Call of Duty: Warzone’s good boy samoyed skin might not be so good as artist alleges plagiarism
An artist has alleged that an upcoming Call of Duty: Warzone skin has copied an older piece of art of theirs.
As spotted by Polygon, Warzone has recently caused a bit of controversy over a skin that has potentially plagiarised the work of artist Sail Lin. Earlier this week (July 27), Raven Software shared the patch notes for season four of the battle royale which showed an upcoming skin of a Samoyed for operator Kim Tae Young.
However, Lin took to Twitter to point out just how similar this upcoming skin looks to a piece of their work that they shared to ArtStation in 2019. And they wrote that they believe their work has been plagiarised by Activison, saying that they have reached out to Activision asking for an explanation as to why this happened.
Warzone dog skin leads to accusation of plagiarism by artist
A new Call of Duty Warzone dog skin included in season 4 of the battle royale game is the subject of controversy as an artist accuses Activision of plagiarising a design they created two years prior. The ‘Loyal Samoyed’ skin, introduced as part of the ‘Floof Fury’ tracer pack, replaces the head of operator Kim Tae Young with that of the giant, fluffy pup breed.
Concept artist Sail Lin claims that the skin, which also sports a black and white patterned scarf and blue camo clothing, closely resembles a design called ‘Samoye Medical’ that they uploaded to Artstation in December 2019. They posted comparison shots on their Twitter account, along with a statement about the situation.
“I am the original artist that the upcoming CoD Vanguard Samoyed skin was plagiarised from,” writes Sail Lin, “Even though I am a CoD player, I am very disappointed to see my work being plagiarised by a big company like Activision in this way.” They say that they have reached out to Activision to seek “an explanation and/or compensation.”
