Found - My long lost Japanese brother
11 years ago
Huh, so it was brought to my attention that there is a Parasaur named Utah that looks a whole lot like me: http://atoama.jp/gallery.php?charaID=00064
I ran a quick translation on the Japanese text:
Name : Utah
Race: Parasaurolophus
Boys dinosaur much late teens speaking in humans . I love it's shy shy but really a bright personality , to play with friends who became friends
Now before anyone starts raging and trolling Amanojaku Studio, let me make this clear. I don't care. I think it's kinda cute that someone across the world copied my fursona design... I personally don't think I'm a very interesting or unique looking scalie (aside from my species choice). Amanojaki probably doesn't know I exist. Someone must have found my ref and sent it to them. It's impossible for a maker to know every fursuit design in the world, so they cannot be blamed if they had no knowledge.
Maybe one day I'll meet my Japanese brother... and he can bring me delicious Japanese snacks and I can bring him delicious maple syrup and we can have an family reunion of two nearly extinct duck-billed dinos.
**EDIT** It has come to my attention that some people found my post to be offensive. Re-reading my post, I can see how some people may think I am passive-agressively crying "Wah! Someone copied me; don't blame the maker, it's the customer's fault."
I am very sorry if anyone thought I was intentionally crying wolf or creating drama or making a fuss.
I DO think the suits look very similar. I think it's fun they look similar. I don't care if it was copied and altered slightly or if we both came up with a similar design independently.
I recently made a suit for someone which looked similar to another furry. Both parties had discussed and agreed on the final design before I made the suit, however when I posted photos people started calling me out on how this suit looked like another suit. In my attempt to prevent people from bothering Amanojaku, I seem to have inadvertently turned what I wanted to be a lighthearted post into a heated debate over what a selfish jerk I am.
That was never my intent and I am very sorry.

rather with so many of us, this is kind of almost inevitable.
I never going to own one in my lifetime XD
For a second there, I thought this was going to be a rekindling of that one King Of The Hill episode! XD
I never liked King of the Hill, so I guess I missed that reference?
Well, that episode was about Hank's father, Cotton, wanting to go to Japan to meet a former lover of his, who we later find out had a son.
He looks exactly like Hank, except Japanese. ;D
I pictured the scenario like the Little Foot's egg escaping the nest scene from the first Land Before Time movie! XD
this is hilarious
and gross all at the same time
This is what it sounds like when doves cry T_T
