hours on their design would understand. You are a hypocrite and stop trying to act like a moderator, kiddo.
The only similarities between your entry and Squeak's entry are the maple leaves. The enlarged maple leaf is part of the MapleStory logo, so it cannot be considered plagiarism because it is an expected design element and you did not create the logo. The scattered maple leaves are not similar because Squeak used the official MapleStory maple leaf in the background three times as well as soft scattered dots, while you used a default Photoshop scatter brush that is designed to be used in the way that you used it. That can't be considered plagiarism either, because the leaf shape is different, as well as the placement, and you did not design that brush.
I hope after seeing how other forum users, including a moderator, found no instances of plagiarism, that you will understand you have made a misjudgment, so let's be nice and respectful towards other users. This contest is supposed to be fun.
if you are going to make a sprite at least make it the same proportion size as the original base, because if you did it should look something like how i sprited your design below
Maybe you are misunderstanding. I think Squeak was trying to be helpful. He/she was just pointing out that Ohmysweetie's sprite model is not actual pixel size, which is true, and spent time making his/her version, whether or not that is how the sprite would look like if it is implemented.
It is nice to see you support your friend or fellow mapler, but let's be nice to everyone.
Cape: Erda Cloak - (Sad Erda); scarf & cape combined
Top: Erda Sweater - (Raging/Sad Erda) floppy sleeves
Bottom: Erda Tights - (Raging/Sad Erda) tights, a.k.a. sock pants
Shoes: Erda Blaze - (Blazing Erda) leaves behind a trail of blue flames
Weapon: Erda Lantern - (Tranquil/Lantern Erda) when attacking, lantern is unhooked and sent flying, then flies back shortly onto the "hook"
This outfit design is quite obviously inspired by Erdas from Vanishing Journey maps. I tried to go for a whimsical yet fashionable design that worked together as a whole, as well as separately. Therefore, users could probably mix and match these items with other outfits. I hence showed each item by itself and in layers to display their potential. I personally would love to wear these items both individually and as a set, so I'm really hoping my entry gets a chance.
By the way, this was based on a quick doodle I made for fun back in December last year.
Edit (Aug. 24): Fixed the image to include all required poses. Old image below.
*Edit (Aug. 28): The face accessory was supposed to be a joke, but a fellow alliance member (I SEE YOU TSU) wants it to be included, so here's my attempt at pixelizing it: (less)
What look you're going for (theme):
Fairy Princess (Flower Power!)
One of my go-to looks. Girly and flowery, this pink and green outfit shows the inner fairytale-lover in me.
The attack effect on the weapon is so pretty but I can't attack without transforming, so notice in the image below, the ears are normal and there is no Dollish Pink.
