So...dealt with art Theft today. by Tofubread

I'm honestly really stressed out, and it kind of hurts, but it's not going to stop me from art or any of that sort.

Let's begin from...this morning? yeah, let's go there.
As you guys know, i posted the picture of Reizo this morning: https://www.weasyl.com/submission/818050/comm-new-character-get
Not too long after here on Weasyl, someone sent me a note asking me about selling the character to him. I declined, not thinking much of it. This was around the time i had to leave for work, so my web time was going to be limited after.

2 hours later, i check and got another note on weasyl. Same person. They wanted to trade for him, and i was rather annoyed. I declined and told him that he wasn't for sale OR trade.

Then things got a little crazy.

That person altered the tags on him and added "stolen" to the picture. I removed it and reported him. I also blocked him from doing anything else.

A little while later, he made a NEW account (because both accounts were made the SAME DAY [coincidence? i think not!]) and not only did he send me a trolling note asking me to kill myself, but he even committed so much as art theft.

I was upset, and told my buddy hi-biki about it, seeing as it was his art and character (which he sold to me; we both have proof of it) and hopefully would be able to resolve it. I was sweating at this point and it was about an hour before i had to leave work.

Thankfully, the situation has been taken care of, mostly thanks to the quick response by someone reporting the person on weasyl, so that i'm thankful for.

Lesson for the day kids? If someone says no, then don't be a dick.

P.S. If you see this character floating around, and someone else is attempting to claim him as theirs, let me or hibiki know.

So...dealt with art Theft today.
