According to Dante hell is already frozen! :lol:
In all seriousness, I think it's really funny that she looks just like your character, but I think it's probably just a coincidence; after all, there are only so many skin and hair color combinations.

*cough* *cough* liek OMG! Parabox totally copied MY cargo pants pattern!!! Not that i'ts teh same or anything... since, mine are ttly original with EIGHT working pockets and belt loops, but I see the similarities. They used the same colors that I did. Which means they copied my unique little snow-flake cargo pants pattern.

I'm surprised that dey dint come out wif dem in black, cuz, that's the color Niko wears most often now. >.>

Proof?

Omi in his ttly awesome khaki cargo pants.

Parabox's blatant copy of Omi's cargo pants.

Az if that wasn't bad enough? They also copied NIKO'S pants! IKR?

Parabox copy.

See? It also has de little tuck in the pockets that all of mine have! NO further proof needed! I should email them and let them know that I think is cool they are copying me, even if they won't admit it. I will suggest that they come out wif the pants in black.

WE won't even go into the copy of my mini-Omi they did. Because only I would think of putting that head on a boy body with that specific wig and eye color.

====================

In other less snark-tastic words... I'm with John on this one. The issue is a nice skin tone (probably hispanic) and pink hair? Marvel wikia has an entire section on their website dedicated to PINK haired characters, it was only a matter of time before more skin-tones appeared on it.

No issue, just something I couldn't help noticing. And I don't think it's "very superficial". To me Darla looks A LOT like Cherry's DAZ model.

I'm not going to scream plagiarism or anything, I still think somebody saw Cherry's FB page. I mean, come on, if it was just a character with pink hair and tan skin, okay. But she's dating Johnny, too? And she popped up out of NOwhere...

Kiki, hon, what's that I smell? Sarrrrcasm? *sniffsniff* :B Seriously, I'm not spazzing or anything, but this isn't the first time it has happened to me, and I just thought it was noteworthy. It's not like Darla's a complete copy of Cherry, but the physical resemblance is unmistakable. To me, it's more than just a coincidence, but it's also a cool thing.

Not meaning to be rude, but I'm not seeing it at all besides the color.... but then comic book art doesn't usually get very detailed or stable with facial features.

That color scheme isn't exactly uncommon between rockstars, teenagers, ganguro and harajuku style for at least the last 10 years.

And Johnny is one of the most common names amongst the English speaking population.

Kiki, ug, it's driving me nuts that I can't think of a particular character that popped up in my head now! I think there was a pink haired girl from the future in Deadpool but i can't remember for sure. Now I feel like I have go to back and read them all again...

Pink hair has gotten very popular of late. Heck, mine was pink for a year.

Not just of late. Ten years back, also had pink hair and brown contact lenses. Just ask Yannyan... Even had the pink hair on my driver's license till I had to renew. Then there was the time I had 'sunset' colored hair. Blond, orange, pink and fuchsia horizontal gradation stripes down my hair. ^.~

>_> yeah, and I don't know if it was a sly nod or a hilarious coincidence that a minor character in one of Kresley Cole's books ended up being named Lamia. (The character was the Goddess of Life, no less :lol: But she really is a minor character who is barely mentioned in one book... one of the main characters in the book was Lamia's sister who was the Vampire Goddess Of Death.)

<_< and the reason I suspect it miiiiiiiight have been a shout-out to little old me? >_> the book it was in was Lothaire's book and I had posted pictures of doll-Lothaire to the Kresley Cole Fanclub on deviantart and also on the official fan forum, which I happen to know she occasionally actually looks at/posts stuff on.

But I'm 99% certain she heard the name somewhere else... like while researching mythical monsters...
I have so many dolls that I can't fit all their names in my signature anymore. @__@
