10th Anni Mount Competition Discussion Thread

This was their reply on the Facebook post, so at least we got some reassurance that stolen entries won't go unnoticed.​​

I find it funny that half of the so called original designs are stolen from multiple sites and or private servers....

Yvillis’s car entry already exists on multiple unofficial servers... Props to him for drawing it out though.

There are multiple troll mounts which took no time to design and legitimately photoshop a toon sitting on top of it I mean come on....

“Original aff designers GG pwi”

This. Sorry folks, but the rest are either too childish, or have been done to some degree, already. But this tiger is pro, thank you alina.

But there is already a Sage Tiger Mount. . .so its been done as well but not to say there isn't a potential upgrade for this version too.

At least I designed my mount by myself, and didn't steal a random picture from the internet.

I'll be checking the thread later.

I'll do what I can.

Thanks.

The details are all inspired by the precious cut of a diamond gem.

It's time for a change. Time to look super cool while afk and travelling.

Well,Pixelheart,since you have an attitude of criticizing others for stealing ideas and conceptions,maybe re-think? You stole the whole mount from game named `Riders Of Icarus` and i mean EVERY SINGLE DETAIL.Of course,you photoshopped some minor details ,so your fraud wouldn`t be noticed,like `erasing` the saddle,and tangling tags,but the rest is just a photocopy of the original mount you are showing as your own idea.And you can`t say `oh I didn`t see it` cause the head is copied to the detail,as well as body frame and all flaming spots.So i think you better lower your attitude,stop stealing other games` mounts and create something truly original.

This mount is STOLEN, copy+paste Artwrok from: http://empire-of-games.ru/art_23671.html

Actually it is from TRON and it is based off the light cycle the file is even named light cycle. It was not stolen because it is a copy of the original light cycle design from the 80's game and when they made it into a movie. The bike is actually what they used in the movie.

Also, I am sure most of these drawings people are just cut and pasting images from other things and putting it in with screenshots of characters and so on. Why are you just sitting there like an old grandpa yelling at his television while he watches sports. Just let people submit what they want because the GMs are kind enough to let us have events like these. Notice that whenever any sort of backlash or drama derives from events they host or give they take away the incentives and prizes that they were giving. Look at what happened with Arigora arena, everyone cried about the top 100 and now season 2 has been delayed and has no prizes.

Think of it from the perspective of the GMs. Lets say you decided hey lets bake cookies for my friends I am sure they will love it. Then all your friends come back and say how terrible the cookies were and how they would rather eat dog doo-doo. Would you want to make cookies again for them?

As the saying goes, "This is why we can't have nice things."

Actually, your stolen entry is a simple 1:1 copy-paste action. You've taken direct artwork from someone else and submitted it as your "ORIGINAL WORK", which is just a lame scam. With so many people here, who have submitted the REAL work and spent many hours and dedication on ther submissions, you've copied something from the internet 1:1 in less than a minute, and now you are even trying to blame others for getting busted? You are just ridiculous!

U are the one who "QQ"'s. We are merely defending our designs.

So here's a cool reference.

1st it was mentioned that i copied it from an unofficial server. But NO unofficial server was posted instead just a name of a car. 2nd was a link of a car photo.

That is like saying ppl who designed their mounts after a Tiger, a Rhino , a lion, a bird or any other animals are not original because they copied how those things look like too.

Sounds like this: "Omg! u are not original because u copied that lion from the lion king/discovery chanel! u just
redraw it!

1st suspected car : Aventador

Hood isnt as smooth as the Aventador, mine has sharp edges.
Bumper is different from an Aventador
Headlights doesn't look like an Aventador
Roof looks nothing like an aventador
Door not like an Aventador


2nd suspected car : Murceilago

Bumper not like the Murceilago
Headlights not like that of a Murceilago
Door and Roof is different from a Murceilago


***More photos were added just to prove that there are plenty other cars that may look like my car but that doesnt mean i copied one.






Here is another Reference tho:



The Body type of my car was from that diamond as well as the edges.

The Roof was inspired by Strike Gundam.

The Door was from a sharks gills.

Bottomline : Post your own creation. If you did, then Goodluck to us. If you are not interested in joining then do not hate on ppl who enjoy these kinds of events.

Copyright laws for those that don't know:

First off, the moment you create ANYTHING visual—paintings, drawings, photographs, sculptures, etc—the only person who is allowed to copy that art is you. If you decide to sell prints of one of your paintings, you can. If anyone else does, without your written permission, you have the right to take them to court and sue for damages.

In fact, copyright laws are so strong that your family or legal heirs will still own the copyright to your artwork until 70 years after your death.

You should also be aware that even after selling an original work of art to a collector, you still hold the copyright to it. The buyer cannot make prints or sell copies of your art unless you’ve given them that express permission in writing.

Common Myths About Artist Copyright:
"I found it on the internet. Doesn't that mean it's public?" Absolutely not. Just because something is published online does not mean it's fair game for anyone to use however they please.

So even if an art work don't have the watermark on it, the person that made it still own the copyright.
But when they have the watermark showing, they can easier take it to court.

But I'm sure PWI will pay attention to this anyway, as they are the ones that will be sued if they use copyrighted art, anyone that profit off it will be the ones to get sued, it's a common knowledge all companies should have.

All that being said, there is some awesome artwork out here and good luck to everyone

I absolutely agree with misskitty19871, PixelHeart ,what part of the `Original Mount` you didn`t understand? It would be like me taking (for example) Mouse Wheeler Mount,re-drawn it with a couple of small changes,and then tried to present it back to them as my original idea ???? Rules were specific about `original`.And all i see is `copy-paste-change a few details`.Oh and you really managed to search internet well in your quest for a better mount.... too bad you got caught for the same thing you preached about to others.

Jesus Christ, I absolutely hate these types of "unoriginal" attack comments.. It's absolutely disgusting that people have to bash people who actually sat down and spent a lot of time on something they created..
If you actually step back and think for a moment, is anything really truly "original"? Do they truly come from nothing prior from anything it was built upon? We build on other people's ideas all the time! If we look back we can trace any idea back to something that inspired us.
I think the Hellborn Vixen was a lovely idea, and drawn very beautifully with a very aesthetically pleasing design.
It also looks absolutely nothing like the images people are accusing of it being ripped off from.

I almost never comment on these types of things, but I really felt this needed to be said.

just went trough all the entries so far and gotta say, pixelheart should win hands down or something is wrong with the community (or lets be honest, the VOTING system..). Really great job on it, impressive.

I appreciate all the positive feedback and the support I'm happy to see people like my mount, but regardless of who wins, I think everyone did a great job with their entries! I've seen a lot of mounts much more creative and complex than mine, and I think PWI is lucky to have such an artistic and resourceful community, there are definitely a lot of great mounts to pick from so I really look forward to seeing the final in-game result ​​
