Jem Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I'd rather not wear something that was just a collection of stolen crap. And to think people are okay with this, even. So much for original ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is not a recolor at all, it dont look like that, actually, that official Alice costume disgust me urgh, so ugly, while this winner one look so wonderful, so perfect, would get a copy of it for each of my characters. So, that being said, i also agree that the one that you like is original, not my style but totally deserve a high position (even tho the male version look similar to already in game costumes, but theres none like the female one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may be unique but not original. I'm okay with it since I don't really care. If they don't go and just take the whole design of someone else and slap their name over it, I'm fine with it. Clearly they took bits and pieces of other works and made a new look with them. I'm not trying to defend them, just saying that I wouldn't mind pouring some money in for the outfit. 1 hour ago, fruiteaterz said: very interesting i must say. it wasa truly exciting and wonderful contest and im happy to see ppl are satisfied and all. congratulations to the 300 participants for participating.

843930_1452550144 Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Personally i wouldn't buy the outfit just for the fact it is copied, i hope the original creators DMCA the ass of that person for stealing it, also shame on you NCSOFT for turning a blind eye....

TecoTek Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 GUys stop that talking about stealing shit.. Every single costume in BnS is stolen if u keep thinking like that. Look at all the other Online Games or games in general out there, im sure for 99,999999999 % of the costumes in BnS u will find sth that looks similar / parts of other costumes. But i still agree that sth more creative (in terms of not reused theme like Alice in wonderland) would make a better no 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ichora Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I'l admit, I have some bias since I am a fan of the costume (a Gon-f costume that ISN'T basically two pieces of cloth that cover only the important bits! amaze!) but I think the main issue with "SGILSKEM COSTUME IS COPIED IT CANT WIN THEN!!11!!!!!!!one!!!11!1" is the fact that the internet is so vast. Countless people are producing designs and poses everyday; it's only a matter of time before there's some kind of overlap, no matter how obscure. The fact of the matter is, without interrogating the actual artist, you can't really be sure if s/he created the design or not. You can believe it, and hold up images you found off the internet that you think look like the costume, but I can just as well disagree and say I think it's just an unfortunate coincidence. Furthermore, the line between inspiration and imitation is an unclear one. Even if the artist had seen the "copied" designs beforehand, the images could have just been inspiration and reference material. As far as I can tell, nothing in the submission and the art that was supposedly copied is exactly the same. There are similarities, yes, but you can't outright say this person copied and pasted parts from x image. I say innocent until someone can actual prove (not speculate) guilty. no rly doe u peepls sound like ur salty ur slooty runner up didnt win ++liek dat tribal animal skull design? game already has a variant on it (those hunter doods in northreach area or w/e). who's the copier now huh? other designs are pretty niche. wodnerlands got a bit of everything, and its mainstream enough that it can be a contest winner without feeling like it's catering to a specific crowd (dat one goth one) or meme (i love ducks tho qq) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what makes you say or even think it's a coincident, inspiration or whatever but you can clearly see it's blatant tracing at work here. Look at the hand of the gon holding the mallet, is that coincident? i think not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

854450_1452550237 Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 wow... that's an insult, that poor, poor Artist... Too bad some people still want the art thief's work. Some people will never understand how it feels to have something you work so hard on show it to the public and it gets stolen for a contest or profit, until their it happens to them. Despite the evidence laid out in front of them, people still would want to by the ripped off version, Because it looks better. let's not put this thread into another flamewar about who is in the right and who is in the wrong. The mods came and said they are looking into the matter, so let's just drop this whole "Proof or it didn't happen! even though proof is in front of me but I'm too dense to realize it durrr~" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alysha Hawkeye Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 So, as long as it looks good, you're fine with it being something worth being disqualified, right?

Jem Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Next costume contest, I'll just take shit from other famous animus and mangos, put some nice color palletes people like, slap 'ORIGINAL AND UNIQUE, DONUT STEEL' on it and it'll win, right?

Shelly Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 No we don't. The main problem is that no one wants to reward this kind of behavior. I have a close friend who is a graphic artist (using vectors, so all of her work is her own). She has to see her crap get stolen and posted up by someone else without credit. And that's just annoying. Letting this person win will end up snowballing into discouraging real artists from competing. I do love this design and it was cute given the fact that I felt like some of the other designers shit on lyns for some reason. =-= But morals > an in-game outfit. Do not reward the winner. Pick another outfit please. And please figure out what outfits were traced or legit. To be honest. I was semi-fine with body poses being traced because that's not a part of designing. I was less fine with the hair and mask being traced, but... it was ok... as long as ncsoft doesn't implement it (because they usually don't implement accessories). But when someone said the ankle thingys were traced as well. All of these elements eventually add up to this designer being shady af. If you directly trace things, you have to give credit.

Talk all they want about how it doesn't have to look professional. Just need an idea of what you have in mind, to enter. Maybe the winner had an idea in mind, but couldn't draw it as well as he/she wanted. Look at all the ones chosen. None of them look like "crap art that puts across the idea" :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(fits the BnS theme) :D and there's a rocket booster from its butt which increases 50% more speed when sprinting on land, 80% on water :D :D and and it can fly 0.1cm higher each time you spam a button when your character is gliding down :D :D :D (fits... the game play?lol) On to the topic, Putting the "stealing or not" aside, I think AiW entry is a cute outfit for Halloween. However, I would prefer the Korean artist just because his/her design fits more to Alice theme for Halloween purpose. If I must choose from the existing entries (winner & runner ups), I would prefer Marion's male & Amalia --coz I like stars . Patrick's Sorcery is nice, it's kinda more fancy than the existing "empress" in game. Still, I would love to see the other entries. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of them look like "crap art that puts across the idea" :p That is a perfect explanation, and thats what i mean, ok, the winner didnt designer it 100%, but his idea was way more outstanding than the rest, is the first time i actually like the design of a winner, and ppl are fighting over cancelling it?, i honestly think the author at least did a very well job picking that mix, but i agree that he should have at least modify the pieces in order to look a little different, is ok using stuff as inspiration, but not tracing them.
