Fate your template looks inspired by the HK's... and you could at least credit Showkaiser for using his pallet and mention your inspiration of his template.

Also those clothes are just an edit and recolor of Berserker's WIP character he did a while back. Credit it, please. :\


? Whos berserker? yes ill credit hk but its my own design?

Berserker is a member (not so active lately) that made a lot of resourses for the HK's.

Your sprite image next to his for comparison on this page:

Here is his sprite:

And the topic he posted it in:

Please credit him. They are too painfully similar to be coincidence.

Actually, that's a dress design that's been common in fantasy games and movies for a long time now. Not only has it been recreated in games & movies, but in the "doll" (i.e. pixel) sprites all over the net.

As much as Berserker's sprite is original, his dress design isn't. It will probably pop up here and there several times as it has inspired many works of art and media. To say that any sprite you see with extremely similar characteristics must be stealing from Berserker's design is not necessarily true.

Rather than an immediate attack and demand for credit, perhaps it would've been a better idea to point out the similarity and let Fate judge if he wanted to change his design to something more distinctinve or post the model he based the dress on. (And, yes, that dress does look like a dress from World of Warcraft, albeit with a little less detail - which would be expected given the difference in sprite size).

Edit:
I just realised I didn't comment on Fate's templates ...
They're great! I think you've got the proportions right and they certainly look very unique. The Elves seem a lot like Blood Elves in WoW, so it'll be pretty cool to see a game featuring them. Good luck, and keep going!

well ever since i started spriting and learnt tha technique i have drawn the dresses like that, but i didn't know how common it was. Thanks for nice post :)


I will be hopeing to make the biggest fantasy world game for everyone to play

Sure the design is going to pop up that's natural but I was more trying to point out the shading technique. I wasn't attacking or accusing anyone of stealing because for one I'm pretty sure Berserker allows his stuff to be for free use. I believe that goes along with being allowed to edit things too. :\

BUT to get this back on topic, the Elf template looks funky until you actually put hair on it. Once you do it looks pretty nifty. The green guys... the Gragons, was that a made up species/race you have there? They remind me of geinies will they be similar to that?
 
Looks like a Greenskin Djinn, which is an interesting concept. There is no real reason why in most fantasy Djinn's are portrayed as being distinctly human.

The Elf looks good. I can see where World of Warcraft inspired the clothing, definitely. Although I can also see what Raven the Dark Angel is saying about the clothes, It really does look like you simply cut out the middle part, and collar.
