SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/ANN): In the latest twist to Singapore's Covid-19 superhero drama, the creator of the ill-fated Virus Vanguard has quit the community artist group he founded as rumours swirl online that he may have plagiarised the work of other artists.
The Gov.sg public campaign was taken down abruptly from Gov.sg's website and Facebook page on Monday just a day after its launch, seemingly in response to widespread public criticism.
The Vanguard is the product of a collaboration between Gov.sg and local artist group Band Of Doodlers . "As such, I hope that BOD will not be associated with . BOD has been about inclusivity and collaboration and I am so very proud of how it has grown," he wrote. Local pop culture and gaming news site Geek Culture published an article on Tuesday highlighting how Internet users had found some of the Virus Vanguard character designs to be almost identical with the work of other artists.
