The image was removed and the user ( villainofspand.deviantart.com ) got a warning:

"The content which you have specified has been reviewed and removed by our staff and this member has been issued a written warning and advised of our copyright policy."

Happy with the results, and happy that DA does act upon this kind of actions.

Thank you for the support and reports.

well, what you know, an art theft.

This person villainofspand ( villainofspand.deviantart.com ) thinks that modifying an image makes it 'his' work.

this is the original:

mhunt.deviantart.com/art/Super…

this is what he did:

villainofspand.deviantart.com/…

He wrote a note to me after my first comment, he still thinks that because he edited that it's his work.. yeah right.. learn to draw first. My responses to his note are at the time I write this marked as 'unread'.

I reported him, let's see if something happens.

This is actually the second time this happens, but the first time, the person did put the link back to the original image and the image produced was some sort of composition with another image, not some porn like this time.

I waited to see if he removes the image before posting this reporting him but he did not.

OPEN FOR COMMISSIONS

Paid Commission information:

* Base price $35. (US dollars) (1 character/simple background)
* Comic page $90, base price. (US. dollars)
* I work digital, there's no 'hard copy' material.
* You get a full color image at 300dpi and 11x17 inches when printed.
* Price can increase depending on number of characters and situation.
* Theres always a simple background, a detailed background increases the price.
* I reserve the right to post the commission on my DA, will 'watermark' if commissioner requests.
* Provide links if specific version/look of a character is wanted. There's plenty here on DA.
* I will NOT do sex stuff.
* Commissions are done in the order that payment for it is received. No work is  started without payment.

NO REQUESTS

* No longer taking them, no fair to those who pay for commissions then later see someone get a free one.

PAYMENT INFORMATION.

* Personal check accepted US $ only
* Bank draft accepted. US $ only. (it's like a check, and, your best option if you can't mail a personal check)
* All personal checks and bank draft MUST be made to be paid to: Mauricio Hunt          -   if you use any general terms such as 'CASH' then it'll be rejected by my bank, no matter if your bank tells you that it's fine.
* Western Union: fast and safe, the best method for those in areas like Netherlands, Europe...

PAYMENT METHODS THAT FAILED

* Money orders.. my bank won't take them.
* Western Union Money Orders.. my bank won't take them. WU local offices won't change them into money, they only do transfers.
* Any check or bank draft that doesn't have my name on it, general terms such as 'CASH' are not accepted.
* Any check or bank draft that has misspelled my name, or 'corrections' over it, for example: overwriting a '4' to make it look like a '9', writing an 'x' over my name because you mispelled and then writing it again next to it.  In short words, make the check perfect.
* Electronic transfers..  they work, but.. there's always intermediaries even if you have paid for a direct transfer, so you paid for something that is not true and I don't get full payment for my work.
* Pay Pal. No way to turn this into money that I can use.
