Twice in one day just isn't fair.

I'm not going to put any links. It wasn't posted today but I only just found it today. (No it's not the same person. And it's been taken down now, but that doesn't change the fact that it happened.)

You know what, I don't have the energy to be angry anymore. I'm just crying now. In SORROW.

There is not a doubt in my mind that the people that trace my stuff and post it on dA are watchers of mine.

A message to people who do this: Please, just stop. I don't like being upset and you're genuinely upsetting me. If you want something to trace, go open up an episode of Digimon on YouTube that has your cat/dragon/dog/bird of choice in it and take a screen shot and trace that. Then it won't be obvious you just copied the Digimon's official default pose.

Just please. Please leave my stuff alone. Leave other people's stuff alone too.

I will notice. I remember everything I draw and I can recognize tracing within seconds.

I don't like making emotional journal entries but I'm just so unhappy.

This isn't "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery". This is laziness on your part, and is disrespectful to me and the time I put into my work.

Please...

Just.. stop.

That's freaking ridiculous. It's pure laziness and un-creativity. (No I don't think that's a word but oh well!)
It's shit that you already asked politely and it's still happening. I'm sorry you have to deal with that, it's just crap :/

You don't have to worry about me. You're so much more talented than I am that I probably wouldn't even be able to trace anything and have it come out decent compared to your awesome works. I might have to commission one day when I've actually made a crappy attempt at making my own digimon and then have you perfect it with your skills lol.

Aww, that's dreadful. Well, I'm glad you've got a cool head for dealing with stuff like this. I really hope it ends and the thieves MIGHT have some shred of common sense to STOP stealing your work and do their own. I mean, in the past, I always copied off people but now, I've stopped doing that altogether and did my own stuff. I did a fanart of Irbimon and Siberimon for you, if that'll cheer you up.

Oh hun :hug: I'm so sorry this is happening to you :( I guess it's the highly unfair double-edged sword of the great artists. If people want to draw better they should learn and practice on their own, not steal from people they suposedly admire and cause them so much grief. Never be afraid of confronting thieves or complaining about them, you're not whining, you're justified.
I wish this would stop soon, I know how upset it makes you. Try not to think about it, it's those people who should feel bad about themselves. I wish I could make you feel better :( :hug:
