We’ve heard questions on the integrity of the art on the card Trouble in Pairs from the Murders at Karlov Manor Commander set, and we had questions, too. As we have looked into this further, we’re now suspending future work with Fay Dalton.

      Fay Dalton was found to have traced a substantial amount of the art in Trouble in Pairs from an old Donato Giancola book cover

      More parts were found to have been copied from older pieces of art as well

        Ooof… that’s embarrassing. Does Wizard not check for such things? It’s not that hrd to use an image lookup tool these days to check fr plagiarism…

        Thanks for the context!

          It had been drawn over (shadows were different).

          If Fay Dalton had also changed the character’s race and hair color, it probably wouldn’t have been noticed.
