In the last week, a number of people have brought to my attention that some of my artwork is being hosted by others on DeviantArt. Unlike the previous offender (who has since apologized and taken down the picture), they've credited to me, which is cool, but on a couple of occasions, the art being hosted has been a) a commission or b) art for mature audiences (which, as you know, is never left out in the open here on my LJ and is under password protection on Mudblood428.com).
Lucky for me, Vidalia got me a DA account for the express purpose of addressing this stuff. But, while I've never felt compelled to make a statement like this before, mostly because it didn't necessarily matter, the numerous indiscretions this week indicates that the following has to be said:
My artwork is not to be hosted elsewhere without my permission, (ESPECIALLY not the restricted stuff) and you may not manipulate, download or reproduce any of my work that has been watermarked as a Commission without the authority of the commissioner.
