A response to Tumblr

So I’m gonna go through every point said in the long post (and anything additional from reblogs) as best as I can:

1) No source on the Tsubasa drawing.

Yeah that was completely my bad and I fully apologise for that (especially after saying that I would source all my drawings), my only defence for that was that I uploaded it from my mobile so I couldn’t source it properly when it first went up and I should’ve edited it in once I was on the computer. And I know that’s not gonna be treated as a valid excuse so again I fully accept that one.

2) The KO Cosplay part.

a) No it’s not traced, and this is gonna end up being the recurring theme in the rest of this answer. So you can believe what you want, I know I didn’t trace it. To be honest, I’d feel the same as most of you do if it was me seeing this about someone else. But again, I know I didn’t trace it, and if I was guilty of tracing, after the signal boost that this whole thing has got, I would admit it right here and now that I had done that.

b) The car crash…actually yes I did know about an accident she was in, and I’ve been buying her prints and supporting her for a long time, even being a part of the funding to make it possible for her to attend the Fighters Cause special photoshoot.

3) The Halloween Sora drawing.

I actually sourced that one when it was uploaded. And it wasn’t even the one provided in the long post. This is the image I used which is official art. So whoever drew that image provided in the long post has done exactly the same thing before me.

4) The KH 1.5 Sora

Yeah it’s official artwork, but again it’s not traced as I was looking at my wall scroll of it while it’s been hanging on my wall. Again, you can believe as you see fit.

5) The SoKai drawing

When I first uploaded it on dA, I didn’t know who the original artist was as I’ve had that image saved to my computer for absolute ages and it didn’t have the wording, the KH logo or the url on the bottom. That’s why when I orignally uploaded it, I asked in the description if anyone could find it for me so I could put it in the description afterwards, to which someone very kindly commented with it and I promptly placed it in the description afterwards. So no, I didn’t have permission for the pure sake I didn’t know who the original artist was, so I apologise for that one.

7) The whole “commissions” thing

This is the one that’s getting a lot of people confused. Because you’re getting the impression that I am selling these. I mean, yes there was that period of time when I did the t-shirts that was mentioned and I had already admitted I was wrong in doing that. However that was years ago now, I only did a few back then and I have never ever done any since, nor have I had any commissions for any drawings at all. So since that little moment of stupidity, I have not done anything for profit.

—————

Overall, I can only repeat the point I made above, you can believe what you want whether I’ve traced or not, and I know you probably feel like I have…

But hand on heart and swearing on my life, I don’t trace. If I did, I’d say I did right now, but I can’t. I’m not delusional, I know from right and wrong, and I apologise for the mistakes I’ve made in trying to make sure I’ve done the right thing in sourcing properly.

So I know there’s likely nothing in all this that has changed your minds, and there’s nothing I can do about this spreading any further, I can only say what’s what.

That is my response, and I can't really say any more on the matter. I'm not trying to play the victim, I'm just wanting to set records straight.
