Art Thieves, Rawr
College was cancelled today. Nice that I found that out after I'd come in XP Oh well, at least I'm warm at home now and don't have to do any work.
Remember the art thief I briefly mentioned yesterday? Who'd coloured my picture of the Cheshire Cat? I reported her, as did my friend, and her work was taken down.
Now she's come back at me saying the following:
First off i made this from the black and white line art you had made i did not say i made it i just filled it in and i dont care if you dont like it i worked very very hard on it and my mother even seen me make it and for you to say im stealing it is very childish im sorry if i made you mad somehow i seen you filled one in and mine was a darker purple and mine had strips on his ears i can see how you can make that mistake.
My first reaction to this was '...Has she heard of punction?'. Seriously, I can barely understand this thing! Second was 'Never bring your mother into an arguement'. Just makes her seem even more childish than she claims I am.
Ok, childish? What makes me childish about not wanting people to use my work without permission? If she'd asked me if she could colour it, or even given me credit, I would've been nicer. Because people have coloured my lineart in the past and I've been ok with it.
Next point, doesn't matter how hard you worked on it, or if you traced it or whatever, it's still my work you've used, and it's obviously my work. At the same time it also doesn't matter if you used different colours to what I eventually used, you still used my lineart.
This girl isn't one of my regular watchers on deviantART, so I don't know her that well. If I did, I've be a little more lenient to her, but she's just come out of the blue and used my work. Plus I think my usual 'fans' would be more considerate than her.
Bah, she says in her journal that she's gonna put it up again, along with the March Hare she's working on. Sounds very much like this lineart I posted, so I'm keeping an eye on her and reporting her if she uses it again, credit or not.
