Yeah, normally I'd only need a passport... being a canuck and all. But I'm getting married in the U.S.A. this year (to a girl I met on NG nonetheless), and I'm still waiting for the fiancé visa... :(

Have fun though! I know you will, because I went at the office the past two Pico Days... and it's ALWAYS A BLAST! :D
Plus you'll get to do this:

That really sucks, especially that they phootshopped your name out, what a d-bag move. *sigh*

It's only going to get worse too, since it seems like everyone just takes people creating things for granted now. Like downloading illegal movies.. people just expect stuff to be there for free and they rarely stop to think of how much time might have went into something.

Art is hilarious, great job... guess you'll have to add some watermarks :-/

I remember seeing this on Reddit and saying to myself, "These are really spot on impressive."

Then I started to wonder who would put this much time into Pokemon related fan art to turn into Memes. AND THEN, I remembered your amazing Pokemon fan art.

Then? I made myself some toast.

In the end? I knew it had to lead back to Sab.

Problem with watermark is that it can be easily removed too =/
But it helps.

I know how you feel sabs, i personally hate looking at art with watermarks on, but at the same time it sadly is one of the things that has to be done these days, as much as i would love to fly over to philly to meet up at the pico day event. I'm counting my pennies as times are harsh, hopefully il get a chance to meet you in person one day. :D

Would it have killed them to leave in the signature? That happened with Knocturne not too long ago. Surprisingly with another pokemon pic. Sucks on many levels.

Although I'm never going to watermark my images ever. Just strikes me as a very tasteless (less so then art theft) thing to do and can really detract from the image.

i might be out for pico day, never been to philly

I share your pain.

My Terran Medic picture was stolen and reposted on those sites as well, and several modifications of it (signature removed) were made with different faces, including the infamous Boxxy. Now it's everywhere.

For instance, this crappy modification <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzTShCCo1CM">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzTShCCo1CM</a> has roughly twenty times more pageviews than all the ones I ever got on deviantart and newgrounds combined.

Fuck them thieves!
