My Gallery | Commissions | FAQ | Taxidermy | DDC

Been meaning to do this for several months now and some recent unpleasant discoveries as well as discussions with my friends finally made me get off my ass and do it.

All artwork concerning personal/original characters belonging to me have been hidden from my gallery and will remain in storage for likely this account's duration.

I'm at a pickle, of sorts: On one hand, I loathe loathe loathe "drama." Hate the word, hate what it entails, just hate it and wish to cause none of it. On the other hand, I am plagued literally daily with people tracing my artwork, claiming my own concepts as their own, stealing my linearts (I'll never understand this), creating rips of my characters - the whole nine yards. And I've held my tongue and turned a blind eye to these people because, as I stated, I don't like making mountains out of molehills. I know, I know - it's dog drawings on the internet. Who cares. And normally I'd agree, but after years of this I'm simply at my limit.

So I'm doing the logical thing and simply removing myself from the equation.

I'm not ragequitting DA or anything of the sort. I'll still be here, obviously, as I've left up all my artwork with characters who are nonspecific or not mine, as well as all my tutorials. This account is far too valuable to me, in terms of both commission income and communications, to deactivate or ditch.

Why even make a journal about it then? Just a proactive measure ;3 Since the last time I did this I was bombarded with HERP DERP WHAR'D UR ART GO comments. So this is just an explanatory caution, and I do hope you all take this in good faith and realize I am not blaming a single person in particular or trying to start a ruckus or whatnot... I'm just very, very tired. I pray that this doesn't turn into a journal full of "omgz i muss ur characters grr i hate thieves" comments because, well, those are ridiculous x3

One final thing (and probably the only other item of real importance): if for some reason I accidentally stored artwork I've done for you (like in a sketch dump, for instance) or you need a reference of one of my characters for a gift (and please understand here I am NOT asking for giftart in the least, this is just an issue that has come up) feel free to note me. But I won't link them for S's and G's. That ship has sailed x3


Thank you for those of you who read through my long-winded preachiness x3 Y'all are troopers I say. TROOPERS.
