I feel it necessary to make a journal about this. Please note, I am not looking to cause drama, I am not looking to witch hunt, or whatever you want to call it. I am merely making a note here for the record, because I do not want people accusing me, or even accusing  sixthleafclover of any sort of foul play or malicious intent such as art or idea theft. In my experience, people on this site seem very gung-ho about that sort of thing.

That being said, back on Dec 13, 2019, I commented on a twitter post by Sixthleafclover, and in it, I mentioned my sulfur crested cockatoo vocalist character Kadence, a character I have drawn quite a few times long before then, and have been developing for quite some time for one of my comics. Now, here in April, Sixthleafclover has created a sulfur crested cockatoo vocalist named Aya. and they posted a gorgeous illustration of her singing on their twitter as well as here. And they are already marketing the image, as that is Sixthleafclover's modus operandi, their record of posts shows that they make an income heavily selling their illustrations through merchandise, and the occasional commission. It is my belief, that Sixthleafclover was inspired by my introduction of Kadence to create Aya, likely not remembering where they even got the idea for the character. The timing is too perfect, and Aya is almost identical to Kadence in her character design, and pretty close in appearance, though Aya resembles a feral more while Kadence is clearly more Anthro. Had they made and posted many images between my message, and Aya's creation, I would have thought differently, but that is not the case.
That being said, My intent here, is to simply have this on record, as to have a time-stamped post regarding this matter. A preemptive defense against anyone who may throw shade or accusations against either Sixthleaf or I. At this time I have not received a response from Sixth after I reached out to them.
