I certainly have seen several submissions in all the contests that were blatantly ripped off of existing other characters...
It’s almost like Team Ninja recognizes brain dead designs, oh well, I like your costume but the face piece isn’t my style.which boggles my mind how did that 15 minute catwoman rip off christie of mine make it into the top 10? like i know it may be weird that im ripping my own design but literally no thought went into that. i was like "haha egyptian catwoman christie cause shes an assassin lawl" and submitted it and its like...6th(?) place? versus my rig design i put like 3 days into.
like cool that it won, but really?
its still like they're breaking their own rules in a way idk.
I'm not blaming the designer. You don't find it strange and unprofessional that they'd pick the same design from the same artist, when there were a lot of other artists who made different and creative designs?I think you guys misinterpret The design must be original works and not copies of existing designs rule.
When I read the rules back then it was immediately clear to me that they meant not violating copyright rules, like giving Christie an Elsa of Frozen design or dressing Leon as Super Mario. That's an important rule to establish, because Team Ninja can get into big trouble if they do not realize a submitted design is violating copyright rules.

Who cares if a designer copies his own gnome design, lol?
Are Ayane fans happy this year ?
I had the same feeling when my bat la Mariposa wonwhich boggles my mind how did that 15 minute catwoman rip off christie of mine make it into the top 10? like i know it may be weird that im ripping my own design but literally no thought went into that. i was like "haha egyptian catwoman christie cause shes an assassin lawl" and submitted it and its like...6th(?) place? versus my rig design i put like 3 days into.

By the way, someone found the winning entry of Alpha-152 on Twitter:
Woah, I wouldn't go that far. TN has picked winners since 2015 and they don't go for easy to model or renderr costumes, some costumes they've made you wouldn't have expected since they have alot of fabric and elements you wouldn't think they'd bring to life, yeah textures suffer and there's clipping but still they don't necessarily go the lazy pathOk, you guys are forgetting a heavy important detail here.
Since now is TN picking the winners, their criteria will probably include something like:
-How cheap/easy is to model that costume.
I don't like to say that Team Ninja is uncreative, they have some of my favorite designs ever, but they clearly don't want to put that much effort into making these costumes.
"Hey, we did pirate girl last year, and this year there is a cool pirate design for the other girl, let's pick that and cut some effort" is what i think happens in their process, sure, they'll will pick really great stuff like the Tina, or the Hayate design, but overall, when you see a certain trend, you can see they're probably just cutting the creation of new assets.
And guess who inspired who: Bastet or Catwoman?
There is no shame about taking inspiration from real or imaginary stuff.
Batman/Batgirl belongs to our collective psyche and the world of fiction: the Phantom, Zorro, Da Vinca's drawings and vampires fantasies. That's how creations work. You take good stuff and improve/adapt it to another context. It has been this way for centuries.
That’s the joke, you notice there’s a green and a white version? Broccoli and cauliflowerJeez why couldn't it be broccoli, afro as a joke haircut always gets on my nerves. How about a stupid bowl haircut that drips soup and carrots. -_- hmph!
None of them that I’ve seen are happy about itAre Ayane fans happy this year ?
