Did this guy rip off the Fins customs?

Look at these Chipcos! Either Fins got his inspiration from these chips or they have ripped off his design.

They're pretty close... too close for comfort. But keep in mind that many of Patrick's designs look similar, at least in style. I know that Fins' idea of the card faces inside the clover were uniquie to his chips, but as for the rest? I'll wait to hear from Fins or Dave from HPC.

I think it is funny that Fins may have been inspired by them, or the other guy ripped them off. Why couldn't the other guy have been inspired?

Seriously, there are just many elements in those and Fins that are seen many times in HPC customs in general. I think many parts of the chip are common elements that the HPC designer uses when they are working with someone that doesn't have an exact idea of what they want.

I thought that, but there are so many common design elements that I think it just came down to designer. No big deal, besides, Fins are 1000 times better than those.

Point made, Lumpy. I was indeed showing bias in the way I wrote that post. Apologies.

No apologies necessary. It just struck me funny.
