Hi, if you wish to post art from my blog please have the courtesy to request permission from both myself and the artists before doing so in future. It is in your best interest to do so. Artists really appreciate communication.
I have received a lot of mixed feelings in e-mails in regards to your blog after showing it to various people, commissioners and artists alike. A few have asked me to send this e-mail to you. There are several errors you have made in crediting characters and works and others have gone uncredited.

Everybody has a different standard. Some are happy to just get credited and recognized, others want complete autonomy. If I can't find a credit, I don't give one. I always do my best to credit people and link back to their sites/blogs/deviant art page. I'm human, I make mistakes. If anyone you know has reason to feel slighted or abused by my use of their creations please let me know or, better still, have them contact me and I will remove their art from the blog(s). I will also post an apology and remove any links I have to their work.
Henceforth, please accept my apology for not inquiring whether or not you would allow me to post art featured on your blog on Mythulinity. I won't be doing it again. I will try to do a better job of crediting artists in the future.
If it appears that this doesn't satisfy people then I will do the only thing that makes any real sense: end the blog and stop promoting other people's work.
I'd be thrilled to find my work linked to another blog or website just as I was thrilled to get such a nice write up for Mythulinity on Boytoons Magazine. I realize other people aren't thrilled by unasked for attention for various reasons.
My apologies,
Greg German (Blogs: Mythulinity, Superversity, Centaurica)
