Just some random looking at Ebay. Is this considered copyright invringment?

Considering they ask that we not post fan art I would imagine the answer would be yes considering how close that is to how the hatching pegasus looks.

yes, even if it is just an innocent thing like this, though I feel like a rat doing it. We try to stop it.

Interesting.
Don’t feel bad. You are a business. Like it or not, you have to protect your livlihood.

I was more curious if it’s a value thing, or just fan art in general.

I don’t see how he looks anything like the hatching pegasus…it looks like a fully grown pegasus with eggs at the bottom of the page…why would this be a Copyright infringement?

Tis different from when it was first posted. You can see the original image in the ebay thumbnail.

Ah-ha! For a minute there, I thought I was losing it.

Makes a lot more sense now. Lovely picture though, too bad it’s infringing.

I will draw windstones for practice… but I won’t post them and/or sell them…

What is it called when you take something in the room and draw it? That is all that it is until you try to make a profit off of it! Then it is WRONG!

I didn’t understand at first either. Thanks, pegasi.
Though I have to say, that person doesn’t know very much about anatomy at all.

That’s changed too now, apparently.

Yeah that has… both were the drawing of a baby peg hatching out of an egg…

That’s strange that you guys are seeing something different for the thumbnail. I’ve hit F5 several times and even Ctrl + F5 to do a hard refresh and I still see the hatching pegasus thumbnail.
