Hi Kasterborus,
Regarding the user luxaloverzy who you replied to me on a comment earlier regarding a piece of artwork made by Gavin Rymill and Clayton Hickman, that DeviantArt user has now deleted the upload, including another one, also produced by another user called Matt Amatt.
You see, earlier in the week, I noticed Luxaloverzy had uploaded the same picture by Matt . . twice !! . . just recoloured the image, and I did explain to the user that it was not their work, and that they should credit Matt, along with a link to his Twitter to post in the description, but the user tried to fob me off with excuses, but now, they have deleted them both, so if your view that users page now if you have a moment, you'll see they are both deleted.

I've actually blocked this rather horrid little thief, and given a warning to another DeviantArt user who produces fantastic Tardis console room uploads, all 100% officially his I can assure you, as I didn't want Luxaloverzy to go nicking my friends work, so I blocked the user and told my friend to block the user too, case the bad user get's it into his head to search for other fan made works and claim them to be his.
Wouldn't surprise me if everything on Luxaloverzy's page is stolen to be frank.
In regards to the comment you wrote to me about Gavin Rymill and Clayton Hickman's picture, the bad user just changed a picture of Matt Amatt's to the one by Gavin and Clayton, so by the time you saw the one by Gavin and Clayton, that's because the picture was changed by the bad user user from a picture by Matt, to the one by Gavin and Clayton, so yeah, one stolen piece of art replaced by another stolen piece of art.
Anyways, that's enough explanation I'm sure. Hope you have a nice weekend whatever you happen to be doing . . oh . . and sorry for the long comment in advance.

Ah, I see! I realised afterwards that this might be what happened. I'm also a fan of Harry Amatt's work, and that of a lot of other TARDIS artists, so I always keep an eye out for these people stealing their work. DeviantArt seems to be a magnet for these idiots. I have no time for art thieves.
In fact I uploaded some Doctor Who and Star Trek ideas of my own at one point, and removed everything when some arsehole deliberately stole them and sent me taunting messages asking what I was going to do about it. (The answer to that was I had his account banned, and when he sent me a grovelling apology from a new account asking to have his account unbanned because he had some artwork on there that he wanted to recover, I had that account banned as well.)
Yeah, I'm the same, if I tend to notice artwork on YouTube Video's for example that I know came from here, I will inform the owner of the work. Sometimes they are glad that I've told them, others tend not to care . . or simply not reply . . probably because they've been ignoring DeviantArt for absolutely ages.
I recently came across some guy on here earlier this week who appeared to have made Dalek figures using a couple of my uploads here. I asked him to credit me because he featured the 2 Daleks in the middle of these uploads on his, in the end, found out he just decided to delete them.
A Doctor Who fan called Rob Semenoff once had a hell of a time dealing with a complete fool called Steve Gale, who claimed Rob had stolen Tardis related work Steve I think claimed he made. In the end, Steve Gale was just proven to be a moron making up rubbish over time, had no proof what so ever against Rob, as spoken about by Rob himself on this Video.
I know Rob Semenoff of old, I remember the Steve Gale debacle very well. Absolutely disgusting given Rob is one of the best fan artists going and has been around for a long time. His TARDIS interior work in particular is extraordinary.
