Remember this?

+ Show Spoiler +
[image loading]


Well it turns out he didn't actually draw the terribly colored horse himself. He stole it from some geocities website called "Fantasy Artwork by Tsaiko".

Source:

http://www.geocities.com/joi-chan/Artwork/Fantasy/Fantasy.html

Scroll down on the page:

The image is here: http://www.geocities.com/joi-chan/Artwork/Fantasy/pokemon.jpg

With the caption: "Water Unicorn: Ever watch Pokemon? Rapidash was always my favorite, but I never did like the idea of a fire unicorn. So I made a water version. The tail was a pain to do, but turned out great. Drawn in colored pencils on my dorm room floor one summer. 80 K."

Remember how I always thought it was a shittily recolored version of Rapidash? Well I was right.

It turns out whoever it is' terrible T-Shirt idea was stealing some 15 year old Anime' weeaboo's drawing, putting in a shitty font on the bottom, and passing it as his own terrible work.

rofl.

To be honest, it would've been more drama-tastic if he hadn't been banned.

It took me a while to find the website the original picture was on.

Also, through more extensive digging, I found the original picture creator's name. She's female.

Because people for some reason weren't convinced that it was a recolored rapidash, so I google image searched (with safe search on!) rapidash, trying to show that rapidash actually looked like that. To be honest, I wasn't expecting to find the exact picture, just something that looked pretty similar so I could say he just drew a rapidash and recolored it. Wasn't expecting it to be some other person's drawing that he ripped off. I didn't actually have to go through many pages. It was certainly before page 6 of results, though I don't remember exactly where it showed up.

<_<

He could've at least stolen some better artwork :/

Im confused... Winning submitted that tshirt, NukemDuke got banned because he went off about Winning getting DQed from the contest (for posting on 4chan to get votes)

Kennigit later talked to Winning on ventrilo and was convinced that Winning did not post on 4chan himself.

But since it looks like Winning copied this shirt design, looks like he should have been DQ'ed anyways. Also, he may have been lying about not posting on 4chan as well.

edit: or maybe NukemDuke posted on 4chan under Winning's ID which would explain why he was so angry about it. Probably was a troll attempt gone wrong :p

Ah, well then I changed the OP to "whoever it is'".

Although seriously, if someone responds at stimey-levels to "censorship" of someone else's ill-gotten poll results, then well, he seriously deserves to be banned as well.

I like how this is going, but it isn't particularly exciting. Good for a quick "lol".

Not only is the artwork gay as shit but he had the audacity to be gay and use the gay piece as his own gay drawing. God how gay.

Edit: But funny nonetheless.

Too bad about the drama, there were some really nice designs in that contest. I loved the last one, the gray with red trim & logos on the sleeves. Mmmmm...
