A runway fashion design.

I’ll steal it!

NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW

drat those arkh boys, they drive me to drink

oh boooo booo poor form >:(

i dont like art theft

Not defending it or anything, but is it really “art theft” if they’re taking something from real life and then putting it on a character? Is it art theft if a dude wears a blue t-shirt?

it’s about speceficity. A blue t-shirt on your original character wouldn’t be out of line, but what about a blue t-shirt with a green backpack, dark blue shorts, brown boots, and a bunny hood hat thing? Sure would be. What about a few years back when Buckley introduced a new character that was heavily inspired by another artist’s design? Most people agreed that was bad form.

There’s a difference between referencing a common article of clothing like a business suit jacket or a polo shirt and using it as a piece in a design and taking one-of-a-kind original pieces of haute couture and completely recreating the entire ensemble for your own profit. This isn’t even an “inspired by” deal, this is a designer’s original piece directly copied onto their game character, I assume without permission. If a clothing company “took inspiration” from this in the same way, that would be what we call bootlegging.

The original design is from Lebanese creator Zuhair Murad, from his Spring 2007 collection, I believe. You are more than welcome to go to his site and read the legal section specifying that you cannot produce derivative work from his collections for purposes other than your own personal non-commercial use if you’d lke.

I can’t wait to see how Arkh supporters will try and spin this to make it look like it’s all the fault of the white cis people.

thank god i stopped caring about this project. what shitheads.
