    I never realized people could find my artwork simply by Googling my username... I don't know whether to feel weird or what. It's kinda creepy how that works, but I think it's great that you made this post on finding out whether someone's stolen your artwork or not. Thanks for this useful info! (Just checked for my own artwork, relieved I'm not a victim of art theft.)

    ^O^ Amazingly EPIC post. You've got some bloody useful information here. I've written some posts awhile back about art thieves and plagiarism. It is a problem. I'll try what you mentioned above to see if mine or any other Otaku member's work has been stolen. Thanks for sharing this.

    I think this method is really helpful, and I was able to find one drawing so far that is posted on a couple of site never posted on, I'll work on getting those down somehow.

    Whoa. I know the internet is all connected and everything, but it's just weird to think my artwork is just "hanging" out there. Kinda creepy.

    Thanks for the tip! d=3=b

    Really? You did? xD I wasn't sure at first cause I was scared to deal with that DMCA Act, but then I remembered it's not like I'm lying or anything, lol.

    Hmm, I think I'll leave it be since I'm too lazy to deal with another one and it's not like they have a description place to give me credit in the first place. :P

    Yeah, I found it. At least you reported it. So that's good. ^^
    Hope it shall get taken down soon.

    O_O uhhh, I'm not really sure to be honest. You could try to report it? Maybe?

    I decided to follow those steps just for the fun of it...and found one of my wallpapers stolen- my recent one, "Eternal Sonata". >.>
    I quickly contacted the website, though. Luckily, they have a pretty good system to deal with stolen wallpapers. :D
    Oh, by the way, if you find something of yours on zerochan, does that count as art stealing?
