in 10 years i have never made a consistent income from this work and i am tired of designers from huge companies moodboarding and parasitising my designs while i struggle to make a living.

i don't have the resources nor the energy to spare to pursue this legally but i have lost count of the number of times a major company has deemed it easier to pay a designer to imitate or steal my work than to write me an email.

the Marathon alpha released recently and its environments are covered with assets lifted from poster designs i made in 2017.

4/ @Bungie should educate @josephacross : When you are stealing someone's posters, make sure you erase @4nt1r34l name from the texture.

(Left: an asset spread-out trough the game on various elements. Right: Poster named "Antireal daily series" from Antireal. 2017-2018

3/ How do we know that this is a poster stolen from @4nt1r34l ? Well you just take a look. We got some screenshots sent by people who had an alpha game.
And if you really need a proof >

2/ Joseph A Cross seems is bold and blatant in his art theft, as if no one is going to say anything about this. This one is another Fern's Antireal poster, making a big portion of actual "ASCII" in the game menus and briefings.

1/ Dear @MarathonTheGame graphic design lovers.
It is time for me to burn some bridges.
Because thanks to @4nt1r34l daily posters stolen and put as textures in the game and many other assets utilized, you have created AntirealTheGame.

@Bungie @josephacross

Make sure your RPG battle transitions, scene composition, and attack animations are at least as cool as this Taiwanese DOS RPG from 1995
