You say sorry, you use the "Guilty" emoticon up there...and yet you have no remorse and LEAVE the stolen work on your gallery.

Just a small FRIENDLY tip for you.
A lot are reporting you. And whether you credit the artist or not, you're in trouble. The art was not yours to modify, because you do not own it. Yet you smeared words over it AND removed the artist's mark on the bottom right corner.
And saying that this person created it, doesn't mean you got permission from the artist to do anything to the image or even upload it to your gallery.

That is the essence of art theft. Submitting something WITHOUT the creator's permission. Giving them credit doesn't make it right.
I mean, think about it this way, take the other side here. If you created something and put it up for display...then someone comes along and takes that something which you put hard work into, they modify it and then put it up into their gallery and say "Lookie here! Hurr hurr. This is my _____." and they removed your signature from it.

Don't you think you would feel rather upset that they did it without you saying they could?


You want a small bit of advice? Take the image down now before dA staff takes action and bans you. You are violating the Terms of Service of dA...breaking the site's rules itself. Think logically here. Is this worth being banned over? The image will be taken down by the staff whether by removal, or removal of you through banning.

Here's where you need to read. But since it is a LOT of information, I will underline and bold the stuff you need to pay attention to. Since you are simply telling everyone to shut up when they try warn you.
