ok back & following up/further supplying your request of psd proof (i still dont fully understand the issue here other than it looking like a job he apparently made in the past, which was only linked to me from the thread and request itself to use as a "similar showcase for their d2 character", which was supplied & created by me). i will state for the 3rd & last time that these border images are the rights of diablo/blizzard posting again the original img board framework on psd that was used for said "banner/border" assets, as also seen isolated below
https://i.imgur.com/ik41NDK.pngI'll take it as a compliment at this point that hamm insists I directly "ripped" something from him, but unless he apologizes for the baseless accusation and behavior i'd only like to hear from a mod personally regarding this matter, because now it is beggining to become a waste of my time. I only used a profile image that was supplied to me as a reference and I recreated my own version from said reference. I had no idea this came from "hamm" at the time of taking the request (it was an image linked as reference in someone elses' jsp profile). Hamm seems to believe i somehow had access or searched for his specific "collage border" template from apparently years ago that i didn't know existed until he posted it in this thread today and that I went back in time to supply it directly in someone's graphic request on d2jsp. Not only does he not own the rights to the Diabo2 "C" & "T" menue borders, i don't think its fair for him to claim ownership of a template's layout/position of imgs. I frankly dont see too much wrong with creating a replica of something seen at someones request. He should take it as flattery that Kreitz (the requester) liked the look of one of his jobs for someone to have as insipration for having one of his own. if i took his profile image directly & used it (lets say for someone wanting an assasin, used a same bacgrkound & slapped by Kreitz/my name on it), that would be a different story, but this is becoming silly now.
hoping this can resolve the case and kreitz can continue displaying the profile he wanted for his D2 zon, as the project alone already took several hours of work to complete, not including this headache, cheers
psd ss's (in order):
https://imgur.com/a/smUXjF2-no border
-border on
-bottom and top left borders off
-half of border left frame/layer removed
-mana potion demon (cropped DIRECTLY FROM DIABLO)
-main initial border 1 start piece (cropped DIRECTLY FROM DIABLO)
-main initial border 2 start piece (cropped DIRECTLY FROM DIABLO)
-border only
Given that the graphic has been removed from the accused users profile, I consider this accusation solved purely from a ripper accusation perspective.
^NetnYahoo
While ^Hamm didn't create the images/assets himself, it seems clear that he did the design, layout, compilation and placement of the assets.
From what I see, the frame graphic you sold and claim to be made by yourself matches pixel perfect and some of the assets (e.g. the way the arm of the demon has been cut out) seems directly copied.
It's one thing getting inspiration from another users work and using it as a general idea for your own graphics but this looks blatantly copied.
As it stands, this is considered a rip of ^Hamm's work and I ask you to refund the 500.00 Forum Gold to ^Kreitz to solve this.
Linkin,
i did right that i made ripper accusation because it is made exactly for
this cases and the only place where you can resolve it is in here,
when you are helping to players with making gfx collages for years
and you do your own collages by your hands in PS Frames/Boarders
and now also when you generating AI Images (the new metod that was brought to me not long time ago) So in my collages from 2025 till now
are everything made by my hands (ofc except players items screenshots from game).
So i was and will defend years of the collage FUN that i do for players
everytime i see there can be anyone copy/rip my collages.
And i do it right.
thanks for the time!
Thank you for help to resolve this.
, It is nothing personal against you,
if i had time that time, i would make you collage but i hadnt
so after i was mentioned in your topic i just didnt reply and checked your profile after week/days to see what collage you got from users.
When i saw the Frame/boarders used in my collages, even in the link
you posted to users to see examples what you do need,
when i saw collage with Framing i used,
you and anyone else cant say that i did bad to defend my years of collages.
I hope you get from the user the New one.
I hope for one that will not copy collages, framing, of any other gfx helper
in the forums.
The most important is to be/have Authentic collage. There is not many gfx helpers who are making such collages, but when you see in users profile,
you will see Authentic works of each Gfx helper, every one got His Own Style
regognized easy for everyone who knows theyre works.
It is nothing personal against you,
this place was made exactly for defending anything you created and you
see/feel othet user is copy/rip your work.
You Copied my Framing/boarders as was said/posted by your posts in here.
While this frame that ive created in 2023
https://i.postimg.cc/FhmFNCdg/Frame.pngIve created from the game screenshots ofcourse its clear to everyone
and it was never said you cant use game screenshots on Yours collage.
It was never said you cant copy from game boarder/potion pic whatever.
Me and other gfx helpers are doing such collages for the years,
you dont have to Argue about this. We know it its clear..
But,
Who knows if you simply dont help you to copy/crop some from my frame
and some from game? Only You Know. Thats why my reaction.
I think youve misunderstood the Kreitz Request post where he showed
link with my 2023 collages examples.
And youve made Copy of my collages, especially Framing linked above.
You cant be surprised that i will defend my collages, or any other user
if it was his collages.
I was surprised that you did it and that was my reaction on it.
By my words about Bad Quality was meant especially on the Framing.
Cant see image anymore was gif and it showed to me even like a Video when i clicked on it. So yes when i see Copy of my work that is not my work and is not that quality it was my reaction on your copy.
But didnt meant it as general of your work.
I think you misunderstood Kreitz request and you copied collages from link.
You did it by yours hands in PS ofc but you werent Authentic, you was making a kind of copy.
Im sure you can do very good next one and i can say you,
when you keep doing you will improve by making a new one year to year I know it. Its called practice and it works well in everything in Life.
Keep doing it because i never wanted you to feel you are Bad gfx helper
no i think you are good and you will be pretty great when you continue.
Im Not presenting myself and never was as Pro Gfx or whatever,
Im Not the One whos earning money for it and i have no time to go this way. I never asked 5K for collage you got wrong information.
Im using the very old free version of PS and im ok with it.
Thats the reason you dont see Animations (some bigger animations)
in my collages much.. i dont want it and Im just making help to players.
I did many collages to many users and they know my style my authentic
works. I was doing for FUN and will. I did collages from Free to Few Fg to 2-3k and its all only depends on my time and Fgs are for time invested only
and nothing more for me for the years amd everyone knows this.
Last words:
Authenticity.
Inspiration for improve and make your own "system" of your collages
so users will know you are doing this = OK and Welcomed!
New gfx helpers to users = OK and Welcomed!
Copying.
Making copies to image look like base/other users image = NO.
Keep up the good work and authentic and make your own style
your own signature on the gfx collages that users will recognize its you
and keep help as many users as you can/want with your gfx help!
Take care and stay healthy friends!
