    what if you just cut a circle and square ? - by that picture it looks like the machine is zigzagging on angles - X and Y is not moving at a steady rate simultaneously - bad control board or faulty motor calibration

    if it doesn't do that on other designs then it could be really bad vector art

    not enough time to do all the glass - basically all I did was draw a bunch of rectangles and lines (and a few curves) in corel draw - then combine them - then contour them to the outside and then to the inside - to give them some thickness and join them all together

    Nice job wow..

    Ok what was the steps you took and or software did you use to get that ?

    Thanks - Hi everybody - I always start by creating a nice new drawing in photoshop with a pen on a cintiq - like in this vid - my elbow can just draw things like that somehow - I don't think very far ahead

    in this case the face was not legible so first step was to get that sorted - then it was all downhill from there -

    once I get a clean image - then I can do a clean raster to vector conversion - then I use corel to finish up the vectors, add borders, etc...

    I never use raster to vector software without first drawing a very clean and sharp image to work with

    I recently became aware that there is such a thing as a design trademark, as used by Glock firearms, to cover the shape of their handguns

     

    search "glock design trademark"

     

    as for how forcefully that could be applied like copyright to artwork that resembles the shape is a grey area,

     

    I personally doubt it can be applied to "similar" non-competing artwork

     

    but if they wish to litigate the issue, that could be a very expensive argument to try to win

     

    normally, a design trademark is very specific such that only some small portion of a similar shape would be at issue

     

    such that they should have a very specific complaint as to how the artwork overlaps the trademark

     

    if not, write back, "your complaint is ambiguous, please clarify, meanwhile no action will be taken"

     

    do not dismiss it or "wait for a court order" or "call their lawyer", that would be risky if they are not bluffing, and not a good way to handle a potential legal issue, it's best to confer in writing and stay focused on facts.

     

    based on your description it is hard to imagine a "private seller" having a "trademark" infringed by an image of a weapon sending a C&D with any merit, but I'm speculating...
