I found this one site through a World post from someone else. The site is TinEye. You can upload your art there and the site will search for pictures that look similar. Pretty useful, I think.
Call it karma. Call it luck. Me, I just don't give a... BOUNCE!
Thankyou for your support, Werner! I don't think the theif was from theO though... it was on another website which is a relief! I'm glad that this stuff rarely happens on theO, but I know of people who found their art taken from here and posted on DA or something! Its totally wrong, and it would be great if we could all keep our eyes out for each other! :D Thankyou!
Yeah, its crazy eh? Thats good that your friend pointed it out to you! Yes, I hope that we'll all be alert for each other even more now^^
Thats a great idea! Except I'm only on theO. But I know other people are on other sites.... How about everyone posted their account links in their own profiles? I think I'll mention that our members should do that! It would be good if everyone could do it, cuz of the reason you said. Thanks!

I agree with you my friend this is not fair to the members here on theO..Jen you sould tell Adam about this sure he can figure out how to stop someone from coping other peoples art...
I've seen this alot back in the MyOtaku days were members post other member's art as their own..On this site..Adam putt a stop to that but seems like people don't listen very well..If i see someone do this i will report that member to Adam..And he or she will be banned from theO..It happened alot..Awesome post Jen and i agree with Toyotami Kun Its very professional..
Good things comes 2 those who wait, The things you lost will always replace something better..
I never used to sign my drawings either until I had a piece of my art copied. I didn't even know it had happened, until a friend pointed it out to me. Like you said we all just have to look out for one another :D
It could also help if you put links to other sites you submit art to in the intro of your world here on TheO, especially if you don't use the same screen name everywhere (that way there won't be any unnecessary mistakes)
oh you don't have to put your name, your user name will do fine, like how I do mine: "Toyotami TheOkaku.com" so that way you don't have to post your name.
That's good that you are doing that though.
Yeah, I started putting my name on them now, I had to edit nearly all of my drawings. I never used to sign them, because I didn't really like my name on the internet. I don't have DA, but I do have friends with it. so I shall tell them to keep an eye out :)
I know right?! I thought we should let everyone know so we can take care of each other and make sure our artwork stays right where its supposed to be.
Don't worry too much! I might try putting more of a bigger signature or water mark on my art now, just to be safe. Its a good idea. And we'll watch out for each other^^
it would be a good idea to start putting your name on it. Although people on theotaku are friendly, there are those that still take art will post it on another site like DA. You just have to be carful with these things.

Nicely put, you made this sound very professional! I think this will really help everyone else keep and eye out for people's work and keep their own things safe too!
I hope this puts everyone on alert too!

Ah now I remember seeing your signature on your art! I'll make sure to add my signature a bit better next time as well.

I guess there's a downside to being talented, people try to make it their own :/
