[link] Somebody nice send me a message telling me there was a heavily edited picture of mine floating around the internet. As you can see, the picture (which may not be a masterpiece, but still took quite a lot of time and effort) has been turned into complete RUBBISH by some kind of retard that, on top of all, managed to remove the watermark.

I just don't understand why people don't have any respect for artist's rights and for the effort that has been made to complete any kind of artwork. I guess next time I submit a picture I'll have to design a huge, undestroyable watermark to keep that kind of idiots away from my artwork.

I'm just tired of people using other people's art without permission, runing it with awful edits (as they don't even know how to use photoshop)and showing the resulting SHIT on message broads, forums, rpgs and so on.
If you want an illustration for you own purposes, fucking draw it yourself! or just try asking for permission!


And the saddest part is that this is something we cant prevent, as everyone does what they want on internet.

Just needed to vent

PS: I wish I could find this guy and have a nice talk with him ><
