Sometimes it's really hard to tell when a DeviantArt user is uploading stolen art.





I'd never have known that was stolen if I hadn't recognized Paintpixel's work.

x.x photobucket is one of my banes. I hate having to file 'please remove my artwork' forms.

ohoh here's a good one. Someone stole one of my pictures once, then went into ms paint and scribbled clouds over my copyright info (it was int he sky). It was very pixelly and obviously iddn't match the pencils I'd used to do the drawing. So they posted it up and put 'collaboration with jessica douglas' in the description *snickers*

I haven't bothered, but it's all fanart. If they were posting my originals, I'd be more annoyed.

Hah! Once I was working with a con that got a picture of a rocket from Brad Foster (as in, they asked him for it) and they got me to draw little clouds of exhaust for it so when you flipped through the program book it looked like the rocket was taking off, and they also got me to color some of his work for our badges that year. I occasionally laughingly refer to myself as "collaborator with Hugo-award-winning artist Brad Foster" because of that, but dear God I'd never even attempt to do it in seriousness.
