*whining time*
I think I need to publish this sketch here because it's odd that it's not here, although it's SO popular in the net (thanks to thieves) that everyone thinks it's a frame from manga "Berserk" I'm not flattered. Yes, I studied Miura-sensei's style diligently in order to draw fanart that would be as similar to his style as possible, but it backfired on me.

I have another version that I made for printing. I was even accused of being a plagiarist (I copied my own drawing lol).

Because of this drawing my instagram account was blocked for 2 months (Mass reports. One tattooist targeted his followers on me, deciding that it is not my drawing and I have no right to complain).

It's a pity that I was sure that I didn't need to sign my works. But I'm glad that at least I made a handwritten signature in the upper left corner, although it's completely illegible...

...A very huge amount of plagiarism, illegal sales all over the world and on many popular sites, a lot of tattoos... It's incredibly unpleasant...

A similar story has already happened to me, with this animation , but at least they can't make money from it by printing and tattooing...

After such cases, there is no desire to do anything at all.

Commenting, sharing (I don't mean reposting!), liking... This is a feedback. Even if an artists can't respond to everyone, they're happy to get what they deserve — attention as payment for their work. By stealing, reposting, thieves get attention instead of the artist. It's not advertising and it's not good for the artists.
So, many thanks to all those who support original creators, it is very important to all of them.
