Just Clarifying about the lil' white dragon
17 years ago
General
I've come across my character (the lil' baby white dragon) the second day I posted it here in FA (prior to the FA database/site being whiped-out clean the first time.) The first person to mimic was DragonFood. Now I see her, by lil' white dragon, more and more. But what bothers me is when other people take credit for having the 'original' one.
This bit of drama was started when Taliesin_the_dragoon made the following comment:
ehm, nope, it's not you. it's
ragarth critter... ^^''
Umm,.... Sure.
This gets into some deep logic stuff, but feel I need to clarify, nothing more. Unless people have seen it else where and is mimic something else (pokymon or other artists) two ideas never match. I've not seen a lil' white dragon any where else in media ... just here, (other then my first post on Deviant Art prior to here.)
This character is more then four years old, check the sign on the black and white image, and check deviant art where I first posted it. You can varify who's character showed up first by this site (by one day long then he's been on this site,) and on Deviant Art for much longer.
I find it flatering he likes the character, I'm flatered that others like to make a character which is just like my character. I enjoy seeing my work redone by others, I really do. I wish I got credit for the original character, but I'm not going to get all nazi about it. It doesn't bother me. Really it doesn't. I'm just clarifying where the character comes from.
And the screaming and running is the Role Play of what Innocents and Purity would do. Athough I've never cleary defined the naughty bits, every one draws the lil' white dragon as a HE. *shrugs* Again, I'm just clarifying.

I disagree.
Some years ago in a RP, I came across someone who had a character almost EXACTLY like mine...same height/weight, build, hair/eye colour, type of clothes, right down to a few almost-identical piercings. Turns out our characters also had vaguely similar backstories, personalities, and likes/dislikes.
I could have pitched a fit about it and claimed they were copying me (my character dates to around 1999) and they could have done likewise (their character was also a pretty old character) but we both realized that since neither of us had ever met on the RP before, it was highly unlikely we copied each other.
We just had the same basic idea and fleshed it out basically the same. Doesn't really matter who had the idea first.
There really is nothing new under the sun; the only basically un-copyable characters on FA that I have seen are the insanely (perhapse stupidly) complex characters that have five trillion very specific markings and shit. :P
