I'm not trying to make anyone look like a jerk. I'm just disappointed that people have to copy my graphics and modify them and then claim them as their own. I didn't say anything about them being used on a playerworld or anything.

I'm simply stating that I don't really like seeing people copy other people. I mean, sure, I'm flattered that people like my work enough to base their own work off of it. But it's just too similar to mine for me not to care.

You wanted advice? Well here's some advice... Instead of basing your graphics on already existing work, you should make your graphics from scratch. This means, that while yes, you can be inspired by other graphics, but when it gets down to drawing your own, you need to focus on nothing else but your own drawing. Don't keep looking at mine, don't keep trying to emulate mine. Just have a blank paper (or paint program or whatever) and draw without looking at anything but what you're doing.

That's all I ask. I just don't like seeing people claiming artwork that they barely put any effort into creation-wise. Sorry if I offended you, I didn't mean to.
