Re: [NTML] Imitation is the Highest Form....

Brina:             Not just the bandana, the legs look the same, too.  I can definitely say it was copied, or maybe manipped, from your original art and I think because of that, she should have gotten your permission.  I mean, I made art from your stories but I asked you first.             ~Yeah, I guess part of me feels like I want to get a hold of her and let her know I can recognize my own drawing, and suggest next time she does that that she should get the artist's permission. But I think the only way to do that would be through Dan Berger and I don't want to bother him with it. So I guess I have to let it go.   Brina: The only time my art was taken was in a bad and insulting way.  I've said I'm cool with TMNT sex, porn, the whole thing, but when my art was abused and stolen without my consent, well....let's just say the fangs and horns came out.  >:)               ~Oh I remember that-- that was bad! I can't remember if you ever were able to confront that person. What ever happened with that?       You know what's funny-- that same drawing of mine was used once before but the person who borrowed it only lobbed his tail off and posted it on her site. I was able to get a hold of her and say it was cool if she wanted to use it but that I'd prefer she didn't alter it in any way. That person was fine with my request.          Poor Leo--he's been abducted and altered twice now!                                          ~GW     ____________________________________________________   IncrediMail - Email has finally evolved - Click Here
