You know something that really bothers me, when someone uses another's artwork without asking. Well today I came across just that, my OWN artwork by someone else. Now I won't mention names but I find it very troublesome when I see my artwork used for someone else. However, the person had said it was an otaku artist that drew it and she just redid it. From that point right there, she knew the Otaku Artist and did NOT give me credit for it. She never even bothered to ask if she could use it. I would have said yes because a few of my friends have colored my line arts. I have no problems with it if please just ask.

Now others said who drew this particular piece which was me and they had mentioned it was a reference. I will admit my drawing for a line art was a reference picture but I still took the time to draw it (many artists reference their stuff so please do not give me any bull about that). You can see many of my marks on it or some of the same format because this artist touched up my work. It doesn't matter if my picture was a reference or not because I still drew it and was never asked to have them color it. I realize they have better coloring skills than I do due to having more opportunities and supplies but still. I actually think she did another of my line arts as well and just added a bit more to it. It looks so close to mine which started my watching this artist a bit more. I am not sure what I should do. Well, that's my rant. Just my feelings are very much hurt right now.
