To be honest, I don't see any problem. The comics aren't that similar, and I'm pretty sure HED doesn't own copyright on any of his characters, so... Quite frankly I'd be honoured if somebody took inspiration from my stuff.
Im gonna support both sides here: Retrac's website did honestly look ripped off of The KML, especially with the realities adding on to it. And ALG does look similiar to Krystal story-wise, but not entirely ripped off of though. So only little changes could be applied to ALG to fix that and a complete re-model of the website along with a fix with the realities will do. And even if Hed didnt copyright multiple realities, the way Retrac kind of made it did seem too similiar to Hed's. :S Now, other than these relatively easy-to-fix things, Retrac's gallery, or artstyle in general, doesnt look like Hed's very much. So he isnt a complete rip-off. Retrac still has his style and whatnot. The business with copying stuff, whether its intentional or accidental, is very territorial stuff. We cant ignore Hed's feelings here, imagine if someone you knew looked like they just ripped off of your ideas. Its not a dandy feeling, thats for sure.
So, Im not trying to play the role as the teacher breaking up kids fighting over crayons here (not that im implying that youre fighting) and getting them to say sorry, but despite how stressful and hurtful copying is, in this case its quite easy to fix here. :D So, can both sides be on their merry way with all the bunch Ive just said and fixing things out? I didnt tap the h.ell out of my tap screen for nothin'. :D
^I've already started changing the site up, and the comment about just putting my spark into the comics was a good idea but I can't figure out what that spark is it seems. I'll be staying away from ALG until I figure out what I do best again.

Honestly, I never noticed a resemblance between your art style and HEDROVER's art style.
