Somebody uploaded this pic to Mass Effect Female Shepard (a Facebook fanpage I admin) - [link] - last year claiming it was theirs. It got added to one of our albums, but later the person came clean that they'd lied to get attention (the person in question was actually about 12 years old!). Actually, I've spent time since then in correspondence with the lad (and his mother when she found out her son had been receiving emails from a stranger!), talking to him and teaching him better values. You'll be glad to know I don't think he'll ever be doing anything like that again. However, the mystery remained as to where it was he'd got the picture from... he couldn't remember and never used DA so must have got it from Google.
Anyway... I kept the picture, as several in the album had been uploaded by a previous admin without reference and it was my hope to one day find links to the artists and their originals for all of them. I am very happy that finally, I can add your name, and a link to your original here, to that picture!
In the present though, its really hard for artists to do what they do - musicians, sculptors... painters, writers... None are paid particularly well for what they generate, and it's almost like sometimes it would be better if we treated artists as a communal service and paid all a basic wage, which they could either use to do whatever they damn well please, or gain a little extra through customised productions that sell to a wider audience.
LOL and yes the lad is coming to terms with it. I'm not sure it's really explained to kids that well as to why they shouldn't steal, and why things like that *are* stealing... He's learning though.
