I don't know if any of you have ever felt like this, but I've been feeling really unmotivated on posting new art here, since I noticed the more effort I put on it, the more people are plagiarizing me and even taking more credit for it than I do.
I never really bothered how much favorites or views I got for a deviation, but it really started to annoy me once I found people really close to me copying MY ideas/concepts/subjects, and getting credit on something that's not theirs and this is SO NOT NICE. Not to mention the time I found the exact copy of a drawing of mine posted by this person on another website. (:
Anyways, it's not something I feel like I should deal with, not even naming anyone, 'cause I think each one here should respect one another and concern doing what's yours. Inspiration is one thing. Using other people's style/symbols/characther concepts is ANOTHER, not even mentioning the fact it's good to credit your inspirations. Art is something so personal, so before you go out there posting something you claim to be yours, remember the effort the REAL artist had to do so, and respect it.

I know I don't usually post here, but I really needed to get this out of my chest, and I know some of you will understand what I said, 'cause probably you've experienced the same problem...

I don't know when I'll be posting again, I haven't anything new, college and work has been taking almost all of my free time, not to mention the books I have to read.

Weell, that's it! Kisses to all you guys, I really love you, oh. *emotional moment* ;___;//~~ *swings handkerchief cheerfully*
