So I saw this in a house just now, I didn't pay much attention to the cat face, until it hit me... "wait a minute... isn't that the same face for maplestory's characters... even the character looks so similar". Not sure if it is okay to use similar characters from different games.
These are technically Maplestory's "game faces?"... anyways here...


 

I play maple and that is extremely similar lol.  

is that....bretts house?  

It's inspired by Maplestory I'm sure, but Maplestory doesn't have any legal ownership to mushrooms with faces. If that were the case, there'd be a lot of lawsuits for 'lots of games. - Meaning, no, this isn't copyright.

I wonder where RO got it from, heh. I wonder if the chain goes all the way back to the stone age. Some caveman just randomly drew two dots and a duck face, his name was Aguzor  

remind me of some baddies from gk but I forgot their name
We had mushrooms walking around who were a pain to kill

Lol when I read the title and then saw the pic I thought it was going to be about that looking like a wiener.

I'm surprised people haven't mentioned the fact that the maple story pirate hat was edited yet the original stolen one still appears on the pc loading screen.  

real inspiration
