Are you working all in Acrylic/paint or are you doing line work with a fine technical pen too?
Mostly acrylic, but I am also using 005 Sakura micron pens. I thought I ordered a set of six black, but it was 5 colored+black, so I've been experimenting with the colored ones a bit.
A set of Experiment Ones redone with Mewtwo. The original image I found here. The scientists in the shadows were added in at the customer's request. The original art has got to be the most bad-ass picture of a Pokemon as-is, though.
I knew that guy,He's a Chinese Artist.I never steal art.
Oh I see, you've met before and he's the same ethnicity as you, so it's not stealing. That makes sense.
I don't see his name credited anywhere. All I see is "MA MING" in huge letters with no indication whatsoever that it's not your artwork. Either way, I let him know--so it's your problem, now.

The work is overtly stolen. Hence, the word "steal". I am not sure how you came to the conclusion that I am a racist because I recognized stolen work and called it as such.

I don't remember Ma Ming ever claiming to have owned or created the background he used, just the alter. Cut him some slack--there's no need to be all artwork vigilante or for that matter, forum vigilante (I mean, you've only got 11 posts to date and a handful of those are from accusing Ma Ming).
This whole thing just stinks of someone looking to stir up drama. Seriously, just drop it.
oh guys aren't there rules and moderators on this forum? it should end up with a mod giving a warning or something. this is getting ridiculous.
MaMing named the author but did not link to his art. He never said that it is his own original work....
Not true. He absolutely did not name the original artist in any way.
As for stirring up drama: Are you serious? Someone was caught stealing artwork. That's not drama. It's copyright infringement. Ma Ming is a fantastic artist, but that doesn't give him the right to use others' work without citing it.
@everyone: Please, stop this discussion about Ma Ming's backgrounds and racism before it gets inflammatory. I'm aware of the problem here but can't take any actions until I've discussed it with the other mods.
Let's keep this as peaceful and pleasant as possible. Thanks.
Awesome job on this one, I can only imagine how much work it takes to alter a whole deck! I'm trying to build the exact same deck, my goal is to alter most of it, if not all too.Your Fows, Delvers, Tarmos and Ponders are my favorite pieces.
As for the Ma Ming case, I'm not sure what's the big deal, it's just an image on the background...
Pochy, really awesome work! I could care less about all the drama going on otherwise, its unfortunate timing that its all coming up when you have posted something so cool. Congrats on finishing an awesome deck, its work like this that keeps alterists going, we need to see each others work and completing a deck at a high level is just the type of encouragement I was looking for!

It is a big deal, since any post that contains others's artworks must be properly credited.
Seriously, let's stop this topic and bring the calm back. I wouldn't like to have any user involved in this matter getting an unnecessary infraction. If there's any action the mod staff should take regarding the matter, it would be solved properly as per forum rules.
Let's keep enjoying the amazing artwork we daily share here and avoid drama.
@urbanlegend: Nice! I'm currently about 8-84% done my Animar deck. I've painted every card myself so far. Takes a very long time. I'm hyper-critical of pieces that I know I will be keeping. I'm going to post when it is done.

Yeah, but honestly, he probably should have given credit where credit is due, and named the artist he took his background from.
@pochy, I love how those Delver-Checklists just POP out from the rest of the cards, great job!
