I know its probably gonna be hard to believe, but I will tell you anyway. There's this user on FA named sugarmable. Oh, well, it's kinda of a long story, but i'll tell you anyways. See, couple of years ago, When I was still learning more about the furry fandom, I found out about babyfurs. So this got me thinking about drawing some. This was before I started drawing other characters, like brenda. So I was drawing other kinds of species of animals as babyfurs, One of them was chinchilla and the other was a badger. When I finished drawing them, I kinda lost interest in drawing them soon, but I kept them in a safe place where I would never lose them, there that's when I started drawing brenda later on. And shortly after I formed my FA(RayLee), I started to search around to see what was cooking, that's when I found this user named sugarmable, and she had two characters that looked similar to the first two babyfur drawings I drew, its names were darla and dallas. At first, I didn't know about that, then later, my memory came back and quickly took out those two drawings from my portfolio, and then I was shocked to see another user draw the exact same characters as mine(They were unnamed, but I sorta remember that I named one of them lucy, not sure which one, though). Anyways, Not only I was shocked, but I felt kinda pissed, I couldn't help it, I was gonna report her to the admins about, but they would think I would be lying or something, so I just kept it secret. But I was still dissapointed about it, but I couldn't blame sugarmable about it, I figured she'd just created the characters without knowing that I created them first. And if I tell her about it, she'd think I'd be lying too. I know it's probably mere coincidence, but I still think it's unfair for using characters I created first, even if the person doesn't know it. So, I thought you could help me out on this, if you don't mind. I'm already getting help from some friends of mine, but you can still come on board if you want, it be more support.
Anyways, here are the original drawings that I mentioned, but the pictures I taken of them are recent. They have a VERY different style, since this was shortly before I joined FA.(I had old account named hachistudioscoltd.) Also, I tried my best to keep them in good shape, but ended getting wrinkled, had some water spilled on, and even some parts ripped.(As you see in one of my drawings.)
Here they are:
