      <body>You know, i'm all up for people on emptees spotting and reporting rips but i think it's getting a bit ridiculous now. Its a needle and its illustrated in my style, needless to say i have never come across that other tee in my life. I think even if i illustrated in any other way, someone would come along and find a similar design anyway. Check my other stuff and you will see that this is how i draw, i never rip because i know how it feels experiencing it first hand. Thanks.</body>

      <body>i just thought i'd seen it bro. never called you a ripper or anything. that being said, they are pretty close to the same needle, but it's true that this is your style as well. There are only so many ways to draw a needle anyway.

nice illy. keep it up. </body>

Nobody said it was a rip. You just happened to have quite a few designs that are rather similar and questionable to other pieces. I am only pointing out the similarities to make you aware.</body>

      <body>Thanks RustyEight.&lt;br&gt;
I'm sorry Matt but the only similarity in my opinion is the fact that they are both needles. And the first instance you pointed out with the pyramids was pretty absurd! I'm not having a go, but I feel that this website is no longer about celebrating people's design skills and creativity, but more of a huge finger point.</body>

1. Same color scheme
2. Same style needle (flat/simplistic)
3. Blood squirting out of needle
4. Reversed placement
It just seems like a lot of similarities in my opinion.

Your original pyramid design had the exact same placement as mine, and even had the rays coming off of it. Accept it dude.

You've only been a member on Emptees for about a month. I've been here for well over a here. You don't even know what you're talking about. End of discussion.</body>

      <body>Mate,
1. Needles are white, blood is red!
2. That style you mention is consistent throughout my work.
3. I had the idea of little blood monsters, where else are they gonna come out?
4. Reversed placement? How is that a bloody similarity?

That pyramid design was completely different. Mine has facial features and a bloody moustache for christ sake! It's not even in the same league of illustration either. If you're gonna pick on someone about their work, make sure it isn't someone who genuinely cares about the quality of their designs. Besides, if I was a scumbag I wouldn't be putting up this fight now would I?</body>
