Yes, that was mine, haha! Thank you for letting me know.. I usually don't mind if folks display my artwork for use on other websites like Youtube or Twitch, I just ask that proper credit is given. JA-punkster is my screen name over on Deviantart, and on the original drawing above I have my watermarked signature in the bottom corner along with my dA and tumblr address. So hopefully they've credited me correctly, but if not, I may have to send them a gentle reminder. ^^

However, one thing that I won't tolerate are art thieves that steal art to sell on merchandise and other things. Unfortunately I have had the displeasure of dealing with these situations from time to time, and that is why I have resorted to resizing some of my artwork that I feel may become targets, as well as adding additional watermarks. This is why creating art can potentially be both a blessing and a curse. But I won't let stuff like that stop me from doing what I love to do.

Thank you for enjoying my art as always! I will have plenty more to post in the future! =)

Haha, it's no worries. Once I saw that I was like "wait, hopefully it's not stolen..." So I had to make sure. I cross referenced the picture in the video, saw they linked a dA page I hadn't seen before and checked it out. I did see a few other images you posted here so I assumed it was right, but I wanted to make sure. I heard there's been a lot of scammers and those stealing lately claiming art as their own. Most recent being someone by the name of PJM-Guy. This it the link to the video just in case you were curious. Spoil tagging just in case those who haven't played PMD EoS or seen the image don't want Explorer of Sky spoilers. I just wasn't sure if you were okay with your dA being posted. So I made sure not to post it or say it just in case. :)

Spoiler:

Man that's still an awful thing. To have someone steal someone's creation and sell it like that. I'm sorry to hear that. Those watermarks are a very nice idea now. It's good many artists are starting to use them to help prevent just that. Oh and totally! Your artwork is incredible! Always looking forward to more! :D

Aww, well thank you very much for that.. I do appreciate it! And actually, that video looks really familiar.. I believe that I have ran across it once before! It looks like they left the whole image intact, which is good. Sometimes there are those that crop out my signature in order to suit their needs, and then it comes down to making sure they are responsible for crediting the artist, at the very least. So many people don't unfortunately, so it can be super frustrating - and not just for me, but for all other artists as well...

Yeah, it truly is a shame. You have to be super cautious nowadays, thieves are getting smarter about it. But that is why I am trying to fight back and do all I can to prevent such things.. I have a few tricks up my sleeve! And I have those that follow me to help keep an eye out for anything suspicious and to let me know right away if something doesn't seem right. I don't have eyes everywhere so I really appreciate any and all help! ;v;

Meh, sorry to hear people have been stealing your art. :(

And yeah, I've had stuff stolen as well and people who have tried to sign up as me on another site (one tricked the admins so much so that it was enough to get themselves modded @.@). Thing is, I don't even mind if people use my art, just as long as they don't claim they made it, because that's just lying. But yeah, good idea to watermark your stuff, because while it isn't foolproof, it at least they'd have to go through a lot of trouble to paint over it and not everyone even has the skill or software to pull it off. Thankfully, most people don't try and it's usually a good signal to others that you don't want them using it without your okay.

I'm glad to see that hasn't deterred you from continuing to make amazing and beautiful art pieces. Once again, thanks for sharing the incredible fruits of your skills, creativity, and imagination. :)
