SoRcaRtoA 51 Posted March 5 Posted March 5 (edited) How is it possible that @Melistr received an honorable mention? I proved that he stole someone else's work 2025-02-23-17-49-09~3.mp4 Edited March 5 by SoRcaRtoA Drakoslayd 1 Quote
dvd255 10 Posted March 5 Posted March 5 Glad the judges liked my costume but seriously, Melistr's costume is very obviously stolen, how did it get a 5k honorable mention? Kind of disrespectful to everyone who tried their hardest Sigma, Drakoslayd and Toad Sage 1 1 1 Quote

Kind of disrespectful to everyone who tried their hardest why are you worried? your costume looks very much like a rip-off too. it just so happens that the judges of these contests are extremely short-sighted.

The only similarity is that it's a goat...? mine has completely different head, body, colors, horns and overall theme.Meanwhile compare it to Melistr's costume: uses the same colors and the same shapes as that image pulled from Google, it's laughably obvious from the video that it was stolen. Those 2 cases are not comparable at all. There's no similarity beyond them both being goats, by your logic I'm not allowed to make a cat costume since the game already has a few Mateusz and SoRcaRtoA 2 Quote

The contest rules explicitly state that it is forbidden to copy or change elements of existing costumes. This sheep costume was added recently, it is unlikely that you had the brilliant idea to create a similar costume (which actually looks like just a poorly made specter of the hildr costume).

Sorry to butt in but what element did he copy or change? The head is completely different and there are no other similarities, did warspear invent the concept of goats or something? By analyzing the sprites you can see that they are objectively completely different You may like the suit or not, but thinking that the suit is stolen makes no sense 2025-03-05-15-56-32~2.mp4 dvd255, Mateusz and Shimarin 3 Quote

That costume is literally a re-color of Dreamer, an insult by the judges of that year towards all the participants but both cases are different, As I showed in the video the goat suits are completely different your complaint is that goats look like goats all over the world lol 23 minutes ago, Sigma said: Whether I like it or not is my problem, although my questioning is completely valid, I am convinced of my words, and my claims are completely valid.

If you can't see the elements that make them look similar and question my suspicion of copying, that's your problem. I recommend that you don't replicate it for me anymore, because I'm not interested in this topic anymore. Quote

Si no puedes ver los elementos que las hacen parecer similares y cuestionas mi sospecha de que estoy copiando, ese es tu problema. Te recomiendo que no me lo repliques más, porque ya no me interesa este tema. The elements that make them similar are that they are literally the same animal and that is your complaint but objectively they are completely different as I have already demonstrated. We could continue defending our positions but if you want to stop, we'll finish 23 minutes ago, Sigma said: Sí, copiar una silueta y rellenarla con un color primario o secundario y cambiar uno o dos píxeles no parece copia, ¿verdad?

It's a good thing you stop discussing this topic because I've been watching your conversation and you brought up completely unrelated and irrelevant example to the discussion. Shadowfang's case is unique and should only be discussed within its boundaries. It's not drawing the same animal, it's not copying shilouette, it's taking an image from Google, stretch it to fit the contest's required size (and btw, by stretching it in Pixel Studio as shown in video, the numbers of pixels will adjust themselves. So the costume poster didn't even need to draw from scratch), then changed a few pixels to fit the remaining formats like the legs. To me, I've worked really hard between my real life work to create my best frog costume this year. And seeing Shadowfang in this post getting honored is an insult to me and my hardwork. And I am certain others feel the same. If you can't see the difference and want to leave the discussion, good for you. You won't win it by continuing. Shimarin 1 Quote

munikio 2 Posted March 5 Posted March 5 Español : Viendo la cantidad de participantes en la sección principal de trajes, que eran alrededor de 30 skin, de donde salieron participantes de una sección "portugués"???? Osea de repente el % de probabilidad de ganar aunque sea un reconocimiento por mi esfuerZo creando una skin "insectoide" se vio mermado por muchísimos más participantes que aparecieron de la nada en otro post oficial pero en portugués, enserio me estás diciendo que no pudieron publicar sus trajes en el mismo sitio que todos los demás para garantizar la libre competencia y lo peor de todo es que ni siquiera recibí un cofre de regalo por mi esfuerzo. Me conecté y ni aparece pero ohh hay dos usuarios que hicieron una re skin de cabra y literalmente un ajuste de tamaño de un skin de hombre gato que se puede bajar de internet. Que clase de competencia sana se puede tener si hay quienes ní se esforzaron en dibujar?? Es insultante honestamente... English : Looking at the amount of participants in the main costume section, which were around 30 skins, where did participants from a "Portuguese" section come from???? So suddenly the % of probability of winning even a recognition for my effort creating an "insectoid" skin was diminished by many more participants who appeared out of nowhere in another official post but in Portuguese, are you seriously telling me that they couldn't publish their costumes on the same site as everyone else to guarantee free competition and worst of all is that I didn't even receive a gift chest for my effort. I logged in and it doesn't even appear but ohh there are two users who made a goat reskin and literally a size adjustment of a catman skin that can be downloaded from the internet. What kind of healthy competition can you have if there are those who didn't even put any effort into drawing?? It's insulting honestly... Melistr>> seriously? Quote

Administrators Shimarin 1028 Posted March 6 Author Administrators Posted March 6 We were all deceived by this adorable kitty face While we appreciate the effort in adapting the referenced model to fit the game, the issue of origin remains. The model was created by someone else and used without their consent. In a different situation, if the original artist had adapted their own work for the game, that would be acceptable. Unfortunately, based on the contest rules Shadowfang is disqualified: В 31.01.2025 в 17:51, Shimarin сказал: No using other people's artwork from the Internet or other participants.

It will also encourage people who recognize plagiarism to speak up because they know appropriate actions will be taken. And perhaps the empty slot for the prize can be taken by other deserving costume? Just an idea. Also, speaking about prizes, umm, is there any estimate when we receive them Drakoslayd and Shimarin 2 Quote

The rewards have not been sent yet And while I can't publically disclose the details of the jury's discussion, I have zero doubts - the comprtition is fair. Take a closer look at the winners and honorable mentions. They all share one key feature that makes the costume eligeble for the winning: the proportions fit the provided template/mannequin. Your work is beautiful! With a bit more attention to detail, it could have made it to the finalists! 7 часов назад, Toad Sage сказал: Also, speaking about prizes, umm, is there any estimate when we receive them By the end of the day Tomorrow, I believe Спойлер Arinarian Treasury is quite busy at the moment!
