The Amy model was stolen from an +18 Artist

It appears that Amy Rose's model was stolen from an 3D +18 Artist and never was credited:

Ian Flynn confirmed Sonic characters don't have canon ages
sega also removed age from all the sonic characters bios on sonic channel as well.

She still acts like a kid and has kid proportions tho.

They have intended ages but the problem is like most fictional characters they don't age. Sega can take this new direction and have characters mature all they want and Sonic, Amy, and Knuckles can easily be written in to be adults at this point and not physically change but Tails is a kid and its hard to write around that unless they change him, same with Cream.

Sega tried to age them a bit but that game was Sonic 2006 so...

I wouldn't say it was to age them, my guess its because they tried to take a more realistic approach with body proportions and motion capture animation and they end up looking like Power Rangers or Super Sentai.

I think the best job they did at trying to age them up is Sonic Boom but Tails is still small to fit the usual cast silhouette,

lmao what

Either way, the artist could make good models I'm sure that the design still belongs to Sega and even if they made something close to her official design it's still something that belongs to Sega.

Since when did Ian own Sega's characters?

Ian was made one of several lore masters for sonic games by sega. So he has a big say in what is canon now.

She doesn't really act like a kid in Sonic Frontiers, The Murder of Sonic, Sonic Forces, Sonic Lost World, and Sonic Boom. All of the characters have similar proportions and most of them were minors before Sega decided to make their age ambiguous or open for interpretation while the only characters that are clearly child-coded would be Tails, Cream and Charmy.

That doesn't mean anything, and I don't think they even attempt to age any characters there.

That's not the point, the contractor was complaining about the lack of credit.
It's not whether Sega owns the model or not, which they do because they ordered it.
Even if you own the design of a character, that doesn't give you the right to own (or seize) every custom model of your character. You only own the design, not the model.

The character ages were stupid anyway.

The only character that acted their age was like Cream the Rabbit.
