If you like cats and want to be a cat then that is fine with me.

However don't be a copycat

There is a difference between being inspired by an artist's work and just blatantly copying an image.

Why bother being creative at all if all you just copy another person's work? What do you get out of it? Please just don't do it. It is stupid.

And no, people don't feel flattered when their work is plagiarised. I personally get pissed and feel insulted.

(why did I write all this? Let's just say there are a couple of works out there by people that are not as original as you may think.)

Why do they do it?
My theory is that, 50% of the Internet people are lazy. They are snobs. The other 50% are uncreative consumers. They take stuff from the net, like movies, music, artwork, but they do not produce any digital content, like you and I do.

I think the world is now divided, between those who create, and those who consume.

Of course creators will always have the upper hand.

From a creator/producer's point of view, it's hard to create. It takes a lot of thoughts and efforts. A lot of people don't want to put in that effort. A lot of people just want to take the short-cut and it's easy for them to rip.

That's the way I see things.

I'm sorry hun.
I hope you report them.
:hug:
If it's of any consolation to you, I for one can almost instantly recognize your work. Meaning, you have your own "touch" that nobody, no matter how hard he/she tries, will be able to imitate.
:nod:
I think most of us here have been copied one way or another; this motivates me to just move along and try to produce even more "personalized" work. :)
Remember, to each his/her own unique personal touch.
