I've had this deviant account for a long time now, and I do a lot of drawings (though not so many recently), but I tend to have a certain fear about putting them up online. It doesn't help that when I ask my friends about DA, they all tell me it's a terrible idea and a sure way to have your art stolen. I wonder though. I mean, anyone who is a decent artist wouldn't want to steal my art anyway (and a decent person wouldn't), and if someone just likes it and wants to save it on their computer to admire... well, I put a copyright on there; as long as that isn't removed, it's fine.

Lately I find myself really getting into the art and stories posted on the pages of other deviants though and, thus, the deviants themselves. I rather feel like I can't create any real relations with other deviants though if I hide away and don't share my own work. Yet the hesitation is still there.
