10 000 pgvs & specialas you have presumably already recognised in the headline, the reason for the journal entry is pretty simple. I finally broke through the wall of 10 000 pgvs.
Therefore I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for dropping by, faving, watching and especially commenting on my works.
It truly makes me happy to see, that even though I am (with my 8 drawings in 16 months) not really one of the most active deviants here, still so many made it here.
I am really touched by the popularity of "Sanity" in particular, that surpassed all expectations I had when I started with the drawing (15,936 views, 742 favs and 373 comments). Back then I was just overwhelmed by the expression of the reference photo by mehmet turgut so that I couldn't help but to start drwaing it.
2 weeks later I almost put it to the scrap paper since I still had no answer of mehmet turgut regarding my request-note for his approval for using it as a reference.
But then I decided that it shouldn't end like that and started a last attempt, I submitted a WIP of the drawing and wrote another request with a link to the WIP (and the annnouncement that I would delete it again if he doesn't agree with it), this time in his messege box on the front page of witch I knew that he was reading it.
When I logged in the next day I already came up with many eventualities regarding his reply, but that he would fav my drawing and ask me not to stop was definitely not one of them.
I don't knwo how it feels to get a DD, but when you are small fry with twothousand pageviews like me and there comes this guy with over twomillion pageviews to fave one of your drawings, then that's qutite something!
Well I tried to make the best out of it, decided to submit it for the "villians" contest of the portraitpencilart-club where it actually made the 3. place.
Unfortunately many months passed since this submission in which I couldn't find the time to draw. Maybe in two months I will have enough spare time again for another project. I am still learning and though I tried to use in every drawing a different technique there are still many to go.
But enough of the talk, I announced a special. Even though I was not able to create a new drawing, I wasn't totally inactive. I made a new account for photography only, that can be found here :

Please have a look at my profile and gallery at [link] !
this is mine if u want to see what kind of case u will have to make. u dont have to read it all...
I am writing to inform you that this artist is claiming that they have at all altered their "art" but if one were to look at this Deviant’s other works, one would immediately see that this person has indeed drawn OVER a print out.
This is especially serious as because it is an affliction of copyright laws not only because it is disingenuous, but because it is also ON SALE. This is a direct mockery of what Deviant Art is all about.
I ask you to look beyond the fact that they have a WIP for this drawing. This person has drawn parts of the image, I don’t deny that, but the finished product is not one of them. This I believe is the must cunning part of the lie.
This particular piece is astoundingly false. The Deviant has barely changed anything at all here. If u compare the “drawing” with the reference [link] and find it hard to believe that isn’t sufficient proof. But to further my point, I have downloaded the reference and rendered it black and white to demonstrate how easily it can be done [link]
I am directly involved with this issue as I confronted the Deviant about the credibility of their pieces, and I feel especially strong about this, as Deviant Art is a place for artists and not spurious individuals who feel they need to lie in order to reach the high standard of so many here. It is a direct insult to the artists who work very hard to achieve the realism that this person can only fake.
I will be extremely disappointed if your establishment do not take this report seriously, however I very much enjoy your website and will continue to use it regardless of the outcome.
Thank you
