Default IGN used my artwork on its homepage

I decided to check out IGN.com, the massive gaming site, and noticed one of my images is on the home page.



You should recognize that leftmost image as...well, my previous avatar.

The original image, which I put together (based on a frame from the anime) in Flash, is here:
http://floatzel.net/pokemon/Typhlosion2.png

A screenshot and the image where it was used are attached for later reference.

Being artistic and all that, I do have to complain to IGN that that image is just such a contrast to the rest of the page; white on dark red is a nice color scheme, but then they just added all these colorful Pokemon in. Their choice of advertisements doesn't help either.

But, what Spirit said; everybody knows about you, so there's no problem.

Yeah, judging by the various artwork types, they definitely just got whatever random Pokémon images they came across, but good job of having them deem yours "worthy".

That's great Cat!

Even though I sort of hate IGN, and I kind of think it's wrong they used the picture without your knowledge.

Ah, no wonder that Typhlosion looked strangely familiar.

But anyway, isn't that violating some sort of property right? I'd be flattered yet somewhat pissed if I were you, Cat.

That's wonderful, Cat

Did they ask for permission from you?
