I'm very angry rn, it's one thing stealing my work, it's even worse when I get accused of stealing my own... It's not even my best work, it's very old and the perspective is messed up... My whole life feels like a big waste... I have no legacy, nobody will ever remember me, they think I stole art...
I seriously regret my decision from back in the day of not signing my own work, in art class they always encouraged me to sign my work, it was a simpler time and people used to complain about watermarks ruining images and I liked sharing a clean version and even an outline for others to enjoy... big mistake.
Do not make my mistake, always watermark your art, even lock your work behind pateron, sue, do whatever it takes to protect your work... I have no legacy left.
A lot of people know who you are, and even if they don't say it publicly on a daily basis, they probably do really appreciate the fact you share your art with the world for free. They probably wouldn't if you put ugly-assed watermarks over every square inch of your art. I have no respect for artists with that kind of ego.
Yes, everyone should sign their art. No, you can't stop people from erasing your name. People have done it to me plenty of times. It sucks, but it's just part of being online. Don't like it? Stop creating anything at all, and then your legacy will truly cease to exist.
Don't let jealousy get the better of you. A lot of people know who you are, and even if they don't
Never stop creating art; I love your pictures. I have reported the picture, even though someone posted a comment 18 months ago saying it was stolen from you. Also, timestamps go a long way. I pointed out that the Inkbunny picture was posted nearly 13 years ago, so if anyone still claims you stole it, they don't want to hear the truth. Unfortunately some people just want to rant and rage and feel self-righteous, and some seek clout off of someone else's hard work. But don't give up.

Just to clarify this time I wasn't accused of stealing it but that happened last month as I made a journal about it here, still this concerns me, I don't mind people enjoying my work and even sharing it around but when they sign it and claim ownership then I get accused of stealing it that's going too far and it makes me quite angry and upset.

Well, if I see anything that's definitely yours and being claimed otherwise, I will flag it when I can, and other honest and honourable artists and consumers will do the same, giving hard proof too. We will do our best to stop art theft.

So I checked out Nok's other work, and yup, it's just random bits and pieces of other artists' work with their names on em. If I had to make a guess, the git must want to be an artist in their own right, but doesn't have the patience to learn how to draw. It's either that or they're just doing this because they're bored.
Either way, it's clear this git has a history of trying to steal others' art and claim it as their own (even though they're not trying to be consistent or remove the og artist's signature.) Yeah, this git needs to be punished for something so blatantly obvious.

My reports shown not only they stole from you, but auntymoria, innocenttazlet, The Other Half, 3pac, MonkeyXFlash, and angelbreed. I was able to identify all, but one pic through reverse image search, the very last one shown of Amy Rose.

I'm really, really sorry this happens to you, man. Your anger is very justified, and I hope every jerk who accused you immediately and profusely apologizes for their idiot and baseless accusations.
