Somewhat lacking variety but the ones that isn't part of a set/collection look rather creative and well-made..
Vosithed.

Voted no! Just check his covers, they all seem ripped from another one made by one of us. Am i the only one who thinks his Confessions of a Shopaholic was done using my cover?? Even the front vector looks the same!

this seems like similar ground ark, it was once said of another artist who is now a very worthy Master Designer.

I myself have improved by studying designs and for want of a better word 'copying' them. (although i normally let the artist know)
Call it inspiration and be proud he liked your cover enough you use it for inspiration, rather than thinking he ripped you off. :cheers:

He didn't use my cover for inspiration, he just ripped off, it's the correct term MHD.
I really don't mind to have him here, but without that cover. And will check the rest to see if there's more.

Hey Ark, I understand your beef, but aside from the placement of the Ilsa on the front and the back, these are two very different covers. I personally don't think you should bring yours down to the level of comparing it to his - they really are NOT in the same league.

Well, I think I would be a bit pissed to tbh. But is this a one off, or is all his work a rip as you say? I don't think one cover being copied is a reason to say no tho, but it certainly does need further attention.

Voted... he definitely has potential, but I think as a contributor, he should be encouraged to branch out with his own style a bit more. His Shopaholic cover is eerily similar to Ark's, and his Bond covers are very reminiscent of retail versions. (But who I am to talk? I'm the guy who rebuilds labels to look nearly identical to retail ones... :shrug:

)

Has anyone layered Sith's Shopaholic cover over Ark's in Photoshop and toggled the layer on/off to see how closely things are placed? (Just a thought...)
