And this is true. If you compare the two images (thanks to
the IRTC CDs), you'll notice that in fact everything is new.
He redid the sword, armor, hairs, postures, etc.

But the pose and general composition have not changed. Just
stand one step away from your monitor, and it will be hard
to tell the difference.

That's the problem, they're all new, yet the same. Just like
Andy Warhol series of Marylin, you see. Everything is changed,
everything is the same.

Not speaking of rules, do you think submitting the "same"
image over and over is very sensible? This is not in the
spirit of the competition, which is to create *new* images,
much more than new objects to put inside them.

I mean I prefer a new image with objects seen here and there
on the web, or in previous works from the artist, than the
same image done and redone.
