So, some people here have been kind enough to point this little gem out to me.

This, Boys and Girls, is a competiton entry to Blizzard's World of Warcraft Valentine's Competition ("Love is in the Air").

The Winners can be found here on their Contest Page:

And finally, here is my image:

Now, anyone see anything familiar here?

You're correct.

Back in 2006 I drew an image of Murky, a 'Murloc' creature from World of Warcraft, which I further submitted to their fanart gallery. They appeared to reject the offering for whatever reason. Ok, no big deal, nevermind. Their decision.

But this year, three years later, I am alerted to this image; where you can see a blatantly POOR photoshopping attempt at mashing up three images and adding some text. This, apparently, is "original" enough to win prizes for.


If that isn't adding insult to injury, I don't know WHAT is.

Rant over...

And by the way, I am too furry now to inhabit ths gallery ;)

I don't have much time or inspiration for any art anymore... I am sorry. The little that I do is also furry which isnt that popular.

I thought the murloc looked familiar! I reported the image as well the day the winners were announced because of the troll in the background. It was stolen from Cloud, and I know the person who commissioned the image from him.
Wow, just wow... Sorry this had to happen to you too, hon! >_<

But, our complaints managed to make a difference, though I bet the shithead got his murloc pet anyway. -_-
