Oh please.

Wow, guys. Just blatantly copy everything, why dont you?


Original on the left, done by GraySapphire on DeviantArt. Lame Zodiac knock-off on the right, and really, who cares who did it?

Hello, I'm the one who made the pixel art of the monster. I did not blatantly copy it. I got exclusive permission from the deviantartist GraySapphire herself to use her creation for a 2d monster on Graal. After I showed her the completed results she was quite happy.

I know what I'm doing, don't worry about it.

I don't think Zodiac needs any new nice images, they need to fix the terrible ones they've had.

I'm working in the interest of Zodiac, and I love making new or custom monsters and baddies. Don't blame me.

I agree, I'm sure we can work something out to re-construct these ones to make them better.

I don't care about permissions. I care about laziness when it comes to monster ideas.

I'm not quite sure how you think your argument is logical. There's nothing wrong with simply honing my skill. If you want to see unique things then look at every other monster I made (both graphics and animations) in the Halloween dungeon, as well as the 24 armor icons and 14 weapons.

I knew you were responsible for the Underlord, looks nice and reminded me a bit of Setzer's hooded character from a few years ago. :]

This isn't a big deal since he has permission from the artist.

His argument seems great to me: Zodiac's already known for being pretty unoriginal, and you using a preexisting concept for a monster further adds to it.

On top of that, you shouldn't be "honing your skill" as a your graphic job. You should be providing examples of the skill you "honed".

lol @ me not being logical.

What I'm saying is, do your own stuff instead of borrowing it. Even if she gave you permission, it still doesn't mean you came up with it on your own. If you're so good at coming up with your own monsters, be consistent.

So you care about a simple monster yet you don't say a thing about graal being a lame zelda ripoff?

In our next Cataclysm update we're going to blow up the gmap, and release an improved Goblin race.
