Dear Community Members,
We write to you in a spirit of transparency and accountability regarding the recent unsettling events linked to Ume, which have deeply shocked and disappointed our community.
Our studio has long upheld a principle of non-criticism towards former clients. However, the persistent disrespect and mistreatment that our artists have tortured from Ume over the past few months compel us to speak out. These actions have taken a toll on our artist mentally.
In person, it is presumed that Ume claimed the artwork as his original character (OC) from the outset on purpose. This suspicion arises from his initial consultation with our studio in DC, during which he presented the contentious artwork as his pfp. Furthermore, the design requirement forms he submitted were wholly based on this image.
Admittedly, after a cursory Google search of the image that yielded no results, and observing its use as pfp across multiple platforms by Ume, we did not suspect any malfeasance regarding its originality. Regrettably, throughout our engagement, Ume frequently breached the terms of service by insisting on minutely detailed and stringent revisions, under the guise of perfectionism. Despite our repeated, well-intentioned reminders about the violation of our terms of service concerning nitpicking, he continued to demand overly meticulous adjustments, emphasizing his critical nature towards artistic work.
Moreover, his specific requests for us to follow exactly the head, hairstyle, and head pieces details from his pfp were clear indications of his intent to base his model on OG artwork.
We deeply regret the creation of this controversial model and extend our profound apologies for the lax oversight of our reference material verification process. Moving forward, we commit to rigorously verifying the origins of all references, especially those pertaining to character designs, ensuring detailed citations and evidence to prevent any forms of plagiarism. DG Studio stands vehemently against all forms of plagiarism and unoriginality. We are dedicated to respecting and protecting the legitimate rights and copyrights of content creators within the community. So now we add more rules in TOS and fields in form for keeping the copyright safe.
Thank you for your listening our statement. We appreciate your understanding and support as we strive to maintain the integrity and creativity of the environment.
