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. :)

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;
