So it came to my attention that some wanker thought it would be fun to take my drawing here [link] and color it up and pass it as his own.

No credit given to me what-so-ever, with the slight exception that he has the original bookmarked in his faves.

Sorry, not good enough.

Now, I won't claim to have never colored another artists' image before, primarily back when I was still learning the ropes in Photoshop and practicing certain things, and it's just easier to find some line art and work on that, especially when you run out of your own work to color.

But, I never uploaded that stuff, never claimed it as my own. I certainly wouldn't do it without notifying and giving credit to the original artist.

I'll say I hate the idea of watermarks... they're just ugly, and detract from the image. I'd hate to have to start using them to deter this kind of thing.

Probably just shows I need to pay more attention to what's going on here on this site. Makes me wonder how many other copies are out there...
