Does this make sense?

Fri May 9, 2008, 5:59 AM

First off, why the hell do people go out of their way to steal my old, shitty, badly-drawn fanart of shows nobody watches anymore? Can anyone explain this to me? I've got all kinds of new art in my gallery for people to look at, but whenever an art thief comes along, they always take my godawful Shaman King fanart. What the hell. Do you think this is actually going to make you popular? Posting art that most Shaman King fans already saw in MY gallery two years ago? Why not steal art that is actually worth stealing? Or, better yet, actually try to draw your own stuff. Is that really so goddamn hard? Here are the pieces for comparison:

And yes, I reported it. DA decided that no action needs to be taken because it's "legitimate fan art", whatever that means.

I found the loop hole to the whole starving artist thing... I work in a kitchen ^_^ they like to feed me.

w. t. f? o_o
so, what? .. 'fanart' of /your/ work, then?
right, makes sense. e_e

this honestly makes me nauseous. I'm sorry that people are so dumb.

did you contact the 'artist'?

Just with my really terrible old art, actually.

I don't think anyone's taken any of my Naruto fanart, or any of my original work.

Yeah really, I was wondering if they meant fanart of my work. XD

I left a comment on her deviation, hopefully she'll get the idea and take it down. She copied a couple other works of mine, but I don't have them in my gallery anymore so I can't prove that I did mine first. =_=

But still, it seems to be happening to you a fair bit.

=_=; Ive had the same problems. Whenever someone steals a joke but "redraw" or change the picture, DA wont do anything for me. Ugh.. it makes no sense at all

This is a real shame and maybe you should just tell DA to get this DA artist banned for stealing your artwork. GRRRRRRR!
*I haven't had a problem like this with my artwork anyways.*
