Ghostbusted?

Journal Entry: Thu Jan 24, 2008, 11:22 AM

Hope everyone is doing well! Things are very busy for me, but I hope to post some more personal art soon. Thanks a ton to everyone for the comments and support. Today I stumbled upon something that I think I need to call out. Typically I'm not one to care, but when it's this dear to my heart, I have no choice. I showed this around to some other artists, and they all say that the resemblance is too close. Take a look at the picture below from IGN.

Is it just me, or does the model for the upcoming Ghostbusters game look similar to the design I did of Raymond Stanz? I added in images from art that I have done highlighted with the red boxes. I also drew the hair style I designed over top one model to show how close it really is. Not too sure if I should take offense to this or take it as a compliment? What are your thoughts?

Cheers,

Dapper

Yo Dan,

Sorry I haven't given you those crits I promised on your Marvel card art but I've been taking a bit of a break from browsing the net for the last week or so.

Rest assured, when I get a chance I'll get cracking on that :)

Laters.

I wish I had the time to post a comment on all of the pictures that blew me away in your gallery -- it's so great to see a free flowing style like yours.

Loosens me up just looking at it. Great work, man.
