Dragon

Sat May 30, 2009, 8:39 AM
I received some posts about the dragon piece I've made stating that the dragon looked a lot like someone else's copyrighted piece. At the time I created it I was using another dragon as "template" to create my own, and it had no source on it and was marked as free to use. Sadly this happens quite often when people steal someone's work and publish it as free-to-use renders or something similar. Today, thanks to a comment, I think I've found the picture I used as a template and it is copyrighted.

Although the dragon on my deviation was clearly my own, i did use that picture as a template to create it (hence the similarities) and that is why I decided to delete my deviation, because I do not want the owner of the original thinking I even remotely stole his work or anything of the sort. So as a sign of respect to the fellow artist, I removed my work. I believe that copyright exists for a reason, and even if, I repeat, I created my own dragon, some of the techniques and elements were inspired by the original. So to clear up any further confusions, I removed my deviation.
