Fan art: "2012"

[Mystara]

Certainly this guy should be very wary.

Didn't Tim Child initiate legal action against someone on IMDB for doing something similar?

Reminds me of this thread...

This work was never meant to trick or deceive

And yet a number of us were misled. It's understandable that you would want an air of mystery accompanying your work, but you could at least have messaged the forum Admins and/or Moderators to let them know what was really going on - especially once three had noted their interest and one of those three had politely asked you to provide details, only to be ignored. I admire your artwork but really feel that you could have gone about this better. In my opinion, you shouldn't have waited for the 'game' to be 'up' because there needn't have been a game in the first place. After all, we're a community of fans, not an audience of children at a magic show.

I notice that you put a video on YouTube in which you claim that your first piece 'appeared on the CITV website in June 2011'. If you know that to be untrue, are you not deceiving people by saying it?

wow, tough crowd.

Neil, I don't know whether that remark is directed solely at me, but if so: contrary to being a tough crowd, within my posts I've been as sincerely complimentary of your work as any other poster in this thread. You are free to ignore our questions and concerns but please don't be impolite. It isn't necessary.

Uhm, I don't think Neil was being particularly impolite here - you made, essentially, a speech, outlining the views on the subject, which begged for an answer to it. Neil's answer was a short, jocular remark. It may not exactly have been what you wanted, but I don't think we can really class it as rude.
