You're not kidding - I keep a close eye on the content that we make on this site and people just like GCW to see how quickly it takes for them to offer it for sale on their website. I also do searches on Youtube/ Google to see if there is any other hustlers out there trying to make a buck off of other people's work and here's another offender:

I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way, but the covers I've posted on this site were not intended for ANYONE to sell. I'd like all of the covers I've posted on this site taken off GCW's site. I've read Snowcone's thread about the final word on people selling covers and it sucks that there isn't really anything we can do about people like GCW, but I completely understand why.

Go look at her pathetic blog.  Wait, I'll just post it...




--- Quote ---A hostile, jealous member of their forum (who apparently has a small clique of followers) scanned in and redistributed the original artwork

I'm actually in tears over this!  "Jealous"?!  Bwahahahahhahahaha!  Yes, I'm jealous that I can't create something this amazing!



I'll take my "small clique".  It beats the hell out of NO clique :P



--- Quote ---I guess you have to do that when you steal from someone to make it acceptable
--- End quote ---

This isn't a quote from your slanderous blog, it's your business model :)



--- Quote ---not realizing we’re a vital part of the community that PROVIDES scans
--- End quote ---

OMG, I'm gonna have to quote like every sentence.  You don't do a damned thing for this site save for bringing unwanted attention.



--- Quote ---I even contributed financially to the site that ripped off my original artwork on purpose.  The member behind this most notably posted a recent thread on how he wanted very young women and would have gotten some photos of their hotness if his wife hadn’t been there.  Since my daughter is 15 I thought it was sickening and if this Hutt like creature leered at her I’m sure I wouldn’t put up with it.

Where I come from this is known as slander.  Don't go making a case against yourself now.



--- Quote ---He let his imagination run wild and tried his best to improvise graphic design knowledge such as the great ‘water test’ (FYI Wiggy, Ink Jet inks are water soluble because they are ink injected into the paper.  Laser Jet like you use, aka Kinkos uses a “melted wax” technology, which is why they can afford to be cheap – they’re not using ‘ink’ in the sense we think of it.  That is also why they get hot and can’t print at a high DPI – enough of the lesson Wiggy – except Kinkos could never use paper of the poundage we use, it would be too hot – LEARN a bit if you’re going to slam a designer.)
--- End quote ---

No, dye-based inks are water-soluble, and pigment-based are not.  Do a little reading up on the subject, mmm-kay?  Where did you get your degree, or are you self-taught?  That would actually explain a lot, like that Excitebike cover up top.



--- Quote ---Even though his are free we refuse to use them because they’re horrible.
--- End quote ---

Don't be jelly.  I know it's tough being trying to make it when you're not very talented.



--- Quote ---So there you go Wiggy the Hutt – if your life is fulfilling stealing and ripping apart someone else’s hard work it’s only because you will never hope to achieve anything you can be proud of for yourself.

(no need for a reply to this one, too good on its own)



Arseen, gonna clean this POS up right now.  Could have had a better scan if the original wasn't such shite :/
Azarkhel:
This thread got so awesome so quickly.

EDIT: Sweet Clock Tower cover thievery GCW, I'm sure PAN of Timewalk Games would be really thrilled to see you selling his alternative box art on your site. Do unto others...

--- Quote from: GCW on August 30, 2012, 04:37:47 PM ---Wow, you're really rude and I'm sorry you feel that way about my original fan art cover. 
I can't help if you don't understand my business,
We have a policy and I'll restate it for the record:  ANYONE who does not want us to use their scan can e-mail us to take it down. 
We have talked to a ton of people on here and I know you don't want to hear this but they don't hate us.

I would be EXTREMELY pissed off if something I ordered looks worse than how I can print it.  Did you even LOOK at the comparison shots?  The cover he got in the mail looks like SHIT.  I would demand a refund.  18 years graphic design my ass.  I can do better with only 6 months under my belt, and it's just from messing around with photoshop!

So your business model is to create covers for people, and print them out on the shittiest paper in the world?  How are you still in business....?

Why would we have to EMAIL you to take down our scans?  Why do WE have to initiate it?  That is exactly what Wiggy is doing, INITIATING THE CONFRONTATION OF YOU SELLING OUR "FREE" COVERS.

We never said that people hate you, you're just soo f***ing pathetic it's not funny

Will somebody take GCW's shovels away before they dig themselves to China?
