    I don't think that it really matters. Maybe a Graphic Art 101 kinda thing...
    I'm going to say yes it was ripped off. So sue me.

    Have you just been dumped?

    I ask because it's usually something like that which causes outbursts like this, needless to say I dissagree completely.

    Everything's a rip off these days, what do you think?

    It's an unoriginal design. You'd have thought people would be more creative, but maybe they're scared they'll miss with something new.

    Yep, that was kinda the (very obtuse) point of my post. Heck, you can go back to the 1920 and the Pep Boys Manny, Moe and Jack automotive supplies store for a similar "pose".

    That sounds like an interesting little game for the Gameroom forum - design the Kingdoms cover.

    Its a fairly common way of doing things, just check out movie posters.
    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.
