Some of you may have noticed the re-uploaded Sub-Zero VS Scorpion picture, which I had up for about an hour (I have since deleted it).

If you missed it, I resubmitted it 'cause dA DELETED my previous one, saying I was violating some copyright policy. At first, I thought they meant I used copyrighted characters (which would've been ridiculous since almost EVERYONE'S doing that, and dA even has a Fanart category), but now I see that they meant I used copyrighted work, as in someone posted the picture already.

That someone was ME, on my old account. For fuck's sake, look into things before you take action. When I first registered a new account (this one), I inquired about what would happen if someone accused me of art theft when, in reality, it was just me posting my work on a new account while the picture was still up on my old account. The person who answered said that the matter would be looked into before taking action.

Well. That CLEARLY didn't happen. Shoot first and don't ask questions later seemed more fitting to describe how they handled it. I went and put my old account's gallery into storage so that they don't mess with my stuff here again, not knowing it's the same damn person.

For those who don't know, my old account was . Look at the website listed in the Devious Information on that account: [link]

That site links back to THIS dA account, Eric-3. How hard would it be to look around a little and find that out to see that the two accounts belong to the same person, instead of deleting my stuff without checking into it? I'm the same guy!

At the least, I have cleared this up with them and they have restored my previous upload of the picture.

On a more pleasant note, a friend that's commissioned me several times over the past year or so (I did those Oasie pictures in my gallery for him) has written up a little something about me on his blog, including a little interview thing I did with him. I'm flattered, really.
