Alright. I'm making this journal just to get some stuff off my chest. Because it's bugging me and I can't sleep.
When I made my Sonic character Angel the Hedgehog, I was around the 6th/7th grade. At the time, I never knew what Deviantart was. So I never knew that there were already so many characters that could have been made before me named Angel the Hedgehog AS WELL AS being red with long hair/quills. At first, she was an echinda for like a year. Then it changed to a red hedgehog. That has been her design for almost 6 years now, from the 6th/7th grade all the way till I graduated High School. I do not feel comfortable changing the way/species/color of my character unless it's for a goofy picture. Now that I joined DA, I have seen so many Angel the Hedgehogs that are red, and it makes me think it's my character until I look closely and see it's not. For some reason, it gets me sick to my stomach.
I will say this, I am never going to change my design, I will probably never put up her full TRUE bio, and I swear I will put a watermark all the way across my pictures if I have to keep my Angel mine. Also, if it does come to a point where someday someone tries to use my Angel character and change her clothes or something and tries to say that I stole THEIR character, I will personally take every single picture of Angel I have down from DA, and never post my pictures of her on here again.
This also brings me to the Orphan Laws thing. If that ever passes, then I might as well say goodbye to DA, because I am not having characters that I work hard to create from the bottom of my heart stolen by idiots.
For those who read this, do not take this too seriously. It does not imply to you unless you are someone who has tried to copy/distribute/alter my character.
No I am not acting bitchy, I'm just majorly lacking sleep and someone brought up the Orphan Laws topic in my house, as well as seeing so many pictures of "Angel the Hedgehog" when typed into the search bar.
And for those who think I'm whining or moaning over insignificant stuff, no I'm not. I just am plainly stating my opinion.
I'm a nice person, we're all artists here, be kind and respectful.

Once again, no one has done it of yet, so I am asking kindly to not try it. Or I will find you. I truly am a nice person though!
