'Madbatter' DID NOT DRAW THIS.

He took this from another artist called David E Alter. :/

Looks just like a medieval manuscript!

Except this guy didn't draw it, an artist called David E Alter did. :/

I just found out that this is not your work, which is very upsetting because I featured it in an article a while ago. This was made by David E. Alter Jr. in 1982 and published in 2007 in Tolkien's Lord of the Rings: A Book of 20 Postcards. Shame on you.

This was done by David E Alter Jr. in 1982 and published in 2007 in a LotR supplementary book. How dare you claim this as your own.

'~OMangueOTangue' is right, 'Madbatter' didn't draw this, an artist called David Alter did - here's a google link to hits where he's mentioned - this piece was for a postcard book of Tolkien art in 1982! [link]

Madbatter, you've sat here for 9 years sucking up praise for work that YOU didn't do.

~OMangueOTangue Apr 22, 2013

This artwork was made by David E. Alter in 1982 and was published (2007) in a book called "Tolkien's Hobbit and Lord of the Rings Postcard Book"

Claiming something is your own, when it isn't, is truly bad form.

DAVID E. ALTER JR. - "Bilbo's Great Adventure"

The artwork is also in an earlier edition of the postcard book from 2000.

..Out of curiosity, how come you don't have any other work like this up? Your 3 other pics are rather... 'rough' and nothing like this. This would have taken considerable talent and time, I'm very surprised you don't have others in a similar style, or others at all. And what does that little sig at the bottom say? It looks a bit like 'Dada Bald'.

Forgive me for asking outright, but are you really the artist of this?
