[Closed] Adopt Alolan Ninetales
Almost done with my holiday break ;w;
Edit: Because of whole drama thing in comments I just will clear up my statement - I truly don’t see this as similar design to the one I made in the past. „Blue Ninetales” with celestial theme isn’t enough to accuse it as similar. I made both designs with clear and multiple original traits, making them both unique in my opinion and here is a comparison with colors and details. Only one similarity is moon on the butt and same-shaped pattern on ears (that’s actually taken from original Poks).
https://sta.sh/0mjc8ejwahr
I’m still standing by my opinion, because as artist I want to deliver to people original designs- sometimes by reusing general themes, clearly because people love same themes - and that’s it.

This design is really close to a character I own already :/

I don't want to cause drama, but it really does look similar. The original buyer Neveykarma has stated it makes them uncomfortable, but you're not willing to change much/anything. She bought the original adopt at a high price, and this adopt is very similar in many ways and cheats your customers out of unique designs.
Let's start with the main body. They're different blues. The pattern on the body is different. The pattern on the body is a different color. One has full legged socks while the other has socks that cut off at the paws, and have stars in them. One has yellow eyes, one does not. The manes and tails are different blues.
Or we can go the other route where the only real similarities are blue ninetales with a moon on its back leg.

If you do see an issue with two adopt designs having a similar theme, you're part of the problem. If every character that looked kind of like another one got called a "ripoff", we'd have long ago hit a wall on being able to make anything. "There is nothing new under the Sun" as the saying goes. The designs are plenty different, and if you can't see that, that seems like a you problem. Leave Chee alone.
If i cant be blunt, i think i would be appalled if i bough a very expensive adopt on one site then the artist posted what could almost be its sister to another site with out letting me know at all. The color pallete seem very similar, and i know colors cant be copywritten but like it woulda been easier to have is a different hue, galaxy comes in many different colors. Don't get me wrong it is a very beautiful but maybe having it a diffrent hue without the neck coller would help . Or even making it a physical collor further down would help it.
some of your adopts that you offer are more similar to each other than this case. not to shit on your art i too make adopts ( or used to) from using bases but i edit the lineart alot and tried making them distinct you take the moral highground while offering these. top and middle right are pretty similar https://www.furaffinity.net/view/56131102/ and more similar than chees ninetails
M just replying once to say the whole time i designed these i was showing them in a discord, everyone loved them XD they are deer themed and every one is a different hue, the last three have edits the first doesn't. The first is based on real deer colors, second is more a red hue the brow and only has a few freckles has head jewelry because yes. Third on top has a very distinct unicorn horn a almost fully white face ad is the Lightest of all of them. The middle row right has no tail a more deerlike muzzle appearance and hooves. These where all naturally colored as well so -shrugs- i try to make my adopt different . Also cant be shitting on my art since that is just adopts. I really should update my fa x.x
They look nothing alike. You see the blue and the fact that it is a ninetales, and yours just happens to be also a ninetales are the only similarities. Both of which are derived from the nine-tailed fox mythological creature. The blues are also different. That's the chance you take when you decide to buy a design that can have so many differences and colour palettes. Cosmic/Nebula/Galaxy designs are not all that different. Also it's a Pokemon. About as unoriginal as they come- Not to say that it's a bad thing... but this is not the hill to try and run up.
they aren't fake accounts... they're my friends from my art server. as the person who owned the first starry Ninetales design from this artist, I am super uncomfortable with the SAME artist making a similar character and putting it up for adoption. I am assuming you, as well as the other person, are friends of Chee, which is fine. There are differences, yes, its not the same exact character, but it IS super similar, and the fact its from the same artist doesn't help. If it was a different artist, I could call it a coincidence, but this is super hurtful to me since I spent so much on the design just to come across this one by the same person. The artist could have easily made it a sun-themed one, or used more purples, literally anything... but the markings, colors, theme, species... its all adds up to being super similar to my own character, and that hurts me as someone who collects lots of unique designs. It would be fine if the artist was willing to change some things so that its NOT so close to the one I own, but they aren't, which doesn't make this situation any better. Chee has made many starry type designs, but the fact its another starry Ninetales is WAY to close for comfort... no one owns colors, sure... but this is way too close for anyone's liking. If you spent $150 on a design you LOVED because it incorporates your favorite theme with your favorite Pokemon, you'd be upset as well to see one so similar being put up for adoption by the same artist. I have EVERY right to be upset about this, as do my friends.
chee made alot of designs and some of emare similar and i BET they would be okay with hue shifting this and fixing it if you actually asked for it nicely rather than leaving a passive agressive : / message and getting your friends to call them a ripoff or cheat.
also gonna add, you had no pfp before this and now changed it to the adopt you find is too similar thats sketchy as fuck

I didn't get my friends to do anything, I told them about the situation and told them they are welcome to comment their thoughts because I've never had this happen before and it's concerning to me, and they just happened to agree that they are super similar.
Also, not really sketchy lol I don't really use this website much and am still figuring it out. I prefer DA, personally.

