Hello to all on deviantart :)
firstly i want to thank every single one of you who favourited, commented and featured my work on your own deviantart pages, i really appreciate your support.
However the time has come for me to finish my gallery, too many times my work has been stolen, and used on other sites, it seems now with the digital age that people no longer have the respect they used to have for artists. Even people on here have ripped my work and i see it everyday in all of your postings. Im so tired and fed up with the lack of respect, that deviantart is no longer a place i am proud to be part of.
So many of you are wonderful artists and i will continue to watch you all with admiration, but i am afraid for me enough is enough :)
I apologise to you all, but wish you the best in your careers as artists :)
Thank you and good night

Sad to see you go... but... does it really matter if someone else uses your work, especially if it's not generating money? This is the internet and the 21st century; surely it's not realistic to expect otherwise? I spent many, many hours on my most recent deviation (snailshell [link]) but I don't watermark, and I always leave the full res upload too. I create, let people enjoy, then move on! :-) I respect your feelings, just feel surprised...
