The Hardenburgh looks identical to the original to me (I drew the original, Tornado being my What-If modellers alter-ego). Still at least it looks pretty cool compared to the rest on that page.
You're going to have to elaborate on what you were aiming for, please.

klagldsf, not sure what you mean.
Aiming for what? I just said its identical to the original drawing, ie. he did nothing other than maybe change the flag. I drew the thing so I should know what it looks like. I cant find any changes even with the admittedly small scale of the picture. A good artist should know every pixel of his own drawing if he hasn't just cut 'n' pasted and blagged the whole thing.
Personally I find adding credits just because you changed a flag pretty annoying, correct but annoying. He could have changed soemthing or at least tried to improve on it or alter it in some way. A credit on the picture should reflect some kind of effort on the part of the second artist.

This
Nothing can be more annoying when you have spend months and months around some ship with your arm paralyzed from too much of mouse movement and pixels popping in and out from your brain... and then some upstart geezer goes to change the flag and adds some superficial poor copypaste things atop of the drawing and claims the rigth place his name under the credits...

I mean what was the intention of the original drawing - it's in the Never Built section so I'm assuming its based off of real blueprints?

Don't I at least get an A for fucking effort? :/
I can't draw that well. Draw me a better one if you don't like it.
The Victory class was my best attempt and it doesn't measure up to any of you good artists, but I at least tried instead of steal someone else's and write my name on it.

No, because from what I can tell, you took someone else's crap and moved it around a bit. That's not an A for effort.

Still sucks, but I did fix the problem with the Mk 41 and the Mk 13 mounting platform as was suggested. I'm not a shipbucket artist but I don't want to be a total failure.

No, you just attached my name to a stinking pile of fertilizer.

Was just trying to credit correctly.
