Just a friendly reminder that you should NOT use other people's characters in commissions without their permission. Just because you changed 1 or 2 things about the character after them saying no many times is still disrespectful. Its even more disrespectful then to have the artist make a knockoff based on your personal ref sheet.
In my opinion the artist should have contacted the other party saying "hey I was doing a commish using your ref. I thought it was odd that they used your ref but only had me change 1 or 2 things but completely copy the rest." A artist should confirm with ALL parties if this was ok. You should never take a commish unless the character belongs to them! Not them just handing you someone else's ref. Then saying copy this.
The only reason why the 2 changes were made is because I didn't agree to this. But it was commished anyway then they just took away 2 minor details leaving everything else down to the mark.
For Example:
Thats like taking Telephone's (ino89777) character and then just changing brown to green but leaving everything else the same then commissioning artists to draw them for whatever!
