It Takes a Lot to Get Me Mad, But This is Enraging

You see something something in a store.
No money.
But you want it.
You take it.

You see someone walking down the street with something you like.
Something you really like.
You want it. You ask for it.
They say no.
You take it.

Neither of these scenarios are okay. It's ridiculous for me to have to tell you that, really, isn't it?

So why is it so goddamn difficult to understand that deviantART isn't just a
grab bag of ideas for people to take from?

Artists put hours, days, years of work into what they do.
It is entirely an artist's right to deny you from using their drawings, their character designs,
any of their intellectual property!

If you don't respect their decision to tell you no, or think you can just take from them, you are nothing more than a thief.

Show some respect, show you are better than that.

Don't be a thief.
