I'll be taking a break from posting now. Recent events have made me realize that wherever you go and whatever the amount of warnings, notices and copyright mentions one puts up, there's always gonna be art theft. Whether it's intentional or not. And I'm getting very tired and fed up of creating models and having others modifying them without my consent and/or permission (the fact that I could do a better job at it if they'd just ask is apparently an alien concept to these people.)

So down it goes. (Yet) again. But this time, I've taken down even the fanfic characters made for my close friends as well other people I've digitalized characters for. The only one left in my gallery is Metroplex. The version with his weaponry deployed. Biggest challenge I ever made for myself so he alone remains as a reminder of what can be done if I ever put my mind to it. I'm just... tired of fighting for this. Admittedly, it's not like a lot of people have stolen my artwork in the past or used my stuff without permission on whatever forum, but I'm just sick of going through forum after forum looking for users who've "borrowed" my stuff as either their own or without so much as a mention of it's provenance. Seibertron.com, Allspark.com and even once TFW2005.com. I've seen my stuff at least a few times on these sites. A few times to many. So again, down it all goes.

I'm not leaving DA. Why would I want to? It's the only way I can contact three of the best people I've ever had the privilege of knowing in my life. But as for the rest... For those that know of it's existence, the "receptacle" is still open, as I cannot bring myself to stop pixeling on a regular basis, and use it as a "dumping grounds" of sorts just in case something was to ever happen to my computer. Besides, my checklist still needs small avatars to represent the toys I have. Heh.

Very sorry about all this. Eventually, I hope, there'll come something to make me want to present my stuff to the world again (or hopefully a way to do so without making me have to police the interweb for my stuff.) But for now I'll be taking a backseat to the whole scene of pixel art generation. Others have done it before only to return in force. Yet others have lost interest completely in doing so. I really hope to find a way to one better.

Thanks for all the love, faves and devwatches people! It was a blast while it lasted.
