Gorgeous card, as usual, I love the way you modified the background and the colors, it's like you brought the image to life. And I'm also happy to know you're OK now, it'll take a while for things to settle down, though I'd like to give those "friends" an e-slap upside the head for listening to only one side.

OMG!I don't know if I said anything wrong!O_O Please,forgive me if I said something that hurt you,Ritona-san!T^T
But I could never say something so bad of a wonderful friend as you!
During this time,I really missed you!;_; And is so nice see you back!~
Anyway,your card is pretty!~ > w <
Loved the image!Looks so real!~~~ That's colorful and amazing!* w *
Wonderful text too!>///<
Keep up the awesome work and good luck in the challenge!XD
First, I'd like to say sorry if I said anything that offended you... I was really sad that you were banned. But I think I had a misunderstanding in your post so I had the thought you were a bit of a rebel. But then when you made a new post and said about notifications, things have finally cleared down and I understand what your situation was during those times. Now that you're back, I'm really happy especially since I can enjoy more of your works.
Second, epic card!!!! :O I never had the confidence to use Benjamin's works because they're too awesome.... Nice quote and the image fits well.
I was in all opinions when you were banned... XD
I thought that, if you did as they say, you indeed deserved it but I was also really sad to lose a great artist like you. Finally, I even said in a comment that it was after all theO's fault for not being as clear as they should have been... >__<
It was very confusing and it seems now normal since it was a misunderstanding.
Anyway, who cares about my confusion ? xD This is a really nice card, I love the way you used that wonderful picture of Benjamin. The typography looks perfect here <3
Alright, so if the artist was only an illustrator in a collab art book (like Pixiv Girls Collection), and only has one published image, then other images by that artist that were not published shouldn't be used?
If the artist published a manga, Miwa Shirow for example, she has Pixiv and the manga DOGS, then it's ok to use any of her art at Pixiv. Same goes with artists who published an artbook.

Yeah, I hope the PM system gets all the glitches worked out. I was only reported on a few cards, but deleted a majority of my gallery to be on the safe side. I made sure to do my homework on official stuff.
By the way (for future reference), say I used an image that is by an official artist, however that image is not an 'official' scan. Would it still be usable since the artist is published? That's the one thing I've been getting confused over.
It happened to me too to not get a PM for dedications. I didn't know the PM system was so messed to not get 2 PMs from SunfallE. Glad it's fixed now. But I have to sympathize with your early Pixiv use, I removed lots of my gallery items too since the rules weren't as clear back then. Hopefully after this drama weeks they will.
And even more hopefully users will put their big girl panties on and stop using fanart out of spite >___>#

Oh well, thanks for letting me know I was using fan art, I guess. And no, I was never notified about any of this. The entire situation was explained in my blog post (x). Also, thanks for the compliment on my work.
I was honestly one of the people who thought you deserved the ban since I knew the situation. With this opinion unchanged I was still glad to see you back because I do think you have talent and you can work your magic on official scans as well. I'm not sure now whether you did or didn't receive any of the warnings you were given, but you still used fanart, plenty. Bottom line, I'm happy you're back with a clean gallery and that you're now making cards again. Other opinions aside, there's one that will never change, I think you're the best card maker here ^3^
I love Benjamin's art. <333 SO much. <333 You did a gorgeous job with this card...so lovely...and the message, awesome. I know. I was so hurt when you told me that they were saying those things...like I said, I missed that post, so I didn't see the comments. I'm glad I didn't. I'd feel just as hurt, and I would want to punch them all in the faces. Like I told you before, when I mentioned your ban...I, too, got a lot of those "she deserved it" comments, which is bull. -__- I am glad you're over all this though. *hugs* You're a wonderful friend, and I'm glad you're back to share more of your stunning art with us. <333
I didn't want to comment on the post notifying us all of your ban, because I couldn't stand to see all the negative comments. :/ I thought it was most likely a misunderstanding, and if you had actually kept using fan arts deliberately, my opinion of you still wouldn't have changed. xD It's good to see you back! (:

Hey now man, i said nothing bad.
I personally LOVE your works. when i heard you were banned i was like "well shit! that just sucks, i really like Raito's works."
So i didnt say anything bad, honestly O_O
This is really beautiful. I am so envious of your skills to transform something simple into something beautiful :) I am sorry people felt that way about your ban. It really sucks since, like you said, you couldn't do anything and were defenseless. Excellent job and take care
I just wanna say that I'm sorry if I said anything that offended you. I had no clue of what had happened exactly, and I was saddened to see you gone, so I don't think I said anything. Because, I never felt it was your fault *hates sounding like a suck up*
It is so great to have you back and making amazing works like these *HUGS*

Yes. If it's just one image published it doesn't make the artist official (unfortunately XD)
