Game art copied from elsewhere

General software. From trouble with the Banyan Tree to OCP Art Studio, post any general software chat here. Could include game challenges...

Yes, many Street Fighter characters are inspired by some real or fictional person.
A quick Google search gave me this article where it is described in details:

I remember reading somewhere that dude in loading screen for Trantor is copied after... Jon Bon Jovi :)

But I lack the definite proof here. that's the closest I found:

Possibly also the Legend of Kage cover, but I'm not so sure:

There is also a hint of Ming the Merciless. See this Flash Gordon poster:

Psssst, Rorthron..... the images in your last 3 postings have failed to appear. Probably on a tea break and extended loo session.

Images work fine for me. In fact the Conan the Barbarian art looks like one of Oliver Frey's denied Crash covers.

I think the problem is with Chrome. The images work fine in Firefox and Edge. Chrome seems to be blocking vgy.me: it even blocks the URL when typed in the address field: "You cannot visit vgy.me right now because the website uses certificate pinning."

Ah, but I'm using firefox....
The strange thing is that all of the images that I could previously see from you in this posting have also gone. Images from other forum members are ok though.

Odd.

Can you see Morkin's images of Balachor's Revenge in this thread? (He also used vgy.me.)

Nope, just the words image image. I can see Dave's graphpaper artwork though.

Oi, that's my graphpaper artwork! :)

It makes even less sense that you can see one, but not the other, as they are both on vgy.me.

To add to the confusion, I can't see R-Tape's images in that thread and they are not on vgy.me.

To add to more confusion, I've fired up the other PC with Windows 7 and Chrome browser and the pictures are there...
The Firefox browser is with XP...

And to add even more confusion to the normal confusion, yes I see your Balachor graphpaper graphic with Win7 + chrome and I also see Dave's graphpaper wonderchars designs (the ones you don't see). And it's snowing outside!

It's my fault - I set the forum's buttock count to a maximum of 3 per post.

Issue with the images is to do with HPKP pinning.
An error occurred during a connection to vgy.me. The server uses key pinning (HPKP) but no trusted certificate chain could be constructed that matches the pinset. Key pinning violations cannot be overridden. Error code: MOZILLA_PKIX_ERROR_KEY_PINNING_FAILURE
see: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/ce ... ng-reports

I've used the report button, in case it's a Firefox issue, but it looks like it's a problem with the website vgy.me screwing it up.

US Gold released Flak in 1984.

One year after, they released Raid Over Moscow. It seems they made the most of the Flak screen to made this:

The absence of the wing mirrors makes the top pic look completely different...

Think it's a trust issue between Chrome and vgy.me, works fine in IE.

Good spot with Game Over and Mutants!

At first I didn't notice it at all.

If someone doesn't really see it:
Spoiler
It's the helmet. See two little "horns" at the forhead, nose cover, edges around the eyes. Too much similar for a coincidence
And here it is isn't obvious who copied after whom ;)
