I have to agree with Incarnadine on this one, the styles are just to widely varied to be originals. If you look at the latest posts, they in no way are at the skill level as those wolves. Bryce, maybe combined with some serious Painter work could produce that level of art, but Bryce alone cannot do that. If that were the case, acva should be teaching a Master Class in Bryce. Someone should really contact the artist and see if they are aware that thier paintings are being passed off as digital art.

I agree with Incarnadine too. I'll try sending the painting site an email. And I also had no intention of making this thread a public bitch-slapping.

WOW! I stumbled into this and was quite curious to see that others are put-off by this as I am. I DID write to Lee and he wrote me back. He is NOT acva. The wolf images (well at least the one, "Mate") is not by acva but is a blatant rip-off.

Then its final.

Looks that way! The thing that clinches it is the attempt to pass off a wireframe as proof (and not even well at that!) ...to paraphrase - Got Rope!?

I also wrote to Lee and suggested he contact the admins about fraudulent use of his copyrighted works. The mates work is not the only one, pretty much all of the wolf works are rip-offs. Sad that someone would blatantly rip off an artist and spoof an entire community into believing that those are Bryce works. Hopefully the case will be closed on the fraud in a short time.
