After his game ideas? What the hell would I want with them? Unless you haven't noticed I've got hundreds of character ideas of my own and entire world I'm busy writing a storyline in order to turn into a comic, his ideas consisted of bog standard fantasy art that I added twists and turns onto. I asked for a contract to ensure he wouldn't use my artwork beyond what it was intended for, he went ape without even checking to see what I wanted, it's a pretty standard thing especially since the free art extended and got bigger as the whole thing went on. I'm not made of time, I had to have a point where I could say woah no more, I even offered to do all the damn layouts for him after his layout person pulled out.
I don't generally work with tabletop RPG's, last thing I did was design an entire race for warhammer (unofficially of course) wrote their story and everything but I had to get a friend to help me with the strategy because my skills don't lie that way, hence his little rpg would be a bunch of character designs to me nothing more. I've got tonnes of those including the ones he wanted me to alter for the rpg which was another reason I asked for a contract so it was clearly defined what art of mine he could and couldn't use, I was after his designs? more like he was after mine.
Let see he had, clerics...dragon knights and a few other human lots that you'll find anywhere in most rpgs, I designed the lizard race sheets full of npc critters and a few other things. So basically at the end of it, I designed the unique characters, he was doing the basic characters...and even with those I did things like gave them armour designs, I never saw his game engine so I couldn't really steal that, pray tell what would I steal? names? generic characters you'd find in any warcraft game?
Uhuh, I could probably dig up the logs where he threatens me with the secret police he now claims no longer exists. He's lucky I didn't take the whole thing to the real cops and let them investigate him especially after he tried to pester me into joining this 'mercury command' group and going under cover at cub art.
Er no, I think you mis-remember, I have not met pinkfairylotus in real life nor have I ever claimed to have done so. I know she lives in the same country as me though.
Either way, I've got no real reason to lie, what did I get out of the whole thing? A bunch of generic character sketches I've long since binned or consigned to oblivion, a heap of hassle. what's he got to get by lying? 'Revenge' because I dared to laugh at his threats and pulled the plug on the whole thing. *shrugs*
Either way I'm warning people that this guy is trouble. Even if you don't believe me, be on your guard at least.
Uhuh...
