This is 100% mine, please give me a moment to explain.
Please realize, the only reason for the mishap with Melodude's stuff is because I'm new to this whole Gfx thing and it honestly didn't even cross my mind that there are some pictures you can't use in creating a graphic because it's owned by someone else. I promise you it won't happen again now that I know this.
But these paintings are mine. If you notice the signatures, they all bear my last name, "Hew". My real name is Alvin Hew.
My other alias is "garygill", and that is my username on deviantArt. "garygill" is an acronym whose meaning is explained on my dA page. You can also check out my site: www.alvinhew.com. On there you will find links to a bunch of other sites I post on.
As an illustrator I've never had to worry about which art I could use and which art I couldn't use because I painted everything from scratch. This is why it never crossed my mind that when I create graphics using other images, there are just some I'm not allowed to use.
Again, now that I know this, it won't happen again. I'm really very sorry for the misunderstanding.
Unless I can see proof of this is any way other then your jsp name happening to be the same as the paintings. Also I am not understanding why you don't just paint sigs as they are worth much more. Lastly as there is 100's of each one of your paintings on google images I feel my first statement is warranted.
