Hi Sky,
I'm wondering if you gave anyone permission to make money with your artwork?
Today I accidentally stumbled across this offer at ebay. It is about an iron on version of one of your land before time pictures and by the looks of it somebody is making quite a business with your art. Does this person (the ebay name is pookies_attic) do so with your permission or is someone making money with your art without even informing you about it?

I don't know for sure, but I highly doubt that Sky knows his artwork is being pirated for this purpose. :anger   Unfortunately he is away in the Phillipines and won't be back for another month, but I'm sure informing the seller that he is stealing someone else's artwork will at least force him to explain himself or take it down out of fear of being charged.

Are you going to sue the person for stealing your hard work?

Well, that's some shocking news when you return from vacation. D:

No, he didn't ask nor did I give him permission to use my work. Something similar has happened before and with the same picture too! People think they can use any pictures they find on the internet and sell them. I don't have an ebay account to contact him or report that item. I really should consider making one in the future. :unsure:
It would be really nice if someone could talk to him in a polite manner and take it down in the meanwhile. I would be really grateful :yes

Gah! It makes me really upset to see something like this! I should consider putting a larger watermark to my pictures. -_-

Petrie85:
Sue him? Well, I can't really do that. Sure, it's my work alright but the characters aren't mine. And I don't really know how to sue one anyways. :p

^I do have some fun over here. ^^ Although we're still in a "peaceful" phase. We weren't buying that much stuff either, mostly groceries but I hope it'll change in August when we go out more sightseeing.   :lol:

What do you think is going to happen to Sky when he returns home to the Feral Forest? :angel

Also, do you plan to do any diving in the Phillipines?  I hear its really awesome down there.

Oof, that's a really hard question. In fact, I have NO idea! :o But when I read the prologue, I guess he won't stay at the Feral Forest. That's all I can think of, sorry. :oops

Diving? Sounds awesome. Never thought of it, I should look into that.  :)

Do you still have a plan for your Spinosaurus character Lima in your Comic Strip?  Right now I'm writing her into the plotline of Into Blacksun, but obviously if you don't want that I could change it.

Acually, I'm leaving today.  :o
Yeah, it's a shame we didn't met...  :cry  Let's hope we change that in the future.  :yes

What do you think about how I have characterized Cloud so far? Admittedly there has only been bits and pieces of his personalty revealed, but I want to make sure that he is faithful to what your perception of who Sky and Star's should be.

Plus I like your pictures of the trip to the Phillipines.  It seemed to pass by so fast didn't it!

Holy...! Why couldn't I see this question sooner!? Sorry for responding so late, Caustizer  :slap

As for Cloud, I like his personality so far. :yes Pretty much the same I had in mind for him (except for his unique talent :angel)

Yeah, my vacation elapsed pretty fast. It felt it lasted just a single month instead of two. :o   :lol:

Are there any other places you would like to go to before you kick the bucket?

There are a lot of places I want to go.   :) Actually, I would like to visit the whole world for sightseeings. Heh, a friend of mine already did that (well, most of the world).
Hmm... I'd like to visit New York, Japan and Rio for some reason. :) Unfortunately, I don't have that much money to go there.  :(

I've been putting some lists of all the different places I'd like to go.  The lists include all the museum ships around the country, wineries around the world, and other categories.  And it will take decades before I can get to any of them.

Also, I have a list of where I DON'T want to go...
