I asked her to take it down, proving that I drew it because it was in my own gallery, and she said 'I said its not mine!'. So I reported her.

Deviant Art is for art made by YOU. Its not photobucket, you can't spam art that other people make just because you think it 'looks cool'.

I'm going to stop now before I go full-on DA raging. xD

This is it EXACTLY! dA is not for art you just think looks cool. That's what your Favourites are for. I don't know why even post it if it isn't yours in the first place.

Tracing is a BIG peeve of mines.. i traced.... when I was 10 >_>
But I never... I repeat NEVER posted it online or showed anyone. It was only for my own practice. I was smart back then plus I didn't want to admit that I was a tracer and i cant draw...

So i only posted my shitty original stuff xDDDD
