Xen, I am inquiring about "your" art. It seems that it has somehow disappeared after Link and I commented on how similar it looked to this stuff http://www.interplay.com/bgate2/conceptart.html from interplay. Infact it looks so similar that I think me and Link got it right, I think that you copied and pasted from there, isnt that a breach of copyright? This kinda thing pisses me off you know, and I dont have a clue why you did it. But anyway, I think you owe everyone an apology for your deceit?

Just incase some members dont really believe me or whatever, Il post them a link to your gallery, oh and dont bother deleting it aswell, that is just getting lower and lower. http://wagi.deviantart.com/

Take a look for yourself everyone, tell us what you think, I think xen picked the right art page, I mean Deviant art, Deviant, seems to tie in well with the man

I recognised it immediately for the concept art of BG2, and it pissed me off as well. I think he not only owes us, but also the art designers of Interplay/Black Isle Studio/Bioware a big apology for acting as if the drawings were all his.

And Xen: at least have the guts to admit you did it. It makes you even more a coward if you don't even try to defend yourself (as if you can :rolleyes: )

EDIT: Friggin hell man! You're the lamest person I know! Why the hell did you delete the topics??! [img]graemlins/madhell.gif[/img]

yeh Link I think he owes Interplay an apology too, I was gona say that, but I edited it out of my post, but Xen that really is stupid!

Link 02-22-2004 01:33 PM

My big deal with this whole matter is that he deleted the threads as soon as you and I commented on where he got his 'art' from. If you're really that kind of man, stand up for yourself and admit you were trying to be cool. [img]graemlins/1disgust.gif[/img]

RoSs_bg2_rox 02-22-2004 01:35 PM

well not as soon as. I posted after you and a few other people noticed it I think, and yeh, I agree with you Link, its just "uncool" to delete all your threads.

Surely that is obvious? ;) I didn't see the thread but did he actually say that he created the art?

RoSs_bg2_rox 02-22-2004 01:38 PM

yes he did, he called it his "gold" something or other

Enough of this cyberkicking. Your points have been made.

It's now down to Xen to reply (if he cares to).

I'll try and dig it from my cache, but yes, he was. In fact he was questioned on how long it took and claimed it took him only a few hours, specifiying the mind flayer in particular.

EDIT]

OK, twas the Beholder in particular.

Well it depends. If I am really concentrated you could say an hour. If I am not and make a lot of mistakes and have to erase a lot of things an hour and half to two i think. I was drawing the Beholder for two hours and a little more for example.

Hmm that's pretty cheeky then, taking someone else's work and claiming it as your own. If a mature adult did this it'd be plagiarism and very cheeky but if I recall correctly, Xen's just a kid and he doesn't know about the exact rules and stuff on this so let him know about it then send him on his way [img]smile.gif[/img]
