You can see clearly his style of painting the using of color is totally random. Some look like leventep,mandryk,dylan cole etc. All is coming from big artists, I dont think a game company will get easily scammed.
I have seen a few nasty cases of this come across my desk, One of the more concerning ones was, another team at the studio i then worked for had just signed an outsourcing studio based on a particular art test. I just happened to view said test a few weeks later and it was pretty obvious where most of the test had come…
Well his website is taken down, although his DA is still up... I guess that's a great start :) Until he has the humility to come forth and apologize and so on (even if it's insincere), I say have at thee.
@Nitewalkr: I guess you're right.. it's that it's a pity that it had to come to this.

Fook all you haters!" deserves to be burned at the stake. The totally repentant former art stealing heretic, "I just…
Dont be a fool. If he did not say it was ok just dont do it. No need to bring any kind of drama to yourself when there are thousands of other concepts out there. What good can you see coming out of using his concept when he dosnt want you too? Furthermore what was the point in asking him if you could use his concept if you…
Well I'm still in discussion about it with the artist. My problem is that he wants me to give him money to LICENSE his art to produce a 3D model from it. I think I would be willing to pay a reasonable price, maybe a couple hours freelance wage, as that's how long I think it took him to produce his image. But this is NON…
