Leaping Forward
So way back in the year 2013 I commissioned this piece from the artist credited in the picture. It was VERY personal, and something deeply rooted in my self worth and Identity at the time.
When I uploaded this sometime later, the artist Messaged me in private, demanding that I take it down. That only They had the right to upload work they created.
At the time I was an anxious depressed wreck so I complied because I was scared of backlash.
Today though I was reminded of this piece. And I realized, I paid money for this. These characters are mine. Nothing in this image belongs to anyone else. The artist's sole credit and rights are that they created the image, and that they may or may not use it to promote themselves.
So today I am uploading this. And It will stay here this time. Because this piece was a core point in my life, of great worth to me. And It has been sitting in a folder on a flashdrive for almost 9 years barely touched and unseen by anyone.
Bruyaglovae (right), Azhnevan (middle) and DeVout (Left) belong to me.
Credit to artist is in the art. just look.
You can see where my Username comes from.

I've experienced something similar, although it had to do with my relationship with the artist in question souring and them demanding that I take down all of their art. (That I paid for.)
I rightly told them to go shove it and kept the art up. If you pay for it, it's yours.
