Description
I was going to upload this image with a dedication to my boyfriend who didn't feel well a few days ago and was wishing for a sexy fantasy image... after all, we had a great weekend and I was in a good mood.
Well... but then Eleria pointed me to my last image and a very 'nice' comment someone had left there, saying that I had copied it from someone and that everyone was just commenting to get a favour from me. Hm... alright. Well, I didn't know that I was throwing out gifts to anyone else than my friends... and they don't need to flatter me to be given anything, that's for sure.
So if someone knows the 'copied' image, I would be glad to have a look.
I'm not looking at the gallery images very often and I simply don't know each and everyone of them - so maybe I might have missed a portrait with the Daz Face Mask and that autumn texture (I guess there are many of them out there?!). And at the moment I'm quite tired of looking at the images with face mask textures here in the galleries - there are quite a lot of them.
I think it is quite impolite to post such a comment without even thinking about the fact that simple portraits with the face mask might be just that. Poser images with certain textures might share some similarities, don't they? And well... a portrait with a face mask - I guess there aren't so many possibilities? Maybe im's are far better for such 'concerns' than posting them right away.
Oh and again - I DID this image for Eleria WITH her Megan character - she LOVES autumn, so why on earth should I copy someone for such a simple thing? All I wanted to do was showing Meggies pretty face with something nice on it, as I LIKE portraits (frequent visitors might know that)!
Well, yes - I'm angry. So if anyone has seen my newest image from somebody else before - great! But that doesn't mean that I have. Oh! And I did everything in it myself - except for the string clothes and the shoes.
Cheers,
Michelle
P.S.:
It might be quite ridiculous to post this in here or even to think about it, but whatever... I needed it.

I wouldn't even worry about it. It seems the trolls are out in force these days. I am seeing more and more cases of people being attacked by others in galleries, on the boards, etc. It must be that season. It would be great to just tell you to forget about it, and don't dwell on it, but it is hard, I know. Great image here. Keep up the great work! (BTW: I saw the last image, and I had not seen another like it before, so I can't say if it appears you "copied" it, but considering it is just a face shot, does every celebrity mag copy off of each other? Silly argument, not really worth the breath in fighting!)
Darling, it is a beautiful image, i love you! And dont be sour, youre images are excellent and wonderful and everybody can buy the facemask for the Millennium People! ;-)
First of all - I like this image very much. It truly looks like a vision out of a dream. :-) And second - I don't understand people like the user who made that comment. I surf the galleries here a lot, but never acutally found an image that is similar to your Meggie-portrait. Don't let yourself get angry by such people. Obviously their creativity is so limited so that they have to go around and accuse random artists of all kind of weird stuff. Your portraits are sort of a 'trademark' already and not only I like them a lot and know them for quite some time now. So, just keep on posting your wonderful artwork and forget about the grudging comment. :-) hugs
Well, I will keep this short since there are already three long comments here g Point is: you do your original art, and don't have to copy from anyone. Period.---- And I like the colors in this one!
This is a wonderful image, very dreamy like and a wonderful dedication to your boy friend. I hope he's feeling better now! ^_^
Excellent and provocative. I liked it, and voted for it. I also downloded it.
With Poser it is hard to recreate one of your own images again exactly the same so i doubt you'd be able to duplicate anyone elses' or even want to! You have a style all of your own and no one can take that away from you. Btw, fabulous character and the setting is amazing! Excellent work!
Fantastic image. Great lights and character!!!
I love the elements in this, the background and lighting are wonderful and really set the scene for this beautiful character. The string outfit has never looked better. As for copying other work...with your talent there's no need and anyone who leaves those kind of messages in public should be spanked.
Sometimes those who are jealous of a nice image, have to justify it to themselves by attacking the artist. Your work is always great, and I think you should just continue to do your thing and let the poor soul, get his/her due in time as I know they will, Great image....:)
Superb image - like the lighting and the pose and the textures rock!!! ps. ignore the fools, life is too short to worry!!
Anyone who has looked at your gallery can see how beautiful is your artwork and it is made of a lot of portraits: how can anyone think you would need to copy somebody's else work? Don't worry about what they said, I know it hurts and one bad comments may sound louder than many good ones, but you know we love your art, so don't have a bad day because of it. By the way, great image as always.
Beautiful image!!!
Oh very very beautiful. I love the way that her hair flows around her. What an amazing image.
Beautiful work! So sorry that someone would say something so silly like that, they must be somewhat new to using poser.
Beautiful image, I love this blue tones and your work on hair is beautiful - EXCELLENT WORK!!!!!
Fantastic image! I love the fact that she's running through water ... something that signifies spirituality in my dreams, not to mention the water globe! And I agree with everyone above, please don't let a few hateful souls curb your creativity.
It's hard to just be silent when someone unjustly accuses you of something. I don't blame you for having your say. All your images are GREAT!!!
Beautiful render!!
Tolles Bild ! Sehr sches Model mit tollem Background und perfekter Beleuchtung. V
Ach Michelle, ger dich nicht er solche Deppen. Du machst wundersche Bilder - f mich immernoch mit die Besten hier - und mu dir solche Vorwfe absolut nicht zu Herzen nehmen. Aus derartigen "Anklagen" spricht oft nur der pure Neid - oder die schiere Verzweifelung ;o) Und auch mit diesem Bild hast du wiedereinmal bewiesen, dass du es einfach kannst. Meine Bewunderung hast du daf. Sehr hsches Bild mit einem sehr coolem Hintergrund. doppeldrk
