I don't think I've ever mentioned this so I'm going to correct that mishap.
From the moment I saw this image, I was absolutely transfixed. I am an aspiring author and for a reason that can only be attributed to fate, I came upon this image and instantly, it brought me together with an idea that was more a concept, the idea of a grand story than an actual scenario with only one fixed character in it that had always been in my head.
Since then, (and that was a couple of years back), I've come back to this image so often that I can't even count the occasions anymore. The concept became the largest enterprise I have ever undertaken. The story has been building since then and if the first drafts were composed about a year back, the actual official writing began only three weeks ago. And, amidst school and a million other distracting elements, I've managed to produce 4500 words that I am increasingly proud of.
Now this might be meaningless but here's the catch; this piece of art is the practically spitting image of the very character I was searching to depict in my story. He displays the same focused pride, the same self-assuredness and the same general aura that I was aiming for. And he's always had a very similar costume which made it all the more awesome when I "met" your covered up guy for the first time.
Now I hope I'm not sounding impertinent or plagiaristic or anything because frankly, I simply wished to impart how heavily this image impacted my life and the greatest project I've ever taken on. I'm still a long way from even hoping to get published but nevertheless, I wanted to let you know, regardless of the book ever becoming successful or your reading it in the event that it should. Or even your reading the comment, seeing as you most likely already have many to read and this one turned out quite lengthy.

If you've ever played Prince of Persia - Warrior Within
You would see the Striking resemblance between this guy and the Raiders...

that's a pretty tight concept character... for some reason, it reminds me of Shredder from TMNT, except like... his good-guy twin...
nice!

Funny thing: I added this painting to my favourites a long while ago and then, two weeks ago as I bought the new book of Richard Schwartz "Der Herr der Puppen. Das Geheimnis von Askir 04." (german fantasy) I recognized it on the cover !
Because the author is still relatively new he seem not to get to decide what's on the cover of his books. The pictures on his other books hat next to nothing to do with their contents. If you have fantasy, this time it's a bit better. But I think it would have looked a lot better if there would no (bad CG) background. Just a white cover with this covered up guy would be great. I'm at the middle of the book and until now no one matches exactly that picture, but at least it's obviously someone oriental. After all the heros ended up in some sandy country.

ohhhh wow man I just read this comment, that's kind of not cool. I never agreed to put my artwork on a novel cover..I guess I'll have to contact the publisher about this or something D:

I wonder, are there any news on this? I'd really like to know how your drawing could end up on a book cover without your agreement.

Haha yeah I did email them about it around a week ago, but didn't get a reply yet. =T

I was going through my favs and saw your picture again. I wonder, are there any updates on the matter of the stolen artwork?

I see. If you need something translated from german/english to english/german I could lend you a hand. However, I think at piper they can surly speak english. After all, they translate books from english to german for a living.

Oh, that's not good. I hope you get compensated properly. I guess someone might want to look through all those covers of books published by piper . Maybe there are more copyright infringements. But who's got the time for that... :/
However, the book is great. Your artwork doubly so.
