Artist's commentary
In Awe of Raw Power by Drachea Rannak
Open Letter to Nads
I have approached you a couple times in life.
Do not use my work without permission. That I know of you stopped.
Then you used a piece I commissioned.
Do not use my work without permission. I thought you had stopped.
THEN
NO NO NO
This is not okay. I already told you NO to using, posting, selling, etc this very work. So you remove it from dA to go put it up on REDBUBBLE?! What the literal F***?!
Your watchers may love your art. I just wish there was a way to show them the art before you traced it and bastardized it. Your entire gallery is a complete hackjob. A complete lie. I won't say you don't have skill because I don't know if you have skill since all you do is trace. No one knows if you have skill. I doubt you even know if you have any actual talent because you refuse to even try.
In the end, this is how it
Edit November 1 2014h1. I AM THE OWNER OF THIS WORK. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE PERMISSION FROM ME TO MAKE A PROFIT OR EDIT/ALTER IT IN ANY WAY, YOU CAN'T DO IT. END OF DISCUSSION. I AM SICK OF SEEING YOU PEOPLE RIP IT OFF, POST WITHOUT CREDIT AND TRY TO MAKE MONEY OFF OF IT. STOP IT!
I commissioned this work from Drachea Rannak for the Sailor Moon Community as a whole - no matter who you are, your art skill level, your number of or lack of OCs... for YOU. The premise behind this idea is that Sailor Moon IS THE MOST POWERFUL SENSHI. Her Eternal form, no matter how we try to make a bigger, better, badder, more powerful form is THE ULTIMATE FORM (notwithstanding the manga universe where it can be argued that her ultimate form is when she becomes Sailor Cosmos). So what we have here is my four most favorite "upgrades" to Sailor Moon's fuku paying respect to her ultimate form, Eternal Sailor Moon.
I did NOT commission this work for you to rip off. Period.
RESPECT PLEASE
I don't ever repost works I have commissioned out of respect for the original artist as I want them to get all the attention for the work they do. With that said, there has been a rash of illegal uses of this work. So let me break it down for you all Barney-style.
Red Square Bullet Red Square Bullet Red Square Bullet YOU CANNOT
Bullet; Red
Make a profit.
Bullet; Red
Edit it (includes tracing, basing, recoloring).
Bullet; Red
Repost anywhere without ALL the credits!
Everything else is all milk-and-cookies-happy-awesome-time.
No need to ask permission to upload with credits for personal fun and adoration. If you were one of the few who was able to catch the lineart of this work and want to upload your colored version OR give away freely the ORIGINAL LINEART BY DRACHEA for others to color, go for it! WITH CREDITS. Go make a shirt or poster of it for yourself, as a gift to a friend, whatever (just don't make money off of it).
Just remember that this is NOT STOCK and is NOT REFERENCE MATERIAL. All these FanOCs have homes already. And this work has two owners already. Let's not put anymore hands in the pot, okay?
Little Pixel Heart Little Pixel Heart Little Pixel Heart CREDITS THE RIGHT WAY!

Sailor Moon belongs to Naoko Takeuchi while the powered up OCs versions belong to: iLantiis (Twilight Sailor Moon); SnowLady7 (Crystal Sailor Moon); stefanolattanzio (Supreme Sailor Moon) and SilverStar-Aanti (Saint Sailor Moon)
Note that I have gotten married. You can use either last name in the credits so long as you use one of them.
THANKS!PS: No, I will not provide the full image for download. Please visit Drachea's fanpage to tell him how awesome he is and get the download link for the original by actually viewing this work in his page.This commission was originally posted by Drachea Rannak on my behalf November 27th 2012 here. ANYONE ELSE claiming this work as theirs for any reason is a liar and a thief. Report them TO ME so I can take care of the situation. dA and other sites WILL NOT listen to your reports but because the work is owned by me, they will remove it if I report it. And PLEASE DO NOT harass the would-be thieves about it. That won't help the situation.
