Stolen Art.

(okay maybe not stolen, but close to, and I want ppl to read this.)

So, I went on DA today and came to discover, someone had used my
line art drawing of Kataang without even bothering to ask me if they
could. I've never had this happen before but frankly, it just made me
a little annoyed. Like if you're going to use another artists work, at least
give them a heads up. He also didn't link his pic to my original drawing.
He just said, this is by GoldenSplash. Without even the proper name
which I would have preferred like this: I don't mean
to sound snotty, but I took time on that picture and it is my most popular.
I don't want the image of it to just be thrown around without giving me
the proper credit or without my permission.

I commented on the picture of his (he has now hidden my comment) and
told him if he didn't give me the proper credit, then I would be forced to
have it taken down. He didn't even have the decency to comment back and
say he would give me the credit. And I don't know, maybe a "sorry" or
"won't happen again" would be nice. Is that so hard? It's that asking too
much? *sigh*

Supposedly he has a record of taking people's artwork without the artists'
consent and then coloring it and calling it his...So, I really do not know what
to do. He put up a link to my original picture, but I'm not sure if thats enough
for me. The way he dealt with the whole situation is just plain rude.

And now is the part where you come into the picture. I'm asking you, my
watchers and friends, what do you think I should do? I'm betting you're
curious about the picture if you haven't seen it already so here's a link to it. brotherwolflv05.deviantart.com…
You decide, should I allow him to keep it up? or should I make him take it
down? Read the description he gives also... -_- The background is all wrong,
but supposedly, he "made the whole picture" (whatever that means).
Please feel free to comment and tell me your feelings on this matter.
Pleasseeee!
