Description
Have I had issues with this recently. I made these Model D(ragoon) sprites about five-six years ago, modeled after one of my favorite Mavericks of the Mega Man X series, Magma Dragoon, the walking-talking reference to Akuma.Okay, while they're not the most fantastic pieces of spritework in the world, they're still among the first real sprite sheets I ever completed and put a lot of work into.
So, here's what happened: Someone who shall remain nameless for now decided it was too hard to make some good sprites that they went ahead, took the sprites, uploaded them and claimed them as their own. And not only that, but took the likeness of Drake (the user of Model D) and used it as their own original character... Yeah-no. I reported his butt. Not only were they stealing my work, they stole a friend of mine's work too! While I'd rather have seen this guy banned altogether, I'm happy that awesome staff member removed the offending Deviations. Thanks, realitysquared!
So yeah, because I don't want this to happen again, watermark. Oh, no, you must be so disappo--they suck. Really. Why steal them?

I don't know if you will respond to this but, I have in my PC a version of this sprite but with more content, I don't know if it was you who updated it and I was planning on using this sprite, of course credits will be given, so that's why I want to know if I can have permission to use it? I'll understand if you don't agree with it.

Nice work. I saw this a few years ago and somehow didn't figure out it was you. How'd you find them and the douche that took them?

A fellow Deviant noted me with a link to the stolen Deviation's page. It's always nice when people you don't even know are out on the lookout for you. Lord knows your eyes can't be everywhere.

Very true, my friend. If I had known this was yours, I'd have let you known a lot sooner. Sorry about that.
Anyway, I like the overall design on them, but I feel turning his hands into the Dragoon head was unnecessary for what you were going for there. As a fellow Dragoon fanatic, I say you could almost get by with a pure martial arts style of combat.

If/when I redo them, I intend to do just that, and throw in a bit of fire bending! 8D

That's what I like to hear! That's just what I had him doing when I wrote that ZX story.
Can't wait to see it if you decide to redo them.

Hey now Worenx, these sprites may be bad but they're still a testament to the times we had at Inc. Seriously, we had some great moments back then with all the ZX Models and what not coming out.

Holy shit, it's Jace!
Yeah, that's true. There was that big ass Model boom back in the day of these sprites. Still dabble in the sprite work, buddy?

Why, yes I do. I just haven't posted much on DA. Sad to say I don't think I've gotten THAT much better than the old days but I am still better. Enough that I'm working on a Game right now. I should prolly post some of them here.

Thanks! If I wasn't so lazy, I'd do a revamp, I think I could do this so much more justice.
