I never knew my next update would be about this... I was planning to start posting my "monthly updates" beginning from February (which nobody really needs to know because it's super-outdated), but I guess there's something more urgent to tend to now.
Title explains everything.
Many thanks to my friend john3:16 for the heads-up. Some wise-ass called Sakurachan07 from deviantART posted a handful of my stuff into her gallery. Not only am I pissed off, I'm also really scared now because this puts me into really deep shit.
So why am I in deep shit? Simple. If you take a good look at my gallery in dA, you'll notice that they contain just a few of my old junk. The art thief probably didn't know that I have an account in dA and went around submitting some of my more recent (if you can call those recent) fanarts into her gallery.
In other words, she outran me! x_x
There're already so many people who've commented on those stolen artworks and they've all- amazingly- been fooled even though my signature was right smack there in some of the stolen stuff -_-
Now this is where I need your opinions on how I deal with this matter. I know the easy way out is to report her and the stolen fanarts would be taken down sooner or later, but... I'm afraid that once I post the same pics into my gallery in the future, those who commented on the pics before without realising they were stolen would report me for stealing my own artwork instead!
Oh noes, what should I do? T-T
For starters, to those who have an account in dA, please do NOT go reporting her yet, or worse, warn her about it (she might simply take down her stuff and get away with it all!). Please let me deal with this myself, hopefully with some helpful advice from you guys. Some of the stuff in her gallery seem to be stolen from other artists as well but sadly I don't know who they are.
Ah crap... this is what I get for not submitting my artworks fast enough. Due punishment for the super procrasticator...
Going off topic, college is getting more difficult to cope with lately and end-of-year exams are about 2 months away, so I'd rarely be around to comment on your updates these coming months. Sorry about that. And I apologise again to people whose updates I have missed out on.
