Ok, so I just got back from a drive, because I had to get out of the house.

Needless to say, I am disheartened. This is the second time I've had a friend stumble across not outright art theft, but something rather close.

If you want to use my ideas, great, please ask me first. I'll more than likely say yes.

I also know the subject matter of said work could be random, except who it's by is no fluke.

I am not naming names.

I feel this as a coming trend that I'm going to have to continue to deal with. It just makes me sad, because I thought the person was better than that.

Eiko, my snowgryphon character, is very dear to me. http://jahariia.deviantart.com/art/.....IP-2-137387658
She is basically the memory of my twin sister. This character is my memorial to her. I don't care if you rip off my other works, please, leave Eiko alone. This is how I grieve. I put a lot of work into my artwork, and I do think it shows. I feel insulted when someone comes in behind me and tries to take away what I've worked so hard for. I know that with growing popularity, comes trouble. I'm ready to deal with that. Please, don't take this final memory of my sister from me. It's all I have. Most of you have no idea what it's like to wake up and not remember your own sister. It's been so long since she's been gone. I don't know what she sounds like, and I barely remember what she looked like. Let me tell you, it's hell. So please, I'm begging you, don't take this last thing that I have of her.
