Well, I've been holding on to these for a little while now, but I figured I'd go ahead share them with you guys. I got my start playing (and making) games on my Trusty Commodore 64. Since the C64 is celebrating it 30th birthday this year, I thought it'd be fun to imagine what The Walking Dead game might look like if it were created for that classic machine! And here are the results!
i like these, i can totally imagine playing it like this
well, i was messing in photoshop class, and this is what i ended with. not alot of complicated photoshop techniques were used ( alot of blending modes and opacity changes along with copy/paste layers) although i was suprised how the title font turned out because it was my first try and worked very well with it! but i feel like it may be missing something, or maybe i just like looking at it alot haha. either way, criticisms and appreciations are welcome!
Great work Orbifold, really want to get a poster of that. Loving the detail and character faces. Simple yet detailed and awesome.
I like you're picture too Jacob, especially love the city background. Everything seems to blend well. Sorry if this is nitpicky but the light blue lines in the middle seem kind of out of place.
Edit: Reuploaded, I can't believe I forgot Mollys hair clip!
Hey Orbifold, did you give these folks permission to use your work?? (unless you did this yourself) ..... Link They at least could say who the artist was.

Whoa, that's weird. What's up with the color changes?
I wasn't asked any kind of permission to use my work, not that I really mind. A small credit would've been nice and all, but I have no interest to go chasing after folks at some gaming site I've never heard of with any kind of demands. After all this is a just some fan-art about Telltale's characters in a Robert Kirkman's universe, so I don't like to claim the same kind of "ownership" as with my other work.
I like to think it as a compliment when someone values my drawing's enough to put it in to an article.
The problem I would have with it, if I were you, is with the site logo on that picture, they are in effect claiming creative control over that picture.
it's just common decency /sense to praise the original creator.
nicking other peoples work is just plain rude and offensive to then use it to further their own and make money of it. might wanna think about adding your own water mark
Sorry if this is nitpicky but the light blue lines in the middle seem kind of out of place.
no no youre fine, man haha. to be honest i looked at it and for some reason i thought the blue lines were fit to the pictures. it makes sense in my head only probably though, because i thought the blue lines kinda gave a dark themed overcast/shadow, sunburst/whatever. i dont know haha its just me but thanks!

I agree and suspect that's also why they changed the coloring of the image. Very rude.

when i saw that article posted by telltale on facebook i thought the people that put it up would have asked to use it, it wouldn't have been very hard to do, but i guess at least we know you made it

The author of the review changed Molly's hair color to match her own. I left her a note on her blog asking her to address this issue. Let's just see if that's enough. No need for a shit storm here (which I would normally be the first to deliver... I hate this kind of internet take and use culture).

But I DO think you should be more self-conscious about the excellency of your work. It's true that in principle, you can't claim anything related to copyright because it's fan art, but that doesn't mean journalists can use it at will. That's just not right and this lady should know better. You ask the artist kindly, you get a permission for every change and if the artist doesn't like the change, you don't DO it. You don't plug your own logos on someone else's art. And you don't ever, EVER obstruct the artist's signature (by the way: put one in ).

I'm really balancing between standing up to principles and not wanting to make fuss about this. But being the lazy type I'll probably settle for your note (thanks for that! ) and really hope it's enough for now. As pointed out, the picture wasn't edited by the writer herself, so it is possible that there was some kind of a misunderstanding or just plain ignorance involved. I have no idea whether this is just a one-off or standard practice. Either way it is still a bit amateurish and I hope they will handle this kind of stuff better in the future.
Leaving the picture without signature was definitely a mistake on my part, and I'll be sure to add it in the future. Watermarking seems a bit excessive.
Watermarking IS excessive. I hate it when DA members do it, because that's spoiling the picture for people who just want to enjoy it in the intended way. I get why people do it though!
In the meantime, the review says:
For the original fan art of this header see TWD Facebook group
As I can not look at anything facebook on purpose, can someone confirm that that's where is named?
Strike that, the author has responded kindly to my comment on her blog. Is there a particular name you would like to be used? Orbifold or Odobenus maybe?
