Anyone recognize these pictures?

[LakotaWolf]

Hiya I hope this is in the right forum... many apologies if not >_<

Anyway, I saw someone selling these adoptables on another website, and the first thing everyone screamed was "KOUGRA"... the person insists they're not based on Kougras... but anyway.

I feel as though I have seen these on Neopets before, being given out as adoptables. Does anyone recognize them or know the original artist? Thanks

I have most definitely seen them before - if I remember right, and I probably do, it was on lookups and shop fronts mixed in with faeries and dolls. Never bothered clicking on them, but I always thought they were Kougras of some sort?

Oi. The maker of those adoptables need to be reported... they drew right over the pictures from Suta Raito....

EDIT:

i think so anyway... they look exactly like Suta Raito art, but maybe i should bite my tounge... i went off to look for the original but couldnt find it... perhaps im mistaken....

I'd e-mail the person who does the art for that site and ask if its theirs just to rule them out. It could be something that was replaced with a newer image.

It does look familiar. Reminds me of some Subeta pets more than a Kougra though.

Reminded me more of the pixel art of lizzyjun like
at http://www.neopets.com/~Byakko_7

I'll see if I can find it

Perhaps asking the members of some of the bigger art guilds mght yield some results? Many would know the style of their fellow guild members and might be able to point one in the direction of the original artist...

Oh, and they do look painfully familiar.

They weren't part of that "Vote for the new Kougra look" poll, were they? That's what I thought of when I saw them... *shrugs*

Hm... I say let the real artist know what, where and when, and let them deal with it the proper way. ^^ I hate it when people steal stuff...
