Y'alright?

My cartoon me

I had this image of me made for my by a guy on DigitalPoint, and for a cheap price of $30. The only problem I have with it is how much it looks like Tyler Cruz! I wonder if I could actually get in any trouble for the similarity?? If it turns out that I could, I’ll simply have the face redone, which wouldn’t cost much I imagine. This guy’s gonne be incorporated into my custom theme that’s being made for me. Here he is ( I am).

lol that’s definitely tyler cruz with less of a tan :smile:

i’ve compared them side by side and there are suttle change such as the right eye shape and angle of smile, ear, plus the shadow and skin colour.

i doubt tyler will be happy if/when he finds out but it’s not really something you could take to court and win imo :roll:

Yeah, I’m certainly not pleased obviously. However, the fact that you made a post pointing this out and linking back to my site, coupled with the fact that it wasn’t you who designed it puts the onus of guilt on the designer and not you.

So unless you told the designer to produce a similar clone of my logo/cartoon, you should be asking for a revision as it appears that he really did just do a facelift of my image…
