myOtaku.com: whtdragon


Wednesday, May 17, 2006


something's been erking me for a little bit:
someone has been taking some of my drawings, redrawing them exactlly, or in some cases even tracing them, and posting them back up on the otaku. While some of them do say "Inspired by whtdragon" It's in no way "Inspired" if one has traced the exact same image as mine. It also annoys me that they have been taking my characters, drawing them, and then just changing some details to make a slightly different character. (though you can clearly see were they got the orginal idea from) "mimicry is the greatest form of flatterty" as the saying goes, but I still can't help but feel alittle angred that they have been taking my hard work, and using it as their own. I'm not saying that I don't like it that people use my ideas, or designs, but I'd at least like a little more credit than this, or at the very least my permission to do this. On a side note, I have reported the images that they have traced from, yet they still have some images that weren't exactly traced, but is basically my work that has just been "repackaged" to look like something else. I would like to say to those that have been doing this: please do not steal anymore of my drawings. If you are going to, at the very least acknowlege that the original work was mine, and that you did not come up with the ideas.
