We came across Toon Baby in a PC game by a UK company.

That baby has been everywhere i'am always seeing him in independent short films and on mouse mats

As a traditional fine artist....I am constantly seeing my work used in print for charities and some such. It seems that people don't quite understand that they are buying the physical painting....not the intellectual property to redistribute in other forms.

I used to fight it....but now that I am "retired", I just write it off as my contribution to well-meaning patrons. They have treated me well.

In your case, however...there has to be a bit of a Dickensonian sting. Sure it's nice to see others appreciate your work....but not to make profit from it as their own intellectual property. Poor Charles Dickens...he wrote the wonderful "A Christmas Carol"....and spent a great bit of his energy trying to protect it from being watered-down by opportunists.

Those type of games are actually fine. They use several renders of the figure from different angles to make them seem 3d. They don't use the actual model in any way.

Thanks for your feedback and support - I'll remember you when I pay my electricity account this month!
