According to concept artist Sail Lin, he created the dog-headed soldier’s design over two years ago. For this he delivers via Twitter Proof images that will be on the online portfolio website in 2019 ArtStation show uploaded design:

“I am the original artist that the upcoming CoD Vanguard Samoyed skin was plagiarized from. While I’m also a CoD player, I’m very disappointed that my work is being plagiarized in this way by a large company like Activision.”

“I have asked Activision for an explanation and/or compensation and hopefully the situation will resolve soon. As an artist in my own right, that’s all I can do and I need to address this issue so things like this don’t happen in the future.”

Raven Software has removed the Medical Samoyed skin from its website in response to the allegation. A blog post and tweets promoting the operator have been adjusted or deleted.
