I'm gonna mention a few things that's not specifically in defense of the designs, but more of just my observations:

-Tris already has koi tails in a generic U pose. The Nereid was released before there were baseless avi's, and that pose covered the feet. (TBH, I draw mermaid/fish tails like that usually as well. And I usually hate mermaid-like characters and stuff, so you'd know I wouldn't be copying with that.)

-The elf...okay, I know where you're going with that; Coda pointed it out. I should probably mention I've also drawn something extremely similar to many of the items in that DI, for one character.

-Back to the mermaid tail. Crysandrea has a tail that's remarkably similar, but like I said, it's...not that hard to think of something like that >.>
