[QUOTE="The Antra, post: 117627, member: 1290"] Hi, all! I've been following this topic since its start and I kept myself from expressing my opinion as it (the topic) shows a good potential for a flame war. However, I am very disturbed by the reference to the "artists" of the book in a plural and general way. Regardless of topless falling into the classification of "bad taste", "light porn" or "commercial gimmick", I just wanted to state that I myself as an artist have never done any sexist pic and I have worked on both books of the Quintessential line. Due to a printing error, my name does not appear in the credits for the Quintessential Fighter (and Mongoose was very nice to apologize for that) but it does appear in The Quintessential Rogue. I have also worked on books from many other companies like Pinnacle, Mystic Eye, Green Ronin, Living Imagination and those editors can attest to that. If you want to check any piece of my artwork, please visit my website at: [url]www.webspace.com.br/marciofiorito[/url] or at both Mongoose books by themselves (my signature is an "MF" at the bottom or side of the images). Thus, I believe the plural reference to the "artists" should be reviewed as the pictures in question were all done by the same artist. I don't recall his name right now. I know people don't always care about the artists names and saying that they think that they look down on the "artists" of the book in plural (even if MY artwork is not among the ones in question here) is illogical and unfair to say the least. Thanks for the attention. Sincerely, Marcio Fiorito [/QUOTE]
