Regarding my Andrea and a certain popular game character
10 years ago
General
Before people make the wrong assumption about this journal, I'm not making a call out or anything or trying to claim thievery or any ridiculous nonsense like that. I simply saw a few people mistaking my character for Undyne of Undertale. So I wanted to make a journal before someone tries to accuse me of character copying.
It's merely coincidence and my character is not inspired by Undyne. I actually had Andrea's design finished long before Undertale was finished and released (though after it was just a demo that only led up to after the Toriel boss fight). To prove this, here is the final design I had done by nexsix where the image had been submitted in 2014;

and even here's my own submission of it around the same time;

Undertale was released in 2015 according to Wikipedia;

I'm also aware Undertale is older than this. Though the Kickstarter has no real images of Undyne being armorless (unless there's one in there if you're a backer, in which I'm not so I couldn't have seen it anyway).

So yeah, just coincidence. No one's accused me of anything yet, but just figured I would cover my ass before someone tries to start saying shit anyway because both Undertale fans and furries are fucking crazy.

Funny enough, I had know several sharks with eyepatches on Second Life when the shark avatars became popular... And I've known a Sahagin with an eyepatch who was a fan of Final Fantasy and pirates like... 4 years ago? Maybe 5? So it's not difficult to think it's an easy character to mistake.
