in advance to you guys for respecting my feelings and my intellectual property. as long as there isn’t any more of this, you can expect to see some caterpillar boy stuff probably this evening, and i’ll get back to finishing up the first chapter of his garden adventure.
