Really cool, love the colour choices and the animation is well done overall. Looks like it could be put straight into a game.

It looks nothing like your piece except it is a living chest. Not an orignal idea either.

@Maxiwell given the different palette, perspective, dimensions, timing and overall design of the two mimics, we are not inclined to view this piece as infringing upon yours in any way.

That both pieces depict a mimic chest is not terribly relevant, given that the mimic archetype is at least 40 years old, and the text of the challenge references mimics directly.

if in the future you feel that your work has been ripped or stolen, please report the piece to the moderators instead, rather than commenting directly and publicly on the piece, which can cause unintended grief.

You don't own the idea of a mimic, also that's basically the challenge, please don't go around saying people stole your idea, his piece is completely original and fine.
