On the night of April 4, I watched AVGN's latest review of Darkman on NES and then that moment happened (at the 9:09 mark)
That image comparison between the two movies? ...I made it, back in early 2017: www.deviantart.com/killb94/art…

I more or less reacted like this youtu.be/4Km7yeXDe4s

Like, WOW. Imagine you're just there, chilling, watching the latest review of AVGN, and suddenly you see an image you made pop out. It sure was surreal.
But exciting too. Like holy shit, something I put together got featured in a James Rolfe video! Without being credited, though lol


But in all seriousness, it's okay.
I don't think there's any need to call him out, not just because I know James Rolfe is a good person I get no bad vibes from, but more because I believe that when it comes to memes or images like that, the topic of copyright becomes pretty sketchy.
All I did was just putting together with paint a bunch of screenshots taken from my RoboCop and Darkman DVDs, that's it.

Now if he was showing off an ARTWORK I made from scratch and didn't bother to credit me as the artist, then I'd be upset and call him out on it.

What probably happened is that James would've made his own montage or some other thing to illustrate his point, but he found my thing on Google Images, went "Holy shit that's perfect, exactly what I needed" and I saved him some time, so if anything I'm happy I indirectly helped him get the review out sooner.
It's still pretty fucking awesome to have something you made appear on the video of an internet celebrity like him.



(for those who noticed and wonder, yes, the "Dutch Angle zoom-in" is indeed meant to homage Sam Raimi's camerawork from his early films like Evil Dead youtu.be/Zj6eotFgnPo?t=109 including Darkman too youtu.be/lbdeAhpIPhE?t=105)
