Trying to make yourself look great is understandable. But if the sketch uploaded earlier was really yours, you are on the way to being a good artist WITHOUT taking other works. Art is not something you're born good at. People often look at what I do and say "Easy for you to say!" But they don't see the twenty two years it took for me to get where I am, and they don't see all the artists I think are better than I am.

Stealing art will only anger and ostricise people who can help you. It's never the best path, as you will get found out- there are people who hunt down art theives online to block them from any sites they can post on.

I am one of them.

I had already set my art theft hunting friends onto the images' case, they discover the truth of claims such as yours by using data imbedded in the image that can idenitfy when the image was done and the last time it was altered, even where they got it in the first place. I don't do it to be a bully, I do it because I have had my art stolen. I've had it altered, I've had it traced. I've even had it sold. Every single time they cut or cropped, they took out my watermarking and claimed it as their own. Using it on a site like this may seem harmless, but art theft ALWAYS has a victim.

Don't panic, I updated the request on our group so your won't get blocked from anything. Please please keep it in mind though.

We can help you draw better art. People will have comissions to draw it for you, competitions and even free giveaways. There are lots of ways to get your character drawn. Never be afraid to try it yourself and NEVER be afraid to ask for help.
