· Roneye (Accused) had been pm'ing me MANY times asking me to sell my signature to him. I told him each time that it was not for sale. A very good friend of mine made this signature especially for me based on all of my requests (Originally marked Andrewmhs, rather than Andrewamh). This took hours of editing and I spent a good amount of fg for his time. Therefore, this piece is invaluable to me.
· I find Roneye later utilizing a signature that is almost a direct replica of mine. I pm him to humbly request that he removes it as it is way too similar to my signature. It feels like an app store knock-off!
His post requesting copied signature: https://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=85446688&f=111· This post literally is using my signature as an example as to what he is seeking. The similarities are astonishing. Skull placement. Angel/demon health/mana orb valances placing. Red gem placements- exact copies, nonetheless.
Please let me know if anything else is needed of me, and I appreciate the time spent to investigate this case. Thank you.

I do agree the signature is heavily inspired by #56.
But there haven't been used even 1 of the renders from his in mine. However that artwork is still property of Blizzard anyways.
IMO is a type of art style one can't possibly flag this as plagiarism?
Thank you for the report, while they are similar I do not see any evidence of an exact rip. If any information comes up in the future please pm me.
