I have seen it everywhere, we ALL have, it's happened to me, it's probably happened to you.....
Probably THE most IRRITATING thing to artists, and correct me if I'm wrong friends, is when someone comes along and says about your OC "reminds me of ___(insert character here)______"
Whether we are familiar with the character or not, this causes the biggest freaking twitch in our temples. I'm not even kidding you.
Just don't do it.
And no, this didn't come from someone doing it to me recently, it happened to an artist I like and since it HAS happened to me, I felt compelled to rant.
Because really, there isn't a more useless statement you can slap in a comment than that. You're not like, opening our minds to some game-breaking discovery. The only thing you're doing is making less confident people nervous or self conscious about their designs, and confident people pissed off. I'd say 85% of the time, the similarity was subconscious and not intentional at all. And even if it was intentional, NOTHING is original anyway. Everything is influenced by something.
A direct rip is a lot different than a subtle coincidence.
Just.
Learn that please.
THANKS.

I could not agree with her more. Seriously.
My designs/characters have nothing to do with yours/other characters/people. And if they do/did I'd mention it. thanks.
examples:
'OH HAY THAT REMINDS ME OF HARLEY QUINN'
'THAT REMINDS ME OF MY CHAR (insert name here), YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF EVER'
'that sooo reminds me of jimmies neopluridon moose char...timmy.' (<--this is relevant to me how?)
(I'm not necessarily even referring to people who are saying it meaning malicious things. it's ANNOYING IN GENERAL)
+edit
Also like...when you can't even use the colors pink and yellow now because some dipwad is going to go 'OMG FLUTTERSHY'. even if it's a cat....
