@Aroxy I agree! It just gets annoying by then. Maybe the person wouldn't mind their art being used anyway. If it does bother the original artist, then the person who used it will hafta do something else. :D

Ah, I'll be on the lookout! : D
This might be helpful: Tineye - searches for pictures on the internet that are like the ones you have have searched.
Very useful for art theft, I must say.

The links were not working for me, but I mean I have a character named Awiti who I have used for many years and now on this site someones username is awiti so long as thier character doesnt look like mine I dont see why the same name thing is a big deal? I don't think stealing art is good but if the original artist is credidted(sp) or asked to use it maybe we shouldnt jump to comclusions so quick folks =/

@Aroxy; As an artist myself, I feel it is my duty to correct you. It is not 'so rediculous'. It's justice. In real life, it is literally ILLEIGAL to take someone's work and claim it as your own. You can be sued, fined, and/or put in prison. It's called plagiarism, and it's a real issue, especially on the internet. So if you find this over the top, I would say you need to step back and just be glad that no one is stealing YOUR artwork. Yet.

I didn't really want to make this my signature, but... this thing is scarily accurate.

Nyla, you're my friend so I respect what you have to say; Yes, it is illegal, but so is umm.. speeding, underage drinking, smoking.. the list goes on and on, and how many people do you see speeding, drinking when they are 16 years old, smoking ciggarettes when they aren't 18.. Yeah, it's the law, and yeah, you can go to jail for a lot of things that are illegal, but even the police cannot stop people from breaking it. Plagiarism is a huge deal, you're right, you can get in a lot of trouble for doing it. But i think you should leave that up for the people who's job it is to deal with it.

Sometimes the artist doesn't know there art is stolen, so it's our job to contact the artist, find out if it was free to use, and if not report the post and let the mod remove it.

Actually that stolen artwork is http://liberatedliberator.deviantart.com/ work, she commissioned it sketched by another artist and finished it herself. That might be why you see more then one drawing.

I've been reading through this thread- and I'd like to point something out-

I'm not trying to be offensive or anything, but there is a quote I remembered hearing when I was a little girl....

"Imitation is the highest form of flattery,"
