First and foremost I owe JJ Ying my most sincere apology.

I originally saw JJ’s skin on another web site under a different name and wanted to use the color scheme. But the skin soon turned out to be the same, and I didn’t really see anything wrong with it at the time. To the eye, its impossible to see any real difference.

The skin I produced for PA was more than similar to JJ’s and I now realize that my actions and decisions were wrong. JJ is better than most people and I do appreciate his patience and understanding in all of this.

As of current we have come to an agreement where we are both happy and the skin I created will under go numerous changes (currently in progress) amongst other things.

JJ. I do apologize for everything. You are a good person and I hope the good things in life find you well. Thanks for working with me to resolve this.

Whatever it is, it's still wrong to copy someone's original idea over, especially for competitions. Even if you do gain the credit, does it make you feel good? won't you feel the least bit guilty or remorseful?
I believe originality still prevails when it comes to judging on your competition works.

Be thankful JJ didnt make this matter big. His generosity is commendable.
And yea, maybe you should have just apologized earlier so that people won't have the initial idea that you're just a loser who copies people's work.
Glad the issue's solved.

Well, keep up the good work everyone
