A comparison chart given by "The Painter in Time and Space"
"Painted Traveler in Time and Space" shouted: "Bao, the last time your new product used other people's materials, you said it was a supplier's problem, this time it is also well, make so much money to ask a designer who will be original, I look at it with pain!" ”
A visual design practitioner told Yin persimmon financial reporter: "The two posters do have similarities in overall color and design, and if the material involves commercial use, it faces the risk of infringement and being claimed." ”
For the publication of "The Painter in Time and Space", as of press time, there is no official reply from "Glory of kings".
However, the silver persimmon financial reporter found that a company called full-speed network said to the above incident: "Our company has noticed the network discussion of the page design, and on April 14, the column announcement map designed by our company for the glory of the king may have similar situations with other product announcement maps, and the company is urgently investigating the actual situation of the design creation, and will make a complete explanation as soon as possible." ”

It is reported that full speed provides perennial design services for Tencent Games, including dungeons and warriors, paradise 2, QQ flying cars and other games, and design services include H5 design, game scene/character original painting design, and event publicity design.
