Searching through Google i found a AO fan made cover art.

I don't know who made it but its a shame theres no template. i really wanted to use it.

thats a really nice find, but i think this may be against the rules as it isn't your own work, and you can only post work you have done yourself in FC.

sorry about that. if i'm mistaken, ignore me.

I was going to put it in Oddworld Discussion but its made by a Fan so i thought Fan Corner. Could a Mod move it to Oddworld Discussion Please.

3. Only post your own work
Please do not post anything made by another person, whether they are another member, someone you know in real life or a person with a deviant art account that you looked out and went 'Whoa, that's really good! I should post that on Oddworld Forums!' You can encourage them to join OWF if you think they’re really that good.
If you didn't make it, DO NOT post it.

Assistant, you are not mistaken. The posting of anyone's work but you're own is stated against Splat's official Fan Corner rules.
However, I personally see little reason why posting someone else's material should be a problem just so long as you don't take credit for it.
You can probably get yourself even closer to the clear by asking that person permission and or giving them credit (a link to where you find the work should be appropriate for this).

Crashpunk, that is indeed an awesome cover and if you give me the dimensions for a PlayStation game case (preferably in pixels) I will consider replicating it in template form.

Basically, the reasoning is the 'artists rights', 'creative property'; the right to distribute something belongs with the author, and so it's the creators choice to have something reproduced. I'm thinking right now of Sl'Askia asking AlexFili to take down fanart based on her stories; it's her stuff and up to her if it gets shown. Just an example and perhaps not relevant, but yeah, I think you should ask the author before posting this. His website details is just visible there if you want to try and decode it.

If you get permission from him, PM me and I'll unlock this.
