So I jumped on DeviantART and send a E-mail to rpeterclark making him aware that I was going to make a Visual Style and suite with a very similar style, and colour-scheme. Days later, No responce.
Oh well... Screw that, got to it. |
You DO realize that if your work is going to be so similar to another's to the point of emailing him...it's not about 'making him aware', but about 'gaining consent'...and 'no response' means 'no go', not 'screw that'.
If the works are derivative, aka a 'port' then they would not be acceptable for public distribution without prior written consent....that goes for here and/or other public skinning sites.
This being the case it may be appropriate to clarify exactly what extent of 'similar style' is not derivative or copying of another's work....
