Allow me to copypaste (you can watch the entire thread at 4chan, and there are several new images there, by the way):

Good luck with that. I have plenty of my own stuff I'd rather work on, I'm afraid. Plus I'm strapped for time already as is.

I vaguely recall you asking about this on forums years and years ago. I would ask that you make it clear it's a *fan* game and not anything official.

It would also be preferable if you didn't use my existing work as assets and instead created your own (of course, doesn't apply to placeholders).

As I think I said at the time, I have no problem with anybody making any fan works they desire. Using my own stuff in it kinda goes beyond that though, probably.

I hope you don't feel this is too much of a kick in the nuts, but I think it's entirely reasonable.

Truthfully, I understand his position. I definitely *don't want* to steal his hard work (because I fully know how badly that hurts), and in fact, I want to commission him for entirely new work. I have no problems putting a really big "MADE BY AWESOME DAVE" in the game, links to his website, and everything he could need to promote himself, because that will bring more interested fans, bringing more money, bringing more art from him, and so on.

That's why I'll only (and scarcely) use his previous art (perhaps with a watermark, if it's more suitable) to show what the game is capable of, and then, once he is interested enough, we can discuss everything else.

But hey, I'm open for ideas: if you think of better approaches, I'm fully in :)
