Yes- people have told me prior to this.
Had I known I wouldn't have featured it in the first place. Unfortunately, once a feature is up I cannot edit it (which is silly if you ask me). So, I must ask you to inform the admins instead of me, since you know, they can actually do something about it.
Though I do thank you for telling me all the same.

First- I'm a little surprised you'd bother to point out such a thing after over two months.
Second- I am aware of this issue, someone else had pointed it out previously.
Third- I'm sorry to inform you that, since the feature is a news article, that I cannot edit it once it's been put up. Believe me, I've tried when in a past article I realized that one of the pics there was from a windows background . Though it saddens me that pieces like that make their way into my feature, there's squat I can do once the feature is up. You've got the wrong person.
I do however, highly encourage you to take the proper steps of reporting art theft to the mods- since, you know, they can actually do something...even if often times they fail to do it.

blwhere In reply to Loriele [2010-03-10 19:56:36 +0000 UTC]

First, I've just been informed myself of it.
Secondly, I didn't know that you had already been informed of this information. It's not like I can read minds in the first place. That's why I'm going to apologize to you now. Thanks for telling me.
It's not going to happen again because now I know that you have been informed.
Thirdly, it's none of my concern if you cannot take the feature down. All I was doing was informing you about the theft in the first place. If you feel sadden by the fact that you featured a thief, you should check your resources before hand. (Don't ask me how, I wouldn't know.)
Actions are taking place to inform the mods about this. I would rather inform the people who encourage this person's actions to keep doing it. By telling you about it now, I know that in the future, you would not do it again. (If that makes any sense to you, because it does to me.)

Loriele In reply to blwhere [2010-03-10 21:55:17 +0000 UTC]

oh no- I didn't mean to imply that you could read minds, I just figured it was fair to let you know this wasn't news to me...just not a lot I can do about it regardless.
I do actually make a point to check for thieves before I feature- there's just not a good way to do so . I generally check their galleries to be sure that the pic I'm looking to feature isn't blatantly at a skill level that's not their own- and therefor probably not their pic- but there's not much else I can do to check unless I happen to recognize the art. I've yet to think of anything more effective.
That sort of makes sense to me. Kind of. Not really. Unless I made a habit of featuring this person multiple times I can't really imagine why the knowledge would do me any good in the future, since DA's such a big place the odds of grabbing their work to feature a second time- especially given the type of feature I do- is minimal to none.
That's not to say I don't appreciate the knowledge, and understand why you'd want to tell me. I just struggle with the practical implications/applications of it

Well, a tip is to check if you can't enlarge the picture as it's unlikely she worked at this size Also you know where it's all ugly and fuzzy round the edges? It's where she's copied and pasted into paint, then saved it as a dodgy file time, usually JPEG. You can look out for that in stolen pieces too. x

That's fine, sometimes I get people (like trolls) telling me little things and expect me to know them.
I don't, that's pure knowledge, if I knew you as a friend, I would probably know this. As a complete stranger, I wanted to at least be courteous and warn you. But like I said, I won't warn you in the future.

A way I would look at it. Is go through their pages, and see the comments left by other people. Read them carefully. Sometimes people have already left a comment or two about this. And most of the time they have been marked as spam. Also, author's comments on a picture says a lot. Most artist usually leave a description about how they felt as they were making the picture, some tell you the items they used, some even tell you a joke or two about what happened in the past hour. Or, you'll get the artist that won't say a lot b/c of their language. Those are very hard to point out. That's when you look under their profile to see how long they have been here. Usually it takes awhile to get a lot of page views. Also, when they added the art. Busy artist are busy. So, it takes a lot of time to upload artwork and journals. Dates contain information. If they have uploaded 4 epic artworks in the same day, somethings up, or, they're just that damn good!

It's fine if you're thinking I'm lying to you about this information. I as well would be pissed if I kept getting the same message over and over again, I would just like to tell you that kindness goes a long way. You'll make friends a lot faster if you show kindness. When someone comments on your page, the first thing you do is say thanks right? So, say that. I'm sure if someone else warns you about that again, and you say thank you then you'll find yourself another friend in the making. At least artist wise. And when you have friends, good things happen. Both of you may find out that the other is rich, or is a good artist, and may want to help you or do something for you in the future if need be. So, be nice to others, I'm sure someone has told you that before. Personally, I have a lot of friends whom trust me, and those friends have friends who know they can talk to me. If I ever need a favor, I would have someone there for me in a heartbeat, even if I'm doing something good or bad. It's just a matter of that friendship.

Anyways, past the point... >.>

sound advice. I'll be sure to keep an eye out for those signs in the future.

No, I have no reason to think you're lying about this info- especially given that I've had another come froward about this same artist/picture.

I...think we're miss-communicating a bit here
If it seems like I'm blowing you off or something I'm sorry- I am glad you're taking it upon yourself to inform people of this theft.
I simply don't feel like I'm the person to come to about this- that's what the admins are for. Not me, who has no power to affect things. I can't do anything more then say 'cool thanks for telling me' and that seems like an in-proper response- so I'm probably stumbling over words in an attempt to be both pleasant, and not take on responsibilities I know I can't/don't have. (Trying to take on those responsibilities, when I know I can't is quite distinctly un-kind, at least in my head)

Sorry if I offended you somewhere along trying to get there- you can chalk it up to my bad communication skills.

Ty.

Ah, yes.

Okay, I get it now. You didn't understand what I meant by the last thing I said. What I meant was that people that are fans of thieves (knowingly or not.) Stroke their ego to make them do it more. An example. One of the pictures I drew, received 25,000 hits, knowing this, I'll know to make more pictures like it. But, if one of my pictures receive only 3 hits, I know not do a lot of them in the future. I'm warning you to prevent you from watching/giving them the time of day. That way their ego won't get stroked, but their feelings would get hurt. That is what need to happen. If more people know about it, the more information left on their pages (hate mail), which leads a person not to do it anymore. Or, trade accounts and do it again.

Either way, one less person to worry about.

No, you didn't. I think that first message made me mad, but I've forgotten why. I know that you aren't rude, but the last two messages you sent me. Sorry if I'm seen like a bitch as well. I'm just trying to get the message out. If you don't like the messenger, you don't necessarily have to shoot them down, just send them away properly.
