So, I make wallpapers and collages.
And they are, apparently, good; good enough to be considered by some 'artists' a nice, umm, 'raw material' to cut, dye, blend and whatever else, and call the result their own work.

I know I'm on 'dodgy ground' here as being a manipper I use other photographers work all the time, but with finished artworks, where someone has taken the time and talent to create something new, and original is a totally different matter. This person should be ashamed o themseleves.

You are an incredible artist love, and your work both in the Buffy and Potter fandom is head and shoulders abouve anyone elses.
Idiot 'wannabe's'like this person are but dust beneath your feet. And if nothing else they will be quickly forgotten, whilst your work will live on in our fandoms for years to come.

What is it with the HP fandom? How often don't we find plagiarists there, fanfic and fanart too apperently. Maybe it's the fact that it has a lot of young fans? I don't know.
Is it ok if I ad you to my flist?

The ones that have would argue that since the images that we make our work from isn't our own, that it doesn't matter in the first place when it clearly does.
It's a sad day when people can't give credit where credit is due. I understand being jealous of someone's cabablities as and artist and wishing they were as good at it as another. But at no point is taking credit for something that you didn't make ever allowed.
Luv, I'm sorry this happened to you. You have my deepest sympathies as a fellow artist.
