I see this often in film, yet there are no cries of plagiarism for that.
The work in question (none of the Bond work) was images straight taken from other pieces of art and applied to her own. Not modeling their work, not homage, straight 1:1 copying with no credit.
Was it other licensed Bond material? Not excusing anyone but perhaps there was confusion over what could be used.
As far as I know it actually had nothing to do with any Bond work at all, but her work on art for the TCG Magic: The Gathering.
Who knows what else she's taken from other artists and on which projects? I love the look of these Folio editions, but I can't bring myself as spending considerable money on a collection like this now.
How do you know she simply did "copy and paste" and not redrew the artwork in her own hand?
We talked at length about all of this previously in this thread I believe, but here is some of it again. Take a look at the shadows / perspective in the above art; I would think if the art was simply redrawn the artist would've taken care to adjust for these things.
Additionally, I believe Fay Dalton's own defense was that this was the work of collage and that she in fact took from other art and included it in her work for these cards, crediting it as her own.
If I'm being honest, it seems as though in your two most recent comments, you're making assumptions about the issue at hand and then defending her based on those assumptions. I recommend doing some research into the matter and coming to your conclusions that way. Even in this thread there was some good discussion surrounding the matter that I think is worth taking a look at!
And there's been debate online on reddit about whether some of the work she's been accused of is traced, or all of it is a collage.
This figure is similar, but I'm not convinced she simply copied and pasted this.
Where are you seeing that?
NickTwentyTwo shared the image of it on the last page. It’s also in the product description on the site: “4 colour illustrations including 1 fold-out double-page spread”
I reckon it's to make up for there only being four illustrations inside. Isn't at least five or six the average for the Bond Folios? (I'm not home now to check).
Folio have also since sent me (and presumably everyone else on their mailing list) the official blurb, which also shows it.
