Usually i completly avoid wonchop, hes gotten better at animating ill admit, but in my mind he still remains nothing special. but just recently i noticed that he has a penguin character named Tux... now, is it just me or has he stolen the Linux mascot/logo Tux the penguin and claimed it as his own? i asked him about it but ive not recieved an answer, do any of you know?

Wonchop's penguin is blue and white.

I do not know, but a change in color would not be an excuse from character theft if it is true. I have heard that he has been guilty of such things in the past, but I will not, and encourage others not to as well, make any judgements with out significant research.

[quote]I will not, and encourage others not to as well, make any judgements with out significant research.[/quote] exactly, thats why i thought it best to ask what you guys knew about this first. im not one to go and attack people usually, i like to know whats going on. but given wonchops history i was pretty suspicious from the moment i noticed a character called Tux... but when i saw it was a penguin... well

[quote]I have heard that he has been guilty of such things in the past...[/quote] Yeah. Last year was a fun season. <_<

[quote]Yeah. Last year was a fun season. <_< [/quote] OH BOY WAS IT EVER.

No really so what? Did he breach copyright issues? Is Linux out to get him? Who the hell cares! I seriously don't understand why you people have a problem with this guy... he is a great animator, yes not everyone likes his humor but he does try, looking at how he did not leave the site, he didn't go all emo or anything like that when the whole community litteraly went on his page to say "Fuck You" No he ignored and ignored and he improved more and more and right now i belive you either show something better or stop bitching about how his animation isn't that good...(O Yea you're just Adam Philips compared to him huh?) He is a great animator and you all know that. Ok if you don't i went and wrote a whole paragraph for nothing :[. ~Peace

[quoteI seriously don't understand why you people have a problem with this guy...[/quote] i dont have a problem with him, not at all... i just dont think stealing characters is something anybody should get away with. Funny how this goes without notice, but should he happen to piss off joanime (euugh) or cycon everyone seems to care. he isnt a grat animator... but he is by no means a bad one. hes gotten pretty good just recently, but most of what he does really dosnt interest me... i for one never went on to his page and said "fuck you" and at what point did i claim to be better than him? now, just calm the hell down for one second and maybe answer my question rather than go off on a rant about how much you want to bum love the guy?

I'm pretty sure a penguin with a tuxedo isn't unique. At all.

Well, I'm going to go agead and lock this topic for sake of anyone's feelings, and I do feel like ChampionChap has gotten his answer.
