I don't want to sound bitchy or anything. Maybe I am a little selfish, but I was asked not to post the pic I am currently working on. The requester is afraid of others using the pic for thier characters and does not want it public. I have already put alot of time into the work and want it in my profile. It would have helped knowing this from the start. I kinda feel robbed of my own drawing....any advice here???

Weird.

"Afraid of others using the pic for their character" is kind of a weak excuse. That's one of the reasons SWAG exists, speaking as one of the founding members. We're here to share ideas and artwork with anyone. Even with the lurkers who use them in their games and not once post a "thanks" or a "hi there" in the forums.

Tell him to stuff it.

According to copyright laws, (as far as I know) you own your own drawing, regardless of where you got the inspiration from, unless you signed a contract contrary, or he has a trademark on the 'likeness thereof', as in canon Star Wars characters, which isn't bloody likely.

You certainly have every right to put it in your gallery. I know scores of professionals that do commission work for big companies, and yet still retain the rights to their work, and display it in their portfolios.

Perfect answer, Dred!

Casca - unless you've been paid for this piece and it came with the proviso that the picture would not be displayed he has real gall asking for this.
Tell me he hasn't used other pictures on the site that have been done for other requests?!
I think you have every right to post this picture - what a dork!
