The sad part is that Jo Chen's beautiful cover art had to get bleached along with all the plagiariffic images inside. Oh, Jo Chen (http://jo-chen.com/main-data/jo.html), you deserve better than this.
How the hell she got dragged into this WTFery? My guess: artists need to eat and pay rent, so when Radical offered her work to do the covers, she figured it was honest work and therefore worth her time, she and gave it her usual high-quality output. She's shown no signs of being a fan of Bleach or Hellsing, so I can't blame her for not noticing the plagiarism.
P.S. That's not fan art she's posted...that's official cover art.
Yeah, that's one of the biggest parts of the tragedy.... she IS an honest artist. I loved her covers for Marvel's Runaways and the covers for the Buffy comics.
Like you said, the cover artists are contacted and told what to draw, they often have no idea of what's on the inside of the comic.
Ohohoh, cute Yachiru and funny idea! You credit properly.. XD but.. don't you need to credit the infamous Mr.Nick Simmons for the Incarnate? XD although credit him for..his....uh, "work" seems doesn't right XD;;
