All I wanted to do was post one of my creations that I thought was good. I wanted to get some helpful feedback or some "Good job!"s but no, I was accused of "tracing an image", laughed at and the main reason that makes me mad is that not one person believed that I drew it.

And after all of this happening to me, I am the one who gets warned. Yes, that makes tons of sense to me. Thanks a lot you most polite and friendly community.

This is what I actually did if you were wondering:
What I did was I tried my hardest to draw the image just by looking at the picture and then trying to make my drawing exactly the same. It turned out fairly good like that, but I wanted it to be better; so I pasted in the actual image beside my replica and touched it up a bit, making sure all of the facial features were in the correct spots and making the shape of the hair and face was the hardest part. It still is a bit messy but it is still good. I guess you can see now why it took me so long to make.

On other forums, the only comments which I received were, "Great job!" or "That's terrific, keep up the good work!"

All I am asking for is an apology.

I think it turned out quite nicely. I tried to use a very little amount of colours.
