RE: Working on the painting 'Dissolution of Form' - Part 3

@sources - It is his own original work - you guys are a frigging nuisance - go back under the bridge where you came from! But maybe there isn't room for all the trolls that seem to proliferate on Steemit these days!

You are just thoughtlessly following that troll @jaguar.force who is stalking @gric. Before you make any kind of unfounded comments, better do your research and show exactly what you are talking about! Post an example of what he is supposed to have copied!

@thermoplastic, it's a simple bot which gets triggered by commenting with "!sources". The @jaguar.force troll is using/abusing it to annoy and intimidate artists here on Steemit.

ah, I understand - good to know - I will be on the lookout for Jaguar images then! I traced a few of them already being ripped off wallpaper blogs.

[sources]

When posting content that either is owned by someone else or inspired by someone else’s works, it is proper to list the said source in your post with a link to the original.

Failing to do so is considered plagiarism, and could result in being blacklisted by curation groups or even flagged.

Examples include:

• Using another artist's original drawing/painting/digital art as a “study” or inspiration without linking the original and giving credit to the original artist.
• Linking to someone else’s YouTube video with no source.
• Using someone else’s photos or text without linking to the original source etc.

Please make sure you do so in the future, thank you.
