.......... All I have ever dreamt about. Drawing and become known among
the little people for what I draw seems to have come true. But not in
the matter I dreamt it would be... I know that there are people out
there who likes what I draw. But it seems that this little subject of
"Jade" having some resemblance to Des Lee (Copyright James Hardiman)
keep comming up... I seriously can't take it any more - I have had
enough...
You can say it is foolish or what ever you would call it. But who is the
fool..? The one who removes his work and his dreams from the masses so
that the majority can stay happy...? Or the once who "slays" a "new
born" creator for what he has made - Even if it brought happyness to
some..? Who..?
I know that this may sound silly in your ears, but since I apeared in
this community and pressanted Jade to you all, I was just trying to make
people happy with what I enjoyed making... But all I ever hear over and
over again is people calling me a copy-cat...
Right now my mind is set, and I have more or less lost all interest in
this kind of community (The Furry-Community)... It is true that I have
met people who greated my and giving me a thumbs-up, but I have
encounterd even more peple who would rather see me hang because they
believe that I steal James M. Hardiman's art and using it in my own
name...
I honor the art other artists have made and they all have my deepest
respect... But if you all keep chasing new artists away this community
will come to an end sooner then you think...
All of this has made me extreemly sad and I will not bother you with my
words no more...

No Martin!, don't do something foolish like that. I got this argument
started, and you were a bystander that was used for the sake of
argument. I didn't mean to start this mess and I'm sorry to the group,
and especially to you. I'm a Scaly and I really like your Jade and
I could always tell that she was a different species of lizard than Dez.
Please don't let her disappear over a stupid Flame, there's so few
sexy lizard girls around so we can't afford to lose any of them!
Please reconsider

Exactly, Martin.
Jim likes your work, Des does, I do, most of those here do, so don't let
one
person get you down.
Keep up the good work.
