Hey, just wondering if anyones had problems with their commissioners taking art that you drew or otherwise created and posted it on their fur affinity account. I have one customer whom I've done character sheets, a badge, an icon and most largely a fursuit for, all of which ended up on his fur affinity. I've asked him to at least give me credit in the comment area, which he did for less than half of them. However, it doesnt seem like anyone is reading that and he is getting 90% of the credit for the work, and has 30 people watching 'his' artwork when nothing that he has created himself is in the gallery, every last piece is mine. Just wondering what to do about this, I really dont want to tell him off for it or report him or anything, but I worked very very hard on everything there and I want credit for it.

And if he doesn't, report him to furaffinity for art theft.
If you're getting credit for someone else's art, then technically it's art theft and they can be banned from FA.
Start getting 'legal' (well, FA legal) on their arse and if they still don't stop it then report them, simple as that.
It's always a pity, but just the same you can't let yourself be walked over like that.
or something along thoee lines.
In any case, it's technically art theft, and isn't allowed on the community.
The guy wouldn't have a golden dragon character would he? There was somebody with a golden dragon anthro who made a big carry-on on dA because the mods kept removing the work when he did something similar. Apparently he thought that because it was -his- character in the commission that made it a collab, not a commission.
Either way, you are in the right here. Good customer or not, he doesn't have the right to get comments and favourites for work you created. Tell him that if he wants to show them off, he'll need to display them in a manner that makes it clear that you did them and he needs to stop accepting kudos for others people's hard work, and I personally wouldn't work for anyone again who did that to me.
After all, you still own redistribution rights until explicity agreed upon otherwise.
I've had my work reposted on FA, though I was credited... but she put a big watermark on the image o_O That was kind of weird, since I posted the non-watermarked version in my own gallery, and I should be the one worried about theft, not her.
