Copyright Infringement of Hari Raya Illustration
You see, an IDIOTIC DESIGNER copied my artwork and modified it. The thing is, I recently did the work for Hush Puppies and made the cat brown and made stripey pattern to the boy’s sampin. The original one I offered last year for money packet was having black cat and the boy with plain sampin.
Artwork for Hush Puppies
Money packet offered last year for download
You see this copied artwork from Semua House banner:
The chickens are obviously the same as well as the cat!!!! The girl has been modified but you see the pattern on her baju kurung are exactly the same. The ribbon on the girls braided is used as hair decoration (see above) but the color is still the same. As for the boy, the face is the same, The sampin has been modified a bit but the stripes are there and the color of the baju melayu has been changed.
And oh, the texture on the grass, is the same!!!!!!!!!! You see the grass color on Hush Puppies poster are not the same with the grass on the money packet but how come it is the same with the color grass on Semua House’s banner??
So, the copied illustration by Semua House is really a COPY from Hush Puppies poster.
My word to the designer, ” YOU ARE GOING TO PAY FOR THIS!!” IF YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW TO DRAW, GET ANOTHER JOB.”
I have e-mailed Semua House’s corporate department about this matter. See what’s the reply tomorrow and we’ll see who is the designer behind their banner.

marvic

OH MY!! I really hope they get back to you ASAP. What a loser.. dah kena contract to do a design for semua house and all they do is tiru yours. Tak payah kak Emi point out to me the similarities but just tgk ngan mata kasar pun I can say whole heartedly that you were copied.
URGH! I hope this matter gets settled soon and you will be compensated. So angers for you ni!! >.<
emila
I WILL SAMAN!!
Shemah
I agree with maria!!!
emila
thank you shemah for angering for me…ringan sikit bahu.

Uwahhhh another copy cat! Good news is that u might get compensated woot! But bad news is the hassle la to gaduh2 and buat bising pasal this, mmg tak serik2 ke these ppl! Lemme know the outcome, berani semua house copy cat Hush Pups!!!! 🙁
emila
tu la….i am so angry la now. it seems that designer nowadays take things for granted dan ingat semuanya FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. Oh please, my Adobe software is not free, i bought it with hard earned cold cash of 4 figures!!! I am doing legal business but all they know is CILOK orang punya kerja and make money out of it! DUIT HARAM!
Spiffy
Yes, you should sue them big time! I’m anxious to find out their reply.
mazni
Waaah!
Emila, I didn’t know some ppl can be this low. Your saying “IF YOU DONT KNOW HOW TO DRAW, GET ANOTHER JOB!” makes me laugh LOL!
Anyways, I pun tolong marah on your behalf… though marah dalam hati je..tak patut kan? Hermm..
valgalart
gee, it is so blatant!!! terrible, I hope that something will be done about this and I was reading another artist the other day who saw one of her illustrations on a t-shit worn by a danish princess in a magazine or newspaper. She showed the picture of the girl wearing a t-shirt with her stolen image!!! unreal…
emila
OMG, valerie! that is even worst. a princess wearing a tee with stolen image!
emila
hehe mazni, seriously, kalau dah tak boleh draw dan bergantung pada orang lain yg susah payah lukis artwork tu, baiklah tak payah buat kerja-kerja design. sampai bila nak curi gambar orang dan makan hasil tu?
emila
yes, of course. i am anxious too.
Jiji
I’ve seen the poster !! i tot u did for them too. ouch!
Jiji

Kepala sama but diff body.
Agak2 budak perempyan tu dia lukis sendiri or entah2 rembat siapa2 punya kepala? hehe
MiM
actually i saw the big poster at Hush Puppies in Megamall. i immediately recognised your work. my first thought was to inform you thinking it was a copyright violation. thank god i saw your signature below.
sorry to hear about this though
Nessa
oh no! Not again. I feel your pain and anger, Emila :(:(:(
emila
exactly nessa. it’s heart paining to see my work being copied by some stupid #*s.
emila
thanks mim! i gave hush puppies the right to use for 60 days (just ended after hari raya) and copyright is all mine. the signature is part of the licensing deal.
emila
sharkox, i bet he/she ciloks the body from somebody else’s artwork. dia modifiied sikit2 so that people cannot sue and in my case, the chicken and cat are still exactly the same as well as the grass. i akan cari ke lubang cacing who is responsible. they need to be taught a lesson; there’s no short-cut in designing. it starts with hard work, not simply stealing other people’s work.
emila
salam encik zul, begitulah nampaknya. terimakasih diatas simpati.
emila
that is why lah lj, i am fed-up already to see these leeches!
emila
thanks faridah.
emila
thanks jiji, i will.
emila
see, from one look people can tell it’s my work, my characters even though the idiot try to cover it up by modifying the illustration.
Bain
X habis2 lagi meniru/copy kak Emi punya design. Mmg nak kene ajar dorang ni kak Emi.
emila
