Description
Flat out like a lizard drinking at the moment, but here's a commercial piece I just finished off. This one caused me all kinds of grief trying to get her looking right sitting on the shield.Her expression is because of the new watermark tattoo I've added to her leg Im sure... someone (thanks Tsuyoshi
) found my work being sold on tshirts on some Russian online print site and pointed it out to me.I know once your arwork is online, its outthere, but Username belodan, whoever you are, making money off other peoples art without asking is kinda douchey!
Click on for larger version - its fun!

Great work Dave!
Sad to hear some idiot was selling your artwork on T's tho! Surely the print quality couldn't have been up to much if they grabbed the images from the web?

Yeah, I cant think they'd look that great - low rez AND still with bits of my watermark on them. Kind of feel sorry for anyone who orders one from the site!

True! As well as the artist being ripped off, the poor customer gets bummed out too!
I think there should be much harsher penalties for people found guilty of copyright theft tbh!

Maybe an ugly and permanent watermark accross their body - it seems somehow appropriate!

Ha ha! Like for like! Good idea!

That's always fun and instructive to see your works !
Bye

how do the stealing mofo coped with the watermark? :shock:

He didnt even take the watermark of them properly! Actually feel a bit sorry for anyone who orders one of 'his' shirts and gets a crappy web rez shirt with a watermark half cropped out over the artwork.

Happy she missed me... but I'll be careful with her axe
As my english is not perfect... may you tell me what'a a "pun" ?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Pun is a play on words, usually for a humerous result (eg. 'Barbierian' ).

Ha OK...!
Yes... I can't help it

Yeah! Another great Viking Barbie.
Dave, I remember seeing ( I believe it was on DA ) a woman posting on her journal about a Russian website stealing artwork images and making money from those images.
It sounds like what happened to you. If I can locate her on here I'll send you her page.
Great illustration, and you have a great sense of humor my friend.

Sexy work here she looks very niiiiice
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
She's not as nice as she appears - she once cheated on a high school paper, stole her best friends chicken sandwich in junior primary and has been known to switch out the sugar bowl with salt at restaurants.
Cheers man, Glad you like!

Awesome work - too bad about the thieving scumbag stealing your printing rights.
When I catch up to them, I subpoena them to appear in court in my home town - of course, that only works if they are in my country...

Or just run them over in your 4x4!
Thanks for the sentiment and lovin' your car-acatures!

Nice piece Loop's!
I know how much of a pain in the ass it is to get that good pose right!
As for that douche! No worries! I believe in karma and that douche bag will get his! Remember, it happen to me with the whole slot machine crap! Now i hear he's getting screwed big time!
So, here's good vibes to ya mate!

Awesome. And my favourite combo, Barbie and Vikings.

Little known fact - Leif Eriksson the Viking explorer had a barbie doll with him when he landed on North America some 500 years before Christopher Columbus - which meant, not only was he earlier than is competitor, he had much girlier toys. True story.

Wooowww Another Masterpiece !!!
The Hands, the Hands !!!
Awesome

Thanks my friend!! - hands are often the most challenging, and dare I say it, most fun parts to paint - glad you like the way they turned out!

I think it must be the cold bra giving her that face. Sorry about the theftery!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Its what always made Red Sonja so irritable - the day started with a cold metal bra, and once it warmed up, she had to deal with the chaffing. Many lives were lost because of her poor outfit selections. There is a belief that one must suffer for their fashion, but when they make you mad enought to chop of other peoples heads then its just wrong wrong wrong.

Wow, the thought of how bloodied, crusted, and scarred those nips must have been from only having a nights rest to try and heal before getting assaulted again in the morning totally changes my childhood interest in seeing under said bra!

I bow before the greatness that is Loopydave! Super sweet dude. As for the art rippage, not super sweet. That happened to me too, dang thieves!

Dang their thieving paws! Cheers man - skip the bowing though - its embarrasing and people are starting to talk!

Great piece as always!!
Sorry to hear about the art theft. Its a terrible consequence of the digital distribution medium. I found a ton of my stuff also being sold on-line and hence the overworked watermark..
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks man! Yeah, its enevitable and paticularly annoying when you did all the hard work and someone else is making money of your work and you're not!
I really like the wording on your watermark - wonder if I have permission to use the second line next time on my work. I wont write 'property of Mark Raats' only coz your work is awesome and you dont need any help from me!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
LOL --
Sure you can use it. I sometimes get a little flak when its posted on a LucasFilm piece 'cause I guess its strictly their property not mine, but but they don't seem to stress because of the work I sometimes do for them and also the end goal is the same - not to have some degenerate steal it for their own gain..
Actually I can do with all the help I can get
