I recently submitted an entirely original piece and signed it with my stable name. It was removed for not having credits. I was working with a mod on the problem but haven't heard from the mod for a while, and knowing that a mod's life is a busy one, I thought I would post on the forum. I submitted the picture to DA: https://wishin4horses.deviantart.com/art/Fox-and-Hound-small-copy-720583920 It was submitted to DA in exactly the same format as I originally submitted it to HEE. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You didn't use any linearts or other stock? If so, it should be credited to them as well. If not? There seems to be nothing wrong. Or perhaps you're so good that "You could never do all that." It's been known to happen a few times, sadly. Gorgeous art :D Hope everything get sorted out.

I didn't use any linearts or stock. Background, objects, animals all original. After I sketched the composition and the poses of the animals, I did look at some anatomy books to make sure I had surface anatomy in the right place and proportions correct, a reproduction of an old George Stubbs painting to see how foxhounds would be marked, and a field guide to check markings on red foxes, but I didn't copy anything. In all, it took many hours but was lots of fun.

this.

We are busy checking back any art sources and this will take more than only a few hours!
You have to be a little bit patient please!

Thank you. I will. I do still have a copies of my working sketches. Let me know if it would help to see them and I will submit them to DA.
