Confused. (Pixiv MyPick and a new image).

Posted under General

I uploaded an image a few months back (post #713674). Somewhere down the line the source of the image got the MyPick message mentioned in forum #50128.

That's all fine and dandy, but just a moment ago I was doing my usual search of the Dragon Quest III Sage... and found this:

http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=medium&illust_id=15787715

It appears to be the exact same image. I haven't checked the md5 hash or tried to upload it here or anything. I don't know if this is art theft, or what. Any suggestions?

(Also, I can't remember how to put external links into normal sentences like you can with normal forums, sorry.)

EDIT: Maybe I should just go ahead and change the source and artist, since looking at the other guy's profile and website suggest that this really is his image, and I don't know how I got the source that's on the image now, considering the artist's style is completely different.

It might just be that the artist created a new pixiv account to separate his works. The new account might be for his commercial works as the website linked displays those kind of listings and is more adult-oriented (Comic MUJIN, ero-doujin).

The name tz also corresponds with his pixiv handle, homepage and twitter account.

Thanks. Anyway, I'll do what I said I was gonna do and change the source and the artist, though if they are the same person like psich should we just combine the two? I'd rather we confirm that the two profiles are the same artist first, however.
