*scratches head*
I'll try my best to turn it into 'freak out'. That was actually... sort of what I meant to do initially. Ahaha... xD;
The dA watermark was for theft prevention. The completed piece I'll send you won't have any watermarks on it. o3o

rofl I only do that for big price commissions, the other images in my gallery doesn't have them, other than my self watermark on a few.
It's not so bad now, I noticed. Or it may still be the same, just not as noticeable as compared to last time.

What do you mean noticeable? I hardly ever here about it.

lol Back then, I used to get journals and encounter art thefts at least 3 times a year. That was the first 3 years after I joined dA, though. I barely hear about it now, yes.

lol It happened to me twice.
But the 2nd incident was an epic FAIL for the thief. In the gallery, there were images (given they were all lines and pencil), but done in such different styles that I have to really wonder how some people couldn't tell. >.>

Morning ^^ How's everyone today?
As far as I know no one has stolen any of my work, just using it without permission o3o. Half of them have credited me, the other half credited me when I asked them to XD
I've caught several art thieves though o3o

Art theft is a real shame!
My art has never been stolen so far; it's simply not good enough.

That incident was 5 years ago, actually. xD
Used without permission, I don't really remember. Most I've seen nicely credit, and I don't really mind if they were used for references (for those who order OC art from me, that is).
Usually when I find the art thieves, they have already been found, so... xD
Mythic is quite the art thief police.
