However, Guy Fawkes is such an outstanding person in English culture I felt I could take artistic licenses where I wished, and bring a very distinctive mask my own Siyulicious flava. Plus it's just so darn fun to walk around wearing it!!" - From <a href="http://masklady.blogspot.com/2008/01/remember.html" rel="nofollow">In Quintum Novembris</a> on the creator's blog. The object of concern was not created with the intent to directly draw out of <strong>the</strong> <em>V for Vendetta</em> series, nor is it an exact copy if you compare the two designs- the mustache and eyebrows in both film and print are sharper and more linear, while this virtual interpretation is curved. There is also a distinct difference in in the amount of pink used on the cheeks and lips. There is also no black-out option for the eye holes. It's understandable such a cynic remark would be tossed in, considering all the emotions that have been tossed about. I know I've also seen on multiple occasions creations that look eerily similar but they are original works. The matter boils down to research and understanding what is copying and what is inspiration. The details presented may be minor to some, but with popular figures, it does make a difference. I'm also sure that if any rights holders of <em>V</em> would notify the creator, as the rights holders of Frank Sinatra's name <a href="http://masklady.blogspot.com/2009/07/today-i-received-my-first-notice-of.html" rel="nofollow">contacted her</a> to change the title of one of her hats. Again, it's all in how you handle things- acting gracefully without jabbing into others. Now if "we all" could work that way... “Normally I have a policy against making masks that are a part of a character, or pop culture, since I prefer my own original designs (plus, let’s not forget, avoiding copyright violations).
