The work is superb, no denying
and I can't see anything wrong with showing off genuine, dedication hard work and talent
Sad to read about the deals on DLF.
I think if it was myself, I would be happier to receive the Vector files that I can have printed anytime rather than have the printed artwork. Not so good if you thought the deal was for both and only receive one but not end of the world because it can be done from the free files, also if the deal that didn't go as planned you could of had some printed out and sold it to pay for your own prints
So I can see both their points but If it was myself I wouldn't be too upset about it and move on, if you don't want to deal again then understood
On Mikonos side
Why anyone would expect him to give his artwork files away to people I have no idea, that's just crazy and we've all seen what happens when you upload your work, it gets sold on ebay with the people with no talent making money from others hard work, that's not right
So to get the files to keep after he's spent many hours on it was an ok deal imho and I would be happy to lend my artwork especially when he's honest to return it, that was where I thought it was going but happy to see it wasn't and it was returned, that's good
I could of scanned my Afterburner Artwork, it is pretty mint on the machine because it was converted to Thunderblade with that artwork over the top of it, I peeled it off to reveal the original AB
I think the point about people seeing the printed artwork send to Bruno would help to promote the business also, so I can see that and might have been worth it for mikonos to supply it
Don't think everyone should fall out over it though, it is a small community of people so you need to tread careful, I know...
Certainly good to have people that put such hard work into this hobby, but it's not just a hobby for some
