It happens to everyone. And hardly anybody gets called on it. _{(Thank goodness.)}

But what happens if you do? A whole mess of crap just explodes all over your computer and face and it gets in your mouth too if you open towards those people. It's not uncommon for me to find that my ideas have already been made by either better or worse artists. Like for a my iguananoids, their ears are apparently commonly used with various other creatures. Honestly, I just came up with the ears on accident. I went through about ten pairs of ears before I decided on one. Imagine how upset I was knowing that by doing this, I could have that whole 'Art Thievery' thing exploding in my face.

Other Examples? Sure!

I've been wanting to draw a Raikou and Me picture for ages. _{(Anything related to a tiger automatically gets a place in my heart.)} So I was finally going to do it until I got it. _{(I had been practicing this picture many times, but it was never to my liking... o_O )} So I go look up 'Raikou' on here, and low and behold, there's the picture that I've been wanting to draw for so long. Just staring me in the face. That was a punch in the gut, because in almost everyway, it was exactly what I wanted to draw. The angle, the background, the positioning. Needless to say, I abandoned that drawing shortly afterwards.


Today, I decided I wanted to draw a Vulpix and Shinx drawing. In honor of my Poke-Team in Mystery Dungeon Sky. I thought the design I had for my Vulpix was original. _{(Loosely based on a Silver-Fox, when they start to get their adult coat. Which is beautiful thing, by the way, you should check that out.)} Anywho, it was like that, but with red/brown/white. _{(Anyone remember Vulpix's White tails?)} but nope! There was a design that was so similar, that you probably wouldn't have been able to tell the difference. So now that's shot to hell.


But I want to draw these so badly. And I'm avoiding it just so I don't get scolded at? Maybe have my account shut down? Reading this, you're probably thinking I'm a tad paranoid. I would guess that I am, since I lock everything in the house whilest I go to bed, and sometimes, I won't even sleep during the night for fear of being robbed or murdered. So I just stay up. _{(Which is why I'm up right now! Coincidence?)}


All in all, I don't think that someone should be punished when they thought of something on their own. But how can you ever tell, right? Blegh. I'm going to play Hey You, Pikachu! now. It's frighteningly quiet.


_{Oh, and I'm always afraid of zombies existing. I know what I'm going to do if it happens, but man, I really don't like the idea of my intestines being ripped out to be eaten while I'm still alive. I also hate the idea of doing that to someone. ...that poor poor person.}
