This is happening way too much. I know it's going to happen, that scummy people are going to do this, but I really wish it would stop. I know it won't, but I wish it would.
So I am officially going to say this:
If you ever see my original characters or artwork of my original characters being used on F-List or Twitter, or any other site, and the people are claiming the characters belong to them, or that the art belongs to them, I CAN GUARANTEE YOU THEY DON'T. They are using my work and creations and characters WITHOUT MY PERMISSION.
I will NEVER give someone permission to Roleplay as one of my ORIGINAL CHARACTERS, or to use one of my characters for their own desires.
I'm talking about the people who take my original characters, then say that "This is my character, this is me!" That is, thieves/liars.
I'm not trying to start a wave of angry furs going after these people, more that I just want everyone to be aware of the situation, so that if you see one of these people, you'll instantly know that they're being an ass.
And to those people who are doing this, who are taking my own Original Characters and using them as well as the OC's of other artists and people:
Why in the world would you do this? You're only hurting yourself in the long run. You're taking something that someone put a lot of heart and effort into creating, and pretending it's yours so you can what, do ERP and jack off?
Just find someone who does commissions, or does requests, and get a picture of your own character. Make something of your *own* that isn't a cop-off or a steal of someone else's, and you'll have the toy of your dreams to play with and do all the ERP your weenies could ever handle, and then, nobody will get pissed off, nobody will come after you, nobody will have to get stressed or angry or raise a ruckus.
Please, be considerate of other people, and respect their property and creations. This may be the internet, but behind every screen name, there is a real person, and everything you do is still just as real as in real life. Actions have consequences, whether you believe it or not.

And sorry to hear it's happened to you as well. I don't think this will stop, ever, but eh... :T at least I got it off my chest x'D
Thanks, it's something I've been trying to combat, almost decided to remove all the art in my gallery to be honest it was so bad at one point. Very true, not something that will ever really stop, just gotta be quick to act when you find it. Hahaha, glad making a journal and talking about it makes you feel better. ( O u O)-b
If you ever want to talk more don't hesitate, I'm a big fan of your work and you're such a nice person ( O u O)-b
i hate character thieves, too.
Your characters are very easy to recognize, so i think people would know who's the liar.
I had this one loser who took a bunch of art of my sona and even took my name, then started his own LP video channel on YouTube, featuring my character in the intro screen.
Though art thieving is terrible, no matter what the character is.
*give you a hug* here here...
I hope you can bring some justice on them, if i see it around I'll tell right away X3
I'm still not fond of people posting my work without permission, but that doesn't bother me, really. It's kind of free advertisement!
It's actual character and art *theft* that I won't stand for.
And what you said there is just disgusting, about what that theif did to art, coloring them green and shit. Seriously, we need to start a petition to force Twitter to make a better report system, AND add art/character theft to the list of reports. :T
I know how that feels And it is so damn hard to make them stop, not to mention if you are not part of that website and it is hard to prove that you are the original creator -_-
