Chupacabras!!
13 years ago
Alright, I'm having a lot of issues with this right now - more so than I have had before. Which is just making me make a journal about it.
If you have a chupacabra in my style, please link back to me as the original creator. It would be greatly appreciated. I'm not asking for something big, just want to be given credit where credit is due. I know that some people were encouraged to make chupacabras without knowing that I was the original design creator. So this is not your fault.. I merely just want to get this off of my chest and rectify some things.
To those of you who may say that I did not design a chupacabra and their chupacabra is just taken from the Myth of the species, I say this. Originally and generally chupacabras have been portrayed more as a reptilian beast. Or maybe even something more rodent like. In no way has there ever been a chupacabra that was a marsupial. Specifically not a marsupial/goat/dog/bat thing with huge ears and spots and kangaroo legs. It just didn't happen until I did it. I know this.
It's like you would do with any artist when you use their species. Such as Vera - who I will continue to use as an example for this. She is a Langurhali. She created them. It is a perfect example. People have created Langurhali as their own characters with her permission. They link back to her as the creator. The copyright of the design is hers, it's always been linked back to her as her own.
Another example for this issue is Zaush and his species - the Citra. No one fights him saying that he can't take credit for a species, they just link back to him as the creator and they are happy to do it. Because it is a kind of character that people love and want to use, which is a good thing because it is a credit to an artist's creativity. I've never said that it was a bad thing. I would just like the same courtesy. I know that this design is not as well known as being mine as Langurhalis are well known as being Vera's or Citras are well known as being Zaush's own. So I end up being left in the dark just for that fact. But being well known does not mean that you deserve more respect and courtesy than someone else.
Please help me out.
Original design from 2007 ago:
