      @Postmortal_Pop @mike
      It recently came out that Dan Frasier’s art in The One Ring box toppers poorly copied a previous One Ring artist.
      You can see in the left that the ring is blobby and the script hasn’t entirely been blurred out

      Frasier admitted to copying it in as reference art and then not properly painting over it, and apologized to everyone including the original artist.
      WOTC apologized for not catching it, and is now paying the other artist and crediting her work in the digital version

        Oh wow, I’ve seen memes with better Photoshop than that! Honestly I’m at all shocked, I expect wotc would be compensating artists with reduced floggings instead of money if they could get away with it.

          100% the money came with a big legal document attached to it saying “Don’t take any legal action against us or give us any bad publicity”
