Lol clearly this dude has never looked at any kickstarter projects other than the ones Crobblets points at and commands him to back.

Yeah, because KS has a staff who's only job is to check EVERY image on EVERY KS for the chance of outright theft. Also, they check every sentence for plagiarism.

And they have a staff dedicated to monkeys flying out of my rear end too.

All that glitters is not gold.
Can't believe that these guys are going on full defense mode and saying it's perfectly acceptable to do it.. and these "parody" excuses. What in the actual gently caress.

Yes, I can understand quick concepts put together for internal use or for further inspiration but NOT when it's being used to promote stuff or campaign for money!

I know it's all too common of a practice when it comes to artwork but it doesn't make it acceptable. It might be an unfortunate fact but that doesn't make it acceptable.
And I can guarantee that Archer would throw a fit if someone claimed credit for his "artwork" in money-begging campaign. Oh it's only a parody when you do it?

The image is from Pathfinder which is published by Paizo, but I have no idea how the DnD/WoTC/Paizo/Hasbro stuff goes

:eng101: Pathfinder is a company that makes a D&D derivative product under the Open Gaming Licence, and while they used to be associated with WotC/Hasbro, they aren't any more. The OGL legality is complicated, but Paizo have copyright on all strictly original content and artworks - in other words, the character and art ripped off. They can sue, WotC/Hasbro can't.

It makes me wonder how much other stuff Ryan Archer has ripped off

like this for example



is almost the exact same spaceship position as this, posted on archer's official artstation page



both are official art but dollars to donuts the background layer on the second image is ripped off from somewhere else, unfortunately it's been run through enough lovely photoshop filters that it's difficult to find a match

Look at the exploding planet earth one. Looks like a match to me if you rotate the image a bit, and make it blurry.
