Description Ah, I know, you've seen it before (and I do hope you're not sick of it by now )! If you haven't: it's the final panel from my "A Lesson" comic (which I've also submitted previously as a pencil piece).

Here: [link]
and also
Here: [link]

The difference with this one is that I've decided to take the plunge and make this piece available as a print. (Unfortunately this isn't possible on DA with the full comic, as the format doesn't fit any of the available print options -- BUT! I can have it printed myself, and sign it and ship it, if anyone would like the whole thing!)

Original artwork was drawn by hand, first in pencil, then ink, and digitally coloured. So you could say it's 2/3 traditional media. There's still nothing that can beat the feel of hand-drawn linework, for me!

(Characters Erik and Christine are from Gaston Leroux's Phantom of the Opera.) (And zOMG, teh kissing!)

Also, just a note on the prints: it defaults to showing you the most expensive version, but if you look below the pricing for that, there's a "photo prints" button, which gives you options that are under $10!

I think it was someone fairly young, wanting to show off her colouring skills. I expect it started off as a naive mistake, but then... she refused my polite requests to remove the pieces, which made me angrier than I was about them being posted in the first place. Had to report them and have DA take them down instead.

Well, after the girl who coloured it and reposted it as her own work made her version for sale as a print (rrrrghhh, but it's since been taken care of...) I decided, what the heck, I'll do it too! It being my own artwork and all.

It was preeeetty weird to see my own work posted to groups I'm members of, with crayon colouring scribbled on top of it, I must say...

Ah well. DA pulled the pieces after I reported them, so, yay!

ugh, disgusting. And nobody noticed, or figured out you're there - how poor of them. For which we are thankful, or there would be more troubles ;]

shmeeden In reply to MalaPokusa [2011-03-17 22:17:43 +0000 UTC]

What bothers me most about it is that I had to report the pieces for them to be removed. The person posting them ignored all my requests for her to take them down. (I did my best to be polite about it, all things considered, but... sigh.) I expect it was a kid doing it, and I wanted to give her a chance to do the right thing, but... nope. Totally ignored me. So I had to go over her head and get them removed by the site.

I know watcha mean, but as it turns out - there's really no point in talking people out of such things once they did that. Some girl took and art from my aunt's dA, put some flat paint colors on it and claimed it as it own - even in comments she exchanged with my aunt, the author It's really just sad, but let's not ponder it more - you got it right, so it's good

Now if I can just figure out what's up with the print glitch (submitted a version with my signature in the corner, which was getting cut off strangely on the print preview... changed the file... prints didn't update... disabled the print... tried to re-enable it without success so far... blurrrghhh) I'll be a happy camper!
