intellectual property theft is real

[Drizzy]

dear nsfl

i would like to alert your attention to a sig made by @Kendrick and the stolen elements it has from a sig made by me (the psd of which is publicly available online)

now for those not versed in the making of graphics, it is common practice for someone to upload a psd of a sig in order to illustrate how to achieve certain effects. it is wrong however to straight up take layers out of a sig, or as is the case here, make minor changes to a sig and redress it as your own work (which is what has been done here)

here are the sigs in question





from the fact that the blue paint effects are in exactly the same position in both sigs, the text is of the same font, just with a colour change and some repositioning, the fact the background is the exact same with a slight colour change, and all other textures and effects are exactly the same prove in my mind that this sig is a straight up rip, with only the render changed and the colours of the effects. nothing else has been changed whatsoever, making it a particularly lazy rip at that.

this really isn't cool, and for someone involved in graphics for as long as kendrick, a practice that he knows beyond a doubt is wrong. i don't expect people to care too much about this but as someone who shares resources for those interested in graphics in an attempt to help, seeing shitty stolen versions of your work in a different league is infuriating to say the least
