... and he's trying to sell it which you just said is plagiarism.
@everyone: please stop making puerile comments about how we hate RamyB because he's popular. Like Wednesday said, there are PLENTY of artists that I get excited for when they print and they are popular too. There is no jealousy here and no secret love (whomever said that sounds like a 12 year old). It's that RamyB wins by stealing ideas! From this site alone, there have been two shirts that have the exact same idea and a very similar composition, both were Fable's. Your ad hominem attacks do nothing to counter our argument that this idea is stolen. If you disagree, then do so by showing us how it's not. Saying "I don't care because I want it," doesn't work either.

stupididiot wrote:*sigh* they had the same idea, as long as they didnt take the previously done work from someone else and put it on a shirt and tried to sell it, its not plagiarism. I can take anyone of these ideas, do it in my own style or way whatever, and it would still be mine. granted it wouldnt be the first of its kind but it would just be another version of the same thing. that is not plagiarism. do you understand that now? im not stating an opinion. that is the facts. if one of the other shirts tried to file a lawsuit against this one for plagiarism, they would have no case. I have dealt with friends whos work has been plagiarized, so i know a lil bit about the situation when it comes to artwork. please all i ask is to stop throwing around wild accusations that are not true. you grasp onto a word because you think its dramatic. just call this idea unoriginal and MOVE ON.
And this is where you are wrong. Even if I take someone's idea and put it in my own words, it is plagiarism if I do not give credit to the person I got the idea from or have a specific artistic reason for doing so (like using a famous line from a Shakespearean play in a piece of literature). I grasp onto the word because I understand what it means. If I wanted to be dramatic, I would say, "This thieving criminal weaseled into the shirt world and highjacked another designer's idea with the help of the Illuminati." You have been here a couple months which means you didn't see the two previous shirts (one of them above) that have already been submitted (one printed). If you don't see this as plagiarism, i.e.: taking another person's idea and claiming it as your own without any artistic commentary for doing so, then you don't. But don't call me dramatic because you think it's dramatic to do so.
