Haha, thanks dude, I've listened to Megadeth since I was a child so I wouldn't give a shit or something which is copied from any other work (of course similarity can always happen, but you know how it is). Cheers!
Megadeth would give a shit about being sued for copyright infringement though,
which is why I'm mentioning all this. Dave should keep an eye open when picking
the winner. The designs I'm talking about are not copied from- or "a bit too influenced" by
other submissions here on Deviant Art, but from a very famous movie character,
a popular american comic book and an extremely popular manga and anime series.
I mean, for all I know there could be a Teenage Mutant Vic Turtle in there too,
and while the artist could, perhaps truthfully, claim that any similarities are coincidental,
Peter A. Laird and Kevin B. Eastman might not really care for such excuses.
We need to keep in mind that the winning design will be on an album cover,
possibly on posters, t-shirts, etc. People will see it. If it's a plagiarized design,
there will be people to notice this too, and this could mean serious trouble for
Megadeth as well as the Deviant Art member who submitted it, unless Megadeth
owns the DA design and takes full responsibility for it.

Now I clearly understand what you mean. And I must agree with it.
I hope that my stuff is away enough from that suspection (I mean the world famous characters). For ex.: comic books aren't my first interest, so I'm not sure if in some of them you can find character little bit similar to my version of Vic.
You know, I think that Megadeth wants to have an idea to go straight with some new look, but this designs you have here will not be used as a raw stuff from DA, but like a start for future Cover/Layout work. Then I could do anything with my stuff, because I'm not a beginner in jobs like that.
Thanks for your words!
