SirMagus Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 why are you asking that? Col John Sheppard? Cause i think he stole that design... The real designer is a girl from England who uploaded that sword on Deviant Art April, 26th, last year http://the-mighty-badger.deviantart.com/art/Sword-54041572 And the rules were clear: Make your own design. And if you also read the description on the deviant art picture, the sword was inspired by Final Fantasy. Which make 2 of the rules broken. But not really much to do about it now.. Just wanted to tell you guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natsu666 Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 wow that's crazy. why would you do that. someone was bound to find out hahaha. I'm working on some COLORED swords and daggers this time so I'll post those maybe next week. I have it think 5 claymore/longsowrds, a male without a father sword, and 3 daggers so far. definitely some of my best works so far. XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirMagus Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 I went on Exodus' profile and under "Other Information" it said "Male" Which means: The design is stolen! OH YEAH BABY! BUSTED! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyreil829 Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 perhaps not the sword was already made but he did change some bits of it its 100% silver no lines in it or the last bit the dangly thing + he could know the artist and asked he can use her design for all we know he helpped her drew it or perhaps it was exdous drawing but she posted it on the site Col John Sheppard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted269910User Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 You know people drawing the same weapon from a game that has had most likely millions of players isn't that uncommon, if you look at the outlines, they are totally different sketches of the same weapon model, the one exodus made aint as good looking, but with 99% certainty, his own work. I actually have a sketch similar to that one also, don't have a scanner so I could upload it, but just comes to prove that I'm not the first nor is exodus in drawing a weapon looking like that. if the weapon design was fully custom with NO relations at all to ANY game, plaguerism might be the case, in this case however, I'm not fairly easily convinced that is the case.

SirMagus Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Of course he drew his himself, cause it was supposed to be "his". And the 2 are like 99% equal. With all the details. On DevArt she said it was "Inspired" by final fantasy. That doesn't mean that it is directly from final fantasy or anything. So how can he draw something about 99% the same as someone else? Of course it's stolen. Maybe not the picture, but the design is stolen. Also the rules said that it was supposed to be "Your" design. So even if he knows the girl who made it and made it with her or helped her, he still broke the rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted269910User Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 True enough, yet my own design is almost 100% looking the same as theirs, albeit not as good of a sketch as hers. Might be just a coincidence on my part, but who knows, we'll just have to get a reply & confirmation from exodus, if he's lying, it shouldn't be too hard to figure out, two simple questions, which FF game/games and which weapon/weapons were the inspiration.

Lol, you tell us.. You have a design that is like 100% as you said. And could you also scan and upload your design? I wanna see it =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted269910User Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 First off, I said almost, secondly, I want to hear what exodus answers. There were two FF games, one weapon with added features from another, in particular that made me do a model that looks like this. If you want to know what they were for me, just tell me and I'll send you my answers in a PM, but I want to know the answers of exodus without anyone leaking the info to him. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
