Someone on Deviantart just accused me of plagiarism. I joined DA a few months back thinking it would be a good way to expand my audience, but I never really uploaded anything. The only time I posted anything was about a month ago. Just for fun I put up an older drawing. Since I'm new, there was no activity on it and I just assumed it got lost in a sea of uploads. Which is fine, I didn't expect to get attention right away, I'm still new. This morning I logged in and found that I had two feedback notifications. I was excited, because I was finally getting activity on my account. Turns out, one of those notifications was a user called Boxygrandpa, whatever the hell that means, who said "strange how the artists name on the drawing doesn't match yours hmm?". Cute. My first time having any sort of interaction with another DA user, and it's some troll accusing me of plagarism. I responded in what I though was a pretty mature manner, all things considered, then flagged his comment as spam. You can see the page here and decide for yourself if I made the right call. I dunno. I'm just so angry. I spend so much time on TheO where everyone is nice to each other, I totally forgot the other 99% of the internet is full of raging assholes. For the record, I sign my artwork with the initials of my real name, because I have different usernames on different website. Should I start using my online names on my artwork? Should I start putting a watermark on my stuff? Or am I just taking this jerkwad too seriously? (Probably the last one, huh?)
