*le sigh* Who agrees with me, Carte Blanche had an awesome idea with My Blue Nose Friends, but the fact is, there most recent designs were from ordinary people back in March, I know this because I drew up all there designs and submitted the copyrighted images to Carte Blanche to see what they thought, they ignored me. Recently they have bought all of those designs out, stealing peoples designs... illegally! Now, I know they were other peoples ideas, but as the designer I should be getting 1/2 of there profit and credit, aswell as been asked for permission to use them.... Ive had zilch. Feathers was originally my OC, well that plan went down the drain the day they announced they were bringing him out. He's got the same name, same species, same layout, same colour, I even made him a limited eddition, with the sparkly parts in the same place! I found this extremley unfair.... and when I contacted them... they said it was just a mere coincidence, yet all the designs back in March have been bought out exsactly the same recently!
Now I know what your thinking, "I dont care, get over it!" But what if a company stole one of your best ideas and were making money off it? Wouldnt you be annoyed? Everytime my mums friend comes over and mentions buying that peacock for her daughter, I feel my heart ripping in two, knowing Im a unknown artist, desiging a internationally rare toy, and not even getting a free one, and now I cant get one anywhere either!
Would you like to see proof? Now, its pretty old and hard to see, but it is coloured in the exsact same way as my profile picture ('there design')
