Ugh his writing style is so awful! I had to read this line about 3 or 4 times before I made sense of what he was trying to say.

LIKE WHA- THE WHOLE THING! Ughhh it hurttsssss
The whole comic is a mess, but this is some next level autism.
 
The original page for comparison. Chris only added the Luvdisc line and changed the date to be consistent with Idea Guy lore - everything else is copied from Trickie.

(i) I love the way that he keeps using ALOL all of a sudden, like some 80-year-old grandma who's just learned about the Internet. Or perhaps he thinks that it stands for Awesome Lot Of Loving?

(ii) Interesting that he chooses to keep Trickie's line about how crap that 'heartsweet' bit is.
 
I think that Trickie's gone on record as saying that she isn't really bothered about what Chris does with Rosechu's Story. I doubt that she'd bother suing him.

EDIT: yup. See Second Missing Primarch's post on page 2. All that Trickie wants is that Chris gives her due credit. She's not worried about money.

It’s so weird to see a Sonichu comic where a pair of legs/arms are the same size, characters can sit without having their legs seemingly torn from the socket, and limbs aren’t thin as a straw in one panel, only to suddenly swell up and be wider than the torso in the next panel...

The lazy fuck seriously traced every single panel, didn’t he?

But why? I doubt he can tell how much better it is than his usual preteen-tier doodles, so just laziness?

Well actually, I believe that Trickie specifically said that she’s ok with it: “As long as he doesn’t trace my work and credits me”.

Did Trickie ever find out that Chris shat all over her wishes, and that 90% of the comic is him (poorly) tracing her work?

But the main thing is that I can't bring myself to really care, even if Christine sells them for money, so long as she's giving me credit for the work I've done.

I just don't have the mental energy to police what she does with the comic beyond that, and I definitely don't have the energy to deal with all the people messaging me about my comic being ripped off and how I should sue or some other such thing. Letting Christine use my work for inspiration costs me nothing.

Seems pretty definitive to me. She specifically says that she also doesn't care if Chris rips it off. The Trickie Sues Chris Saga just ain't gonna happen.

I've told Chris that I'm okay with her referencing my art, but not tracing it. It might seem like a distinction without a difference, but tracing is very different from referencing. Tracing is where you overlay an image onto a piece of paper and simply copy the lines, it takes very little effort or thought and you're less likely to improve your art skills while doing so. When you reference something, that means you're taking the time to study the shapes and forms of the original piece and then try to replicate it on paper with your own skill. This is what art students do when they're doing still life drawings for practice, they're not just looking at the objects they're trying to draw, they're studying them, noting the relationships between the individual forms, where they "connect", where the highlights and shadows are, etc.

This isn't to say that I'm under the impression that referencing my art (of all things) will help her improve hers. Optimally, you would also be learning things like stroke techniques and realistic human anatomy on top of still life drawings (not to mention techniques specific to comics, composition, the 180 rule, etc), they're ultimately supposed to help you learn to construct images in your mind's eye and transfer them to paper, but if Chris can effectively replicate my art without tracing it, then I'm fine with it.

Now, I haven't gone full photoshop detective in comparing her art to mine, so I can't say for sure that nothing's traced, but nothing has really jumped out at me so far. It's kind of subtle, but when something is traced, even if the lines are sloppy, the proportions should roughly match up when you overlay one on top of the other.

Again, if you can find anything in her pages that's been directly traced from my art please let me know, because I would have a problem with that.

Also, suing Chris sounds like the least fun way to get doxed...

If he sells this, the writer can sue for the profit, and small claims court requires no lawyers.

Might not be a smart move when the work in question features characters belonging to two big game companies, and one of these companies is notoriously protective over it's intellectual property.

Thank you for clarifying this. I doubt Chris will do any actual tracing, because that'd require him to either switch to drawing digitally or at least purchase some slightly transparent paper. And the thought of adapting new tools or trying to improve as an artist is so terrifying and uncomfortable to Chris that he's refused to do it for 20 years. He still colors with crayons ffs.

It was pretty nice of you to not discourage Chris from copying your work though. If he actually manages to learn a couple new things from this endeavour, then you've successfully played a part in an almost impossible task - helping Chris to actually improve in some aspect of his life.
 
Chris using Rosechu’s Story as a reference is pretty cool actually. Even though it’s Chris and all, it’s a whole lot better than Sonichu #14 in terms of art. It’s cool to see Chris doing a slightly more expressive artstyle!

HAHAHAHAHA

in all seriousness though people in this topic literally can't tell the difference between your pages and chris's

@The American Hedgehog keeps posting sonichu pictures and confusing them with yours, chris is literally just changing out the text

@Incognito Mode chris's earliest works were flat-out traced (badly but traced), learn your christory please
