I'm going into mega bitch mode right this second to say this;
All art theieves must die.
Die.
Die.
Die.
This is the second time I've gone on DA and had a note in my notebox informing me that art work of mine has been stolen.
The first time I was annoyed but I got past it.
But this time...
omg.
NO!
Because THIS particular very ballsy person took it upon themselves to steal my DA ID AND CLAIM MY FACE IS THEIR OWN.
Hell.
NO.
I'm not even slightly flattered at this.
I'm creeped out beyond words.
I mean COME ON ITS MY FACE FOR CRIPES SAKE.
MY FREAKIN FACE!
I sent a note to this person saying that they had about 0.5 seconds to remove my face from their profile or else I was going into super destructive mode and hacking into their computer and destroying every piece of technology they owned. (okay I didn't really but it was along those lines).
And heres the kicker; this person actually had the BALLS to get pissy with me and claim that I was lying and I was the one that stole THEIR art.
Uhhhh...excuse me?
It was right about this time I said; What fucking planet/alternative reality are you from where you think you can get away with stealing someones self portrait and then claim that it's really your face when the actual OWNER OF SAID FACE is about ready to stab you in the throat?
My answer?
A very far off distant one where the rules of common decency and copyright laws apperently don't apply.
Oh my god did I report their asses. About 80 times.
Finally after about an hour the admins finally got to the person and now that PROBABLY REALLY UGLY UGLY UGLY PERSON has a very nice '!' next to their name .
Cuz shockingly (not) everything and I mean EVERYTHING in this persons gallery was stolen.
That person should burn in hell for all eternity. If I'm lucky enough I'll get to light the fire under their asses and watch them melt....

Oh and this persons claim once they finally admitted defeat against my verbal regin of terror? "It was submitted as stock as well so I figured no one would care."
Um EXCUSE WHO? I clearly state in the artists comments that it was MY ID and that there we're very strict rules that needed to be followed among the top ones being; It must be manipulated in someway, I must have CREDIT and A LINK back to the orginal oh yeah and NOT TO CLAIM AS YOUR OWN YOU SLIMY BITCH.

Her reply: Well maybe you shouldn't have such strict rules.

My reply: Oh well why don't I just waste my time and talent, take pictures and do photomanipulations(which I spend days on) and just give them to you since you obviously think you have some sort of godly right to other people's work. I won't even waste the effort putting MY artwork on MY account. You deserve my art for all your hard work. You truly do.

And to be honest what pissed me off the most was the fact that my ID had more favs on that leechers account than it did my own. Damn it all to hell.

And this is why from now on each and every photomanip and picture will have a virtually UNREMOVEABLE watermark on it. I'm no amature in photoshop. If you want to steal my artwork from now on you're going to have HELL trying to remove my watermark without making a big MUDDY mess, which I doubt any art theif will be able to do properally anyways because lets face it; if they were good at photoshop they wouldn't steal other peoples stuff in the first place.

So yeah sorry for the long ranty journal...I was just seriously po'ed.
And believe me guys; if this person's account was still active (I thought it would take days to get the admins to delete the account. I guess reporting the deviation with a million different accounts and sending lots of pissed off letters gets them moving pretty quickly) I would SERIOUSLY send you guys to flame and hate on that person with everything you had.
So bygones be bygones I guess. But the next person who steals something so....personal...will seriously have their eyes assulted (from my verbal abuse), their self esteem smashed into the ground, and they will be fearing for their very lives.
:bows:
And omg if someone ever steals my writing, they will fear the very day that their exsistance was even THOUGHT of. BeCaUsE. I. WiLl. KiLl. ThEm. BrUtAlLy. WiTh. LoTs. Of. ShArP. PoInTy. ObJeCtS. And possibly fire and electricty will be creativly incorperated. But I can promise there will be blood. Lots of it.

Oh a happier note
I have a few manips I'm working on and will have posted soon not to mention some updating chapters (hopefully). I also have a very awesome short story bit I wrote with ~saberdog05 that has to do with our awesomely story. Look for it because you will be blown away.
