well... i didnt know where to report this , so ill just make a little post about it :)


some days ago i logged inn to wow and some of my guildies asked me if I had entered some of my art to the Valentine card competition... well... I did NOT even know there were any competition...
They told me one of my drawings were in the "honorable mentions " section...
So i looked it up and there I see that someone has stolen and modified one of my drawings....
thats just F*****g rude !!! >:O


here are some links to both the pictures

ORIGINAL drawing: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/31354202/?qo=14&q=by%3Aonjedone&qh=sort%3Atime+-in%3Ascraps

STOLEN drawing: http://www.wow-europe.com/en/contests/valentine/winners.html
5th picture in the honorable mentions section

I got the sketches and original high res files for this drawing

I make a living of drawing, and i will not just stand by and look at people taking credit for MY work !!!

Q u o t e:
Shouldn't the OP get the reward that thief got? Imho he/she deserved it as it was his/her artwork that got a honorable mention.

Or was there no rewards for those? :)

Anyway, gief him/her Gurkypooh!

((And gief me Murky so my collection is complete :P))


The honourable mention is the reward for those drawings. And names are not included with them so basically the art got some "free advertising" if you will ;)

Q u o t e:
Friend and guildie of the offended here.

What happens to the person that ripped her off? Just curious what how these issues are delt with.
I just think it is totally respectless and low to copy like this and try to gain something from it.


If/When something happens we won't be sharing those details.

Q u o t e:
Keep on making the world prettier Resanne :D
