I guess this was the so called stolen Manev print?



A lot of prints to throw away

Count me in as one of the whiny -----es then. If you have real talent, then draw! Don't copy someone else and not give credit where it is due.

What she said. It's a nice print though and I'm sure it's not the first time it's happened. I'd say someone probably contacted Bradstreet and he probably contacted Mondo. Cannot say I feel any sorrow for Mondo.

Were you actively complaining at Expressobeans? I know you agree with the cancellation, but it doesn't mean you're a "whiny b!tch".

Anyway, I still don't understand how Manev can be accused of not having talent or that he simply copied. I see where he used the pose and the shadows of the face, but the rest came from him. I don't see an Engineer image lying around out there like this one. I don't see the holographic display from Prometheus being used on a poster like it is here.

What I see is an artist who saw a good pose and ambiance that thought would work really well for a Prometheus image. He was right, cuz it looks awesome. Now those interested won't get to enjoy that vision because the self entitled douche bags over at Expressobeans feel they need to criticize and scrutinize every piece of art that hits the market. And no I don't think Bradstreet would have been owed anything had this been released. I don't see his Punisher on the poster, I see a Prometheus print.

I'm not a fan of the practice. I won't pretend to know how photoshop or some of these other programs work but it does look like he just used the exact image and then manipulated it until in became a Prometheus print. Look at the face. He didn't even bother changing the facial structure. It still looks like Thomas Jane and I'm pretty sure he wasn't in that movie.

I'm not denying Manev's talent. I just find this kind of stuff lazy and wrong.