well in that case next time make a case for yourself and express your concerns im sure people would actually go " alright i respect your opniion we can meet somewhere in the middle" instead of making a comment like you did cause that on its own got me like "fuck off" and for the PFP thing , it IS sketchy . between all the characters you own you chose this one NOW because its relevant i would not have done that that didnt do yourself any favors and im pretty sure people agree with my points , this is less about defending chee and more this being approached poorly
I see both the similarities and differences in the design, and personally for me, the similarities are just way too close for me to be comfortable with it and really hurts that she wouldn't be willing to try and make it so I'm not so uncomfortable with seeing this adopt be made... I was super excited to have this Ninetales design, and it just hurts to be in this situation. I know that Pokemon are limited... but why make two different Ninetales with the same theme as adopts? Could've easily done a sun-theme which would've been SUPER cool, no issues would've been made and I might've even AB'd it to match my own... they could make it more purple colors instead of blue, even, but they aren't willing to do that either, and it wouldn't be difficult to do a simple hue change... there's just a lot of things that could've been done here to avoid it blowing up, but Chee was unwilling to do anything which just hurts in my opinion...
Oh wow.... I hadn't seen this when I originally replied to you... This is not a good look, my friend. You bought the first design because you valued it enough and supported the artist. You do not own Pokemon, and the fact that you have a pokemon character and complaining about this is completely hypocritical. If it was a unique design I could see this being more of an issue. But you have an issue with the artist using the colour blue, using a starry theme, and because it's a ninetales. Do you hear yourself?
"but this is way too close for anyone's liking." The fact there are several of us saying otherwise is proof this is wrong. Stop projecting.
And if you're so concerned about your characters being and staying unique, you're going to need to start making your own characters, never show them to anyone, and make them ugly as sin, because there is no other way that you're going to avoid other characters having similarities.

Hope this will clear things out. Detailed comparison of those two.

I do take care of fact to not make similar designs, and „blue Ninetales” is not enough to accuse me of making similar designs. And I’m not „making design similar to rip off someone because it sold for good money”, believe me, I’m not that low.
Thank you for those who enjoy my work and believe in my originality, because I’m doing my best everytime to do something which is unique in own way.

I can already tell from the moment that the person left said comment.
That both are these ninetales are clearly different in every single detail.
The only thing that i can see that comes off as 'similar' are crescent moon placement, being blue (When the shades of blue are CLEARLY DIFFERENT!!), the pokemon; ninetales and nothing more!
Cause i've been watching from the sidelines and i was like.. there is other artists out that are far worst, with doing a 'rip-off' of said design than what's happening here!
And on top of it! This is my fave color palette that i absolutely loved and adore, which i couldn't resist making a bid on it! ;; w;;
You have done an fantastic job with making adoptables, ever since i've find and watch you from DA.
I still owned that mermaid boy that i won from the auction through! :'3x <3 <3 <3

I still need to get artwork of my mermaid boy, one day! Since it is may! Which may is May-maid month! 8) heh heh heh
I'm currently waiting for an online friendo of mine to work on a humanoid version of him as he being part of my idol boys group
That i currently have going on for him and bunch of other cuties! :)
Looks like they made an AB on it... I think they only did it, cause of them being insecure and not liking the idea of another starry/galaxy theme ninetales. Where theirs can be the only one.. Which is not the case at all. It's up to you to decided to accept their ab or not as it's your artwork and creation of said design.

Thats awesome to hear! Nice to know that you’re working on them :D
And yep, I decided to go with their offer after a while; I’m still standing by my side, as they are on theirs. They think it’s quite too similar , but I truly think that repeating themes + specific Pokémon is completely fine, as long as designs are not similar. And I made a comparison showing that mine are not ;; Still thank you so much for liking the design and bidding under them, I truly appreciate it!

Your welcome! I'm just so happy to be having them in my hands to be honest.
Ah ok! I hope that this teaches them a lesson that.
They don't go off at other artists and yourself again from wanting to do a repeating theme + specific pokemon..
Cause seeing this behavior from them along with their two friends getting involved is clearly unacceptable in my opinion.
Can't wait to be seeing another starry theme cutie in your style, even if it is another ninetales.
I shall be waiting for one to catch my eyes again, one day. :'3x

As someone who comes up and gives others Pokemon designs in their free time I can assure everyone here that there is only so much you can do before it looks weird in certain Pokemon. Using certain designs and patterns based on real life things multiple times is NOT plagerism or outright copying, there is only so much you can change to make a Pokemon based on the night sky stand out from a different one based on the same thing. The same goes for hybrids; there can only be so many pieces you can exchange before it starts to look odd or you have to introduce something new. Both Ninetails are based on the same real life thing: The night sky and where as the first was more based on a clear, starless sky this one looks like a starry one. A 'copy' would be having a second starless Ninetails with the same split tails and similar patterns, anything less and it's still unique.
All in all, I think you did outstanding work again Chee, I would've definitely picked this one up if I weren't in German timezone and had only recently grabbed the Leafeon. Keep up the good work and don't let this get to your head!

Thank you so much! I’m fine, I know I’m right and the whole thing you wrote here is also very right in my opinion as well, differences in both designs are pretty clear and as you say, celestial themes Ninetales is nothing which cannot be repeated and is unique just with combination of theme and specific Pokémon.
Thank you again for your kind words and for liking my work! It means a lot ^^

Yeah; because they still thought that it is similar, and probably didn’t wanted other person to have it? I guess? Dunno honestly, but I still stand by my statement, it’s very different from other Ninetales I made and „blue celestial Ninetales” is not enough to say it’s similar.
Thank u so much and no worries! I’m not upset or anything~
