I apologize for those who liked to use my wallpapers, but I'm going to have to put DA watermarks on all the full views of my work, including wallpapers.  I've had a lot of theft recently, and I know it comes from DeviantArt so I believe this is the only way to curb it.

Nothing much else going on in my world otherwise.  Well - too much in a way; too much to do any vector work.  I'm going to try really hard to get my M3 done though.

You're quite right. It must be bloomin' annoying.

Oh...how about some old school BMW's?

Cafepress emailed back and said they removed it. I haven't actually looked yet though. :P

That's fucking shitty. :(

Why not just post the email addresses of the thieves or contact info, and we'll help you get even?

Man I hate theives. They can't call themselves artists and they're living off of others hard work. You got to do what you got to do to protect your stuff, I don't blame you at all.

That sucks but I completely understand! All that means is that you are just that B@D @$$ that people would do that! Sorry to hear of the cheap people in the world once again!

Yeah - now in order to steal it they'll have to buy a print and scan it in! haha

I didn't realize how frustrating this is. After a certain point in time, you can't select the watermark option without re-uploading the image first. So you have to save it, re-upload it, THEN choose the watermark selection.

Whew. Good thing I downloaded your stuff a long time ago!


Time to sell it for a nice profit!


;) Kidding. it's a shame though, I hate watermarks, but I hate that they are needed more.

I'm sorry that you have to go to that extreme a measure because of a few boneheads.
I for one think it bites because I love to examine your's and other's work close up.
For me sometimes the beauty is in the details.

Unfortunately we admirers are going to pay.

Don't stop doing renderings watermarks are better than nothing. :)

Good luck in the future
