Comment on DayDreamingOtaku's profile
Aww... Well, people do relate to familiarity more often than change. Which reminds me of that comment Hayao Miyazaki made about the current state of the anime industry: (Something along the lines of) "otaku are making anime for other otaku instead of stories for the everyman." I will admit though, it feels awesome when you find a hidden gem of media that later on becomes widely popular~ You'll have your day.
Why, yes, I believe we met under those circumstances. My jimmies do get rustled whenever I see art theft and the user has the nerve to accept praise for it... But then I realize that they'll never get anywhere by just blocking me and continuing what they're doing. And neither will I if I dwell on the negativity of the encounter. I just have to keep practicing and leave them in the dust~

Take is easy, we don't need to hide our guestbooks from our "fans" at least. On the fault are also the peers, not being able to differ a scanlation from member-made digital art. I also use scans as resource material and working with them since 6 years made me able to recognize one in seconds.
Unfortunately this is a drop in the ocean, whole DA is now full of scans, renders and stolen art from Pixiv. The fun will start when Pixiv will take action, cause they do that and in hard way.
We also used to have some wallpapers based on pixiv art and we needed to take them off despite that we credited them in full and only the characters where used. Luckily I never had any.
