Leaving deviantArt.
I've posted my journal on my main account - Ari-Dynamic.
Art Thief: Firedoggy14
Despite me reminding this user numerous times to take down comics in which my art has been stolen and lifted from, the user Firedoggy14 decided to go against my wishes and put them all back again - this time claiming that Stackercoat, a user who's long since been IP banned from the website - was the artist.
Two of those panels are lifted directed from a comic I did with the client Biz-Mark and are paid commissions I was tasked with doing, which you can find below. I've gone ahead and filed a report to deviantArt staff, because I take my artwork and all the hard work that goes into them no matter what very seriously. This could all be avoided if my name was credited into the picture, but I guess me being a nice guy and politely asking him to take it down initially clearly didn't translate well. I normally don't ask my viewers to "bully" a user but I have to deal with these kinds of users often, however I feel if we make our voices loud enough, these deviantArt users will start creating some original material instead... as opposed of just slapdashing stuff together and claiming it as theirs. So yes, if you feel inclined to contact them, I say do it. Otherwise, I hope this user is fully aware of what may come.
Contest ends at the end of August! If you're into 'totem pole trench' and it's subject matter, we're hosting a contest with a $50 USD grand prize and a shoutout on the TPT youtube channel for 2nd and 3rd place prize winners! :)
FurAffinity kinda announced a policy change that effectively made them shoot themselves in the foot.
I don't think I have anything that would get me in trouble, but if push comes to shove I guess this is my temp FurAffinity-inspired kink art hub that I'll be working towards until FA figures it's shit out.
