he's not calling u a ripper douche bag ffs. hes saying you steal other peoples ideas and try to pass them off as your own. its completely true. if you deny it, the only person your fooling is yourself.

It's not the fact you copied ideas that bothers me, it's the way you have not given any credit to the original inspiration pieces. A simple 'here is where i got my ideas from: link link link' after each piece would make you completely legitemate. Without that I personally feel you are taking credit for ideas and compositions created by you, but entirely thought out and designed by someone else. Technically you're clicking the mouse, bu they're doing the really hard work, and you're not giving them credit for it.

Look, you seem like a very nice chap, but please do stop calling me a ripper 'in my words, as i can see it' i do [U]not[/U] rip art. Ok i did like the idea of one or two things griz made, and i thought to my self i might have a bash and try the style out, with a lot and i mean a lot of people do, 'copy styles' but Jesus man i did not rip anything he made. Any ways im sorry if i have defended you in any ways of this mistake i have made, and i will not do it again. Do you accept my apologies, yes or no?

You rip idea's, which in my book is just as bad, perhaps even worse than actual ripping, grow a brain and think up idea's of your own and stop copying other's.

Don't confuse me with someone calling you a ripper Kona (if you are) as I do not mean that by any means. Ripping as you said is simply taking an IMAGE and calling it your own. Some of your work however, is quite blatantly taking an IDEA, remaking it and calling it your own without credit.

For instance:
August 23rd submission, by griz-
[link]

Kona's 3 pieces released later:
[link]
[link]
[link]
bear an uncanny resemblance, but no credit for idea given to griz?


April 27th submission by griz-
[link]

Kona's later submission:
[link]

If you say taking an image and doing stuff to it is ripping, that's bloody close tbh.

Not pinnable as an offence on DeviantArt, by it's policies, but I personally lost respect of you when I found out, and further so when you proceded to insult me, but DA sorted that now right?

" Look, i see you have not got a lot to do with your sad life"?? what do you know about my life that is so sad? I make money from design that helps pay me through the teenage essentials. I also happen to very much enjoy art and design. I don't quite grasp what's sad about doing something you enjoy. I do not suffer depression, have very few real life enemies, and the quality of my friends satisfies me enough to enjoy life. Nothing sad about it, except maybe one thing. 2 weeks ago i bought a pink shirt i regret, was kinda sad.... i guess? but not to the level you're incinuating.

and for reference, the guy you asked who he is is called 'atype'- it's the name next to the avatar. Apparently i'm not the only one who thinks you're a discredit to this site, and the artists you fail to recognise.

Kona- In reply to Synaesthesia- [2004-12-03 15:14:02 +0000 UTC]

allwyas on msn now mate, and i cant be asked any with dick heads saying im a ripper, becouse to be honest with you people dont know what a rip is. A rip is where you right click save picter as, and start messing around with it and say you made it. Do you see me doing it to anyother body's art work? 'no i think not'. I'm not saying you are calling me a ripper, but some twats on the net is. lol!-Points at bubbles'panick' as he calls him self now. bless the poor little child he dont even know what a rip is.

I'd like a written apology on my page if you please, for the nature of your last comment, before i report it to DA. I commented on a work that asked for critique and you flame me- sorry but the hypocrisy and immaturity over that irritates me.

I'm not a tramp, and if it says critique is welcomed i will give it, and not 'shut my mouth' like you demanded of me on my own page. Either credit the original idea generator, don't blatently copy ideas, or at least be discreet and not abusive when someone finds you out to be a fraud. I must say I see promise in some of your work but compared to your 'half-rips' I often question whether or not there are more examples of idea theft in 'your' gallery.

Have a nice day.

first of all all abstract is not da same neither is all 2d but yours is the same as others colors and basics shapes and almost da same as others thats why you r a gay idea ripper cuz u take their idea and make a less quality worse looking version

Kona- In reply to Panikc [2004-11-10 18:24:55 +0000 UTC]

ok then, now your only saying that because of what has gone on in sd forums, show me one rip.
So if you say i coppy 2d wich all of 2d art is the same then you coppy the abstract art, and dont even say you dont because you was not the first one to start doing abstract but now you have seen it and like it so now you do it, why? oh becouse you coppy it, yes?

yeah i think so little chiled!
