well well
i deeply apologize for not giving damian the respect he deserve.
he indeed draw the scene first and i should have givin him the respect in the first place!
and it s not true that i do that because i don t like u - if i wouldn t like u i would never take your work as inspiration!
What i really don t like is making such a big fuss about this.
maybe i didn t took this so serious becouse i wouldn t complain if anybody is copying my art and or stuff.
i ll be honoured if people do.
if it makes u feel better i ll replace the picture.
thx sl44n3sh
Very well then. I accept your apology, and I'm glad that you gave me credit. I forgive you in full, and I'm glad you that you were able to clear this up.
However, from an artist to another artist s144n3sh, let me share something with you.
See...not every artist is going to think the same way. What I mean is, while you thought it was a source of inspiration, the situation didn't make it look that way. See, in truth, you posted that pic without saying anything about the picture at all. I honestly believe if you would have explained whats going on as you posted the pictures both here and on your group, that this whole situation could have been avoided. What had made me angry is that you chose my picture to introduce yourself here, when it would have been more appropriate to use one of your own pics. But, whats done is done.
Without having to be angry anymore, its nice to know an amateur's work, like mine, is worthy of any kind of recognition or praise. So, I'm also sorry for almost everything I said, ALMOST.
The reason I say almost is because on your group, I noticed you posted VERY OLD messeges of mine from some time ago, and they had nothing to do with this situation. I noticed that inparticular, you brought the religious thing up. I'm not sure what your trying to make a point of with that, but I don't appricate it even if you have made good on this matter. Those old posts make me look like some overzealous religious monger that only posted that because of you. Thats not true, even though I believe what I said. As far as the other accusation, its possible I was wrong about that one. Its 50/50 as far as I know. I responded to the messege GC posted, so you can see that.
I want to know here, in public, why you posted those old messeges. Are you trying to start something up or make people think something bad about me? I need to know before I'm forced to assume what seems obvious. Because theres no reason to bring very old topics back from the dead.
But back on topic, I forgive you, and I'm glad to know what you were trying to do. Its such a relief and a weight has been lifted. I'm glad you did the right thing. But as I said in the messege I sent you on your group right now, please don't ever do this again unless you have my permission or I'm ok with it. If you don't, it will only cause a conflict again, and neither of us needs that.
