Well, sort of ;)
Have a look at Dragon page 31...then have a look at my Tradesman pic I made 3 or so years ago...

Now, I am not accusing the artist of anything bad, lol, I take it as a nice compliment, and it's very nice what he's done

And one can hardly claim plagiarism when I merely took the awesome art work from the original boxed sets and made them into 3d, the original art design artist was fan-freakin-tastic, IMHO!
Just the practical design mostly sucks, hence I was building the ships in 3D in a way that was practical: 10' not 5' per square roughly, plus I reworked the interiors of the models to be possibly functional.

I'm sorry I haven't done any more SJ art, I'm very ill in RL and it's makes life, never mind art, very hard.
Was working on a fully re-done 3d Squidship..I have plans to make a Spelljammer video animation, hope I'm well enough at some point to do that

Dragon mag art editor got back to me in a flash, all is well
Genuine mistake, caused by someone liking my work, so I should get a mention in Dragon mag soon, woo hoo!

*big thumbs up to Sean at Dragon mag for being so honest and decent*

Very nice work! Did you send that pic in to Paizo and they then used it...or did they find it online and redo it for the mag?

Believe someone saw it online, liked it, used it as an explanation for SJ art, so later down the chain no one realized original wasn't WOTC/Paizo's own...simple mix up, but a flattering one
