Ugh. Our lawyers are trying to do their job and protect our trademarks but I guess they didn't realize this wasn't a commercial project and they fired off a standard form letter. It is unfortunate when this happens but the problem with trademarks is you HAVE to protect them and Emilio's work looks so amazingly professional, right down to a cool package!, that they probably failed to notice this was a one-off gift for non-commercial use. What we need to do is come up with some sort of permission letter for things like these so that we're properly protecting our future commercial rights but not stopping people from doing cool fan art like this.
Way to go Mark. *Gives Mark a soft punch to the arm*
On behalf of Epic I apologize to Emilio and anyone who was offended by this.

Of course, Emilo's work looks good. He's a professional artist. He does a webcomic (Terranova) and works on some animated TV shows.
