That's my deviant-art account... but.... I hate deviant-art, not for what it is, its great exposure for artists, but for all the ripping off of work that goes on there. I've put up pictures in my early days without copyrights on them, and within MINUTES they were in other people portfolio's with their copyright photoshoped on them and they come after ME for stealing art.... It's bull.

So i stick to my website mostly, since I can control (to an extent) people ability to copy/right click on my images.

Sadly right click disable does nothing to protect your work. It just slow me a couple of seconds. I used to collect images from sites with right click enable and send them to the owners just to show them how useless it is.

Oh, I know, if someone wants something, they're going to get it, anyone who puts anything on the internet should know that.

Any suggestions though?

The only thing you can do to protect your work is digital watermarks or steganography. I kinda like steganography myself, but even it isn't guaranteed to protect, only provide an evidentiary trail for a forensic investigator.
