Wooo...how bored I was thirty minutes ago...so I decided to look up some good ol Virtual-On art here in DA. Guess what I found...Virtual-On art...that looked familiar...very very very familiar. In fact it was so familiar that I have the same pieces of art saved on my Passport HDD that date back to 2005...one year before this person submitted the art.

So I do what any sane artist would do...get on google and start searching for the original site or image. Well...much to my surprise I end up spending 20 minutes going through links of Japanese sites that I have no idea what the hell they are talking about. Lo and behold...I find the banner from the website that holds the evidence I needed, I click...and then like a slap to the face on a cold night...I get 404'ed. Yep, the site was down, probably been down for years and removed from the domain holder.

This just in! A friend who shares the same desire to punish this art thieve stumbled upon the images on what appears to be the Japanese equivalent of DA. Now we are talking! Only a matter of time before we establish contact with this artist and alert him/her of this.
