..... I am very sorry to learn that you have become as angy with me as
you are right now... I do not know what I have done to make you feel
this way, but I can understand that it has everything to do with my
drawings...
The drawing I have made and posted here on the S-AMA group (With the
Trio -> Copyright James M. Hardiman) was a pic I made as a tribute to
HIM and his art... Yes it is his Skunk-Trio, but I drew it for him as
fan art... NOT to be a copy-cat...
The iguana with them on the pic is a character I created even before I
know anything about James M. Hardiman or Des Lee... I based my character
on my Real Life pet Iguana (Called Zeus)...
This is a subject that has been discussed on the group a while back,
where Ross Sauer had the idea that I had copyed Des Lee... After some
long discussions back and forth we came to an understanding...
Des herself even contacted me and told me that my character was of my
own creation and NOT a rip-off from her or James Hardimans art...
I'm very sorry that you feel this way, but I can do no more then remove
all my art from the internet and let it be like that... I don't know
what else to do... I have been through this more then once and I just
can't take it anymore...
