And isn't it kinda unfair that you just deleted it? I didn't download that picture, so the two hours I spent on improving it has gone down the drain =/

A quick google image search shows that the Eevee itself was actually derived entirely from a dA work by the user Arzaela, with a slight edit to its face. So if it's not a direct copy-paste, then it's a trace, and those aren't allowed either, I'm afraid!

Also, Losing work is frustrating, yes - but I'm afraid we don't exactly have any way of knowing you didn't back your stuff up - nor is it our responsibility to back it up for you. Something to keep in mind for the future.

Oh, okay, sorry =( Is there any way I can get the image back? I could just get rid of the Eevee on her dress. I have no idea how to get it back and I really don't want to spend ages colouring in her hair pink and changing up her clothes again =/

SylvieThePokemonTrainer

Never mind. So, there's seriously no way of getting it back now? =( It also sucks because when I reloaded up the image of Me As A Pokemon Trainer to improve it, the hair went all glitchy so I couldn't just use the Fill button. I don't download any of my images, I just upload them...

Normally there wouldn't be a way to restore it - but by a stroke of sheer luck it appears that google managed to cache the thing. I've sent it to you via a private conversation (as a 'reply' to the warning you received).

SylvieThePokemonTrainer

Thank you! =D Loyaldis managed to Google it and find it for me just before you did =) People on Pokecharms are so kind!

We generally try to be ^^ I'm glad this got resolved. Just do yourself a favor and refrain from tracing other people's works or incorporating them into your works in any way in the future, please. We have a degree of lenience regarding -official- pokemon art, but that's as far as it goes. ^^

SylvieThePokemonTrainer

I'm really sorry, I just didn't think doing that would be breaking the rule. It is okay to re draw the official Pokemon right? Because PLEASE do not delete my Pokemon 30 Day Drawing Challenge drawings!

Don't worry. There was a misunderstanding, it was handled, you know better now. ^^ That's part of what warnings are for - they're generally meant more to educate than to punish unless we absolutely must.
