Great work Derek. Your drawing is well integrated with the photo, or should that be the photo is well integrated with the drawing.

Cheers Bill... A bit of both maybe.

Copying, tracing and altering Walt Disney cartoon characters, and publishing them online, is plagiarism, especially when you give yourself credit for their creation. Doing this is bad enough, but steadfastly defending it (and thereby promoting it) is considerably worse. If you insist on plagiarising, at least be considerate enough to keep TG out of it.

Sorry James, but he didn't actually do that - you just assumed that's what he meant, but it's not how I read it, and I wouldn't think many others would either

Hi James... I have at no time took the credit for creating the characters in this picture, and as I said before, anyone with an ounce of sense would know that... I did however say I did the picture for a friend. Saying that does NOT mean I created the characters... So on that note, can we please draw a line under the issue!! Thanks again.
