Hey Tomic, thats some really top notch sleuthing!

Just to try and salvage my good name, the original you found is also my illustration, so I am not ripping anyone off.

I'm a tad sad that this seems to have disqualified my image as i spent a few hours pixelifying it and altering the colours. but oh well, such is life.

I am curious as to how you did the reverse image search, google images or brass eye or somthing else?

This Rulz!
