OOOOHHH, THAT'S bad. WOOOW. I want to know what happens after you contact this person who "commissioned" the work. This naive Brit kid with bad spelling is not understanding the weight behind ripping you off and if it were me, I'd get protective and nasty. You're really nice and professional about it which is awesome, but if you want to have an unholy army of your fans littering his comments with OUR take on the matter, we can easily make that happen.

LOL alerting your legions on DA would be the end-all of that kid.

It's the head as well as the tail coming out from under the costume's tail. I wouldn't say the concept of an anthromorph dressing up in a mascot costume is original. Sorry Kyle. I've seen it already, just in different styles and designs.

But the thought is this, is the character background the same? Looks like your character is.., well.., mentally broken as she thinks she really is a frog. Is it the same for his character?

But the mascot head could be changed more to be less lollipop like I think. As I've said, I've seen other anthros wearing mascots before that worked just as well without the uber over-sized proportions. Heck he could have even done a more Foghorn-as-a-costume-but-yellow-chick and had it work just as well Ya know?

How the tail comes out is another give away. Some folks won't show the extra tail. Other will show it instead of the mascot tail. Few I have seen show both. I would scour the various furry artsites and see what you can find there.

If it were a true recolor, it'd be the whole pose. Okay I know now I'm being a PITA. Mind you I agree that the similarities out weight the differences, including the line style and how the mascot costume is hung on the main character. Add to that the Spumco-like over-exgeration of the propotions ( ... )

I don't have a legal chance in hell seeing as a fox girl in a chicken suit isn't a raccoon girl in a frog suit, sadly, but I don't think this will ever have to really get to the legal point anyway. It would be both far easier and far more effective to merely ruin his reputation, but since at this point I've decided he poses no real threat, I'm stayed away from that. That's why this post is on my LJ rather than on DeviantArt where all hell would quickly break loose. Just wanted to make sure that you didn't seriously think I was merely on the rampage because someone dared to have something in a something else suit. All of Japan could sue ME if that were the case.

(Enough with this "Spumco" stuff, however. That's not where my style comes from and they didn't invent it anyway. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_DUITf9EOo1o/RzEYWjgJ53I/AAAAAAAAABs/ioGBrzWzrZ0/s400/Baby+Bottleneck+2.jpg )
