>>55884889>>55884891The artists should either be flattered GF thought they were good enough ideas to rip off, or be proud of how shit the official designs are in comparison to their fakemon.
Getting indignant about a copyright holder ""stealing"" their unpaid, unsolicited works is dumb as fuck and accomplishes nothing, as they have no legal, logical, or moral claim to it at all. Having shit like this happen is the risk you run when making fan content, which the manchildren of this board would know if they ventured outside their seethe bubbles.
This is far more prevalent in YGO than Pokémon, btw, cards like Red Eyes Dark Dragoon had been drawn endlessly by fans for nearly 2 decades before the card was actually printed. With KT having been dead a couple of years, I expect it's going to become more common.
