I'm probably wasting my time posting this here. If you're taking the time to read my journal, you're probably the people who take the time to read artist comments on their deviations. But just in case . . .

Please stop faving my artwork without reading my comments.

I say this because back in 2004 I made a character named Elika in a comic series that we've worked on here and there called Wake Odyssey.

I posted this drawing back in 2006: [link]

In 2008, Ubisoft put out Prince of Persia with a character named Elika in it.

I guess people search "Elika" here on DA and throw whatever comes up as Elika in their Prince of Persia collections. Despite the fact that if they would actually look at the drawing, she looks quite different from PoP's Elika, I updated my artist comment to clarify the confusion hoping it would stop. Well, it hasn't. And it's a little annoying.

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate faves. I don't even mind people who binge-fav everything in my gallery (though I don't really see the point). Just please take the time to actually LOOK at my work and READ my comments. And I'm sure I'm not just speaking for myself, I bet there's a lot of artists here who would be thrilled to know someone actually reads what they have to say about their art.

There's just too many people don't really bother with the art. It seems they just fave whatever happens to come up when they search for a character they like.
