Thank you for responding to this as well as you did. This is always a bit of a touchy subject to bring up- I dread having to bring this up in most cases.

Anyway- those render sites aren't always very reliable. Many images are posted up there without the original artists ever knowing. It really doesn't hurt to do a quick check through deviantart, google, or other art sites to see if you can find the original artists to credit them. Also- it never hurts to search through DA for your images instead. You'd be surprised how many artists are willing to allow you to use their work with proper credit being given. I used to make a lot of banners- so I would know. (No, I was never good at it).

On that note, I did speak with PurpleKecleon to see if she was aware that you were using the images or not- I always check before I say anything. She asked the images to be removed unless credit is giving IN the image. I found some of the other images with a quick DA search- not all of them- and I'm unsure of how these artists would like to be credited or if they're okay with their images being used to begin with. Thought I'd link you to them though.

Thank you!
Although you've already contacted Purple Kecleon I went ahead and did so myself earlier. I will be in touch with the other artists as well. Feel free to PM me anymore links you find though as this is a bit off topic.

Decided to add some of my old random sketches. Some were done back before I had a tablet (with a mouse), some were created in very minimal programs (SketchbookExpress) and others were just sketches that took about 3 or so minutes to do!

Wow, I love those drawings! 8D Your pokemon are always really cute and the non-pokemon things are awesome too. c: That warrior girl looks pretty kickass. :3 I love the Halloween cosplaying banette too. xD The tape used to stick on the feet is hilarious. Your banners always look really professional and well done, so great job on those. :D Wondertastical job. c:

I have recently been working on a submission for an art contest. I do not believe I am done as I have not added final details to it but here it is with and without the background:

Let me know what you think of the background, I don't want anything to take away from the image itself but I guess I am kinda iffy about it. I will probably try a few things later as the submission date isn't until March 7th and it closed April 7th. I have a lot of time to think! :)

I like the background. Seems neutral enough to not take away from the focus of the picture. I think the shadow on bannette face needs a little work. It kind looks like its pushed in.

I really like its facial expression!
