Verification record · sample

Jess Harrington

3D-printable miniatures, sculpted in Blender. This is a sample entry — not a real person. It shows exactly what every real record will contain.

Witness statement

In my own words, signed

“I, ⟨witness: Tihomir or Chris Joubert⟩, personally witnessed ⟨creator name⟩ making the work ⟨work title⟩ during a live screen-sharing session on ⟨date⟩. I saw the working files and the process directly, confirming no generative AI was used in the finished work.”

The record

Work	⟨work title, e.g. “Forest Guardian miniature, v1.2”⟩
Person	⟨name⟩ — ⟨their site or shop⟩
Verified on	⟨date⟩
Method	Live video session, screen share of the working files, recorded process clip
SHA-256 of file	⟨e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855⟩
Certificate	certificate.asc — plain text, clear-signed (public key)

Process clip

A short recording from the session with the hand at work.

Check this record yourself

Download the file you want to check from the maker's own page.
Hash it: sha256sum file on Linux or Mac, or certutil -hashfile file SHA256 on Windows.
Compare it with the hash above. If they match, you are holding the exact file that was verified.
To confirm the certificate is really ours, import the key (gpg --import publickey.asc), check that gpg --fingerprint Aletheia prints 434F 64B7 9E9A 22F0 087E 2FFE AD37 9A30 2A05 EC52 and then run gpg --verify certificate.asc.

Good signature from "Aletheia"

The “not certified with a trusted signature” warning that follows it is normal and expected here is why. The line that should worry you is this one:

BAD signature

That means the certificate was altered after it was signed. Do not trust it, and please tell us where you found it.

Some platforms refuse SVG. PNG versions of the badge are published at /badges/badge-120.png, badge-240.png and badge-512.png — use the 240 for retina screens at 120 px wide.

Wherever the badge appears, it must link back to a record on this site. A badge that links nowhere proves nothing, and a badge nobody can follow is just a picture.
