Interesting view, I didn't realise it was because of pervs 
I guess it also depends on who the person is wanting to draw my character. If its friends then thats fine. For example, a while ago, somebody drew my friend's OC on here, without asking. Now this person did this a lot, drawing her friends ocs as gifts and to surprise them, which is sweet. But with this particular character, you could tell she hadn't been drawn in a good light, and seemed to maybe verge on bullying, with this oc angry at my friend's oc (these two girls both had a love interest for the same character.) Now maybe she didn't mean it in a bad way, but it did seem a little mean. Maybe she felt too close to my bud, which my bud didn't feel.

Might be! Artists have reasons for not having others draw their characters (which is understandable) ^^
Sorry to hear your friend had to deal with that :/ I've heard of people drawing stuff as a way to get back at another person or make them uncomfortable by using their characters.

It's horrible.

Oh yes definitely. Trying to force a friendship isn't good and usually becomes an uncomfortable/awkward situation.
That's not okay...ugh I hope your friend is alright. It's possible the original artist could report it as misrepresentation or misuse of an intellectual property. I do know a little about copyright law and stuff but I'm not entirely sure on that. Characters are kind of a gray area unfortunately in that they can be trademarked but not actually copyrighted I believe. I would need to brush up on this though
Either way it's a scuzzy thing for the person to do to someone's personal character.

Definitely. Especailly when said person only wants you for free stuff or as was the case with me, rp. I had to leave this friend in the end.
Thanks, she is alright. And that is very confusing about characters, I wonder if they can be legally copyrighted? Yes, its scary what someone's hate for someone else can make them do, even for something small. And sadly, nothing usually comes off reporting said people as they haven't for example sent threats. Which makes me think these person are sly and cunning, they choose to do something which they hope wont' be seen as anything bad...those people still haven't been kicked off here.

Oml I feel you. I had a 'friend' that basically used me for free art...ugh..
Kinda. It's sorta tricky but there is a way. I think characters have to be attached to some sort of brand/company and/or media such as a movie, TV, book, etc. Copyright doesn't protect ideas, only when its used in some sort of medium. That also makes it hard to report unfortunately.
Still, it's frowned upon to steal/misuse someone's character and people can get a lot of backlash for it (usually if it's a well known character).
The best thing to do is not to engage these types of people and block them. B/c if they pursue you it becomes harassment and that can definitely be reported.

I will do trades, collaborations or look for artists who do point commissions and always mention them in my journal. As someone who used to do freelance translation, I couldn't work for free unless its for family or very close friends. A friend of mine said she gets asked for free art from businesses, even her dentist! The most annoying this is they say they cant pay her...This astounds me a lot more than people on here asking for free stuff, because you'd expect people with businesses to be mature adults and understand that you need money for jobs, even simple sketches.
I hope the person left you alone.
Wow, that's quite complicated in regards to characters....I get the feeling that da don't always take the bullying seriously though, and I do not agree with their 'tracing is ok' policy. I feel it just encourages theft...

(late reply, sorry!)
Definitely! I learned about copyright and stuff early on but I get what you mean about not wanting to pester the artist. Basically being respectful that they don't have to do your request and it's on their terms. Most of the time it's younger kids doing that kind of thing and it's kinda...forgivable? They'll eventually learn and grow (well most of the time LOL).
Ugh...I get what you mean. Even in the professional industry people may ask for free work, completely unpaid or for 'exposure.' Usually the business is just cheap (and usually shady too) and wants to spend the least amount of money possible. Sometimes people don't think that there's a human being behind the art and that a lot of time and effort goes into it.
Ty c: We eventually lost contact.
At least that's what I think it is (from what I've read

hello!
Oh I see, though I guess it makes sense younger people doing that more. I've noticed some people who spam people asking for requests, basically sending the same message to a lot of artists. This one guy was doing that, making a huge list of what he wants, without even asking the artist first if they do requests!
Yeah. It seems like a lot of people nowadays want something for nothing. Somebody on here who works in film professionally (he id some of the graphics in the movie Casper) was asked by someone to help them out on a movie project for free of course. His response to them was amazing. 
Could be...I was chatting with someone recently who said that in the past DA were very quick to remove stolen art and even other people who were not the artist could report the art and get it removed- no idea why they changed it now, so only the artist could file a claim 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lmao oh my goodness, I can imagine how embarrassing that would be to the artist to have to decline that. I've seen people do that for requests even though the artist does do them, and it's kinda taking advantage of that.
Yeah really -.- Some people have no manners.
Err'body cheap X) Asjjkldja wow, I'm not surprised though. I can understand if it's a not for profit project, but once money is involved you gotta pay up. I'd love to see his response if you still have a link to it
Ohhh I've heard of that...Ugh, it's so disgusting how a company can exploit people like that, especially young, inexperienced workers who may not know any better. Or are desperate
I guess that was dA in its prime. I think only the artist can file the claim (in some cases or websites) because the artist may have given permission for the person to use it. DeviantART still allows claims from people other than the artist so that's good (I had to check lol). Wow really? I've never heard of that. Like...how would it???? I don't understand, wut
Maybe with the DeviantART Eclipse thing these issues will be overhauled. We can only hope

Totally!
True that, and having worked freelance myself, I would never be able to do work for free, unless of course I had a full time and did freelance on the side. Luckily I have a fulltime job now, but no time for freelance! XD
Yeah
You're right, I never thought of that, the artist having perhaps given permission. I had a friend on here who had done an awesome drawinf of one of my ocs, but she no longer used this site, so I asked her if it was ok to add it to my gallery (this was the only time I did that) and she had no problem with it. However, I took it down when one day another friend asked if she could do a drawing for me. I agreed, and she drew the same oc, but it was so very obvious she had traced my friend's drawing, and out of respect I decided to remove it. This person did this a lot, tracing stuff, I'm surprised she was never reported. I heard about being able to report anonymously, but I still cant figure out how t do it. And in any case, it may not work as the original drawing is no longer on here....
Yeah,its weird...The only logical thing I can think of is, people check out this site, read the rules and think 'oh wow, a site which allows tracing! I must join!'
How is DA eclipse supposed to work exactly? I'm still unsure

Wish I could totally do requests, but unfortunately art takes so much work
I think it might be because art is often undervalued and underappreciated so people don't really take it seriously. Even though it's a skill and deserving of the same respect as any other profession.
Ya, I often see some people (usually the commissioner) upload their commissioned piece into their gallery as sort of a place to collect their art.
Oh jeez wow. Sad that you had to take it down because of them
Ommgg. I mean, there was literally a category on dA called 'Traced Bases.' It looks like they removed it but dA whyyy were you encouraging this!
Eclipse is a massive overhaul of dA (website design mostly). There's some previews of it somewhere and I think BETA testers can try it out

Maybe this will get people to draw my characters without me requesting them to.

Use the thumb code located near the bottom of the deviation (after all the other junk) and paste it wherever you'd like on DeviantART. prntscr.com/cjhutb
