It's clear. Thank you.
Maybe this really is true. But he hasn't told yet. Adding a signature is not difficult. But you need to know the author for sure. Maybe the author will write it himself? No commercial benefit is derived from this image. Therefore, the question is rather a matter of principle. We will definitely write down the author of the original source. The main thing is to find out who he is.
I googled it, just for curiosity. Got practically nothing, except indication that author have asked to remove any searches. This can be done in Europe and typically means that someone else have used other person’s name for something questionble.
I also try to find out the artists, but sometimes that doesn't work. In addition, with many rendered images online, the artist's signature is "accidentally" lost. I don't understand that, who cares about the signature of the artist who created this picture?
We have a clear example. If the master was able to do this with this image, expand it, add an environment, change faces, then it is not difficult for a professional to remove or add a signature.
Well, the artist him/herself may care. While it's indeed very difficult to protect any claims to copyright for images posted anywhere on the internet, here at CruxForums, we do encourage members to give credit to artists when they know their identity, and we don't approve of removing signatures. It's a matter of courtesy, and of course the artist may be a member here, perhaps under a different name.
On the original it was written: "MkG2k7". Let me ask the artist to add this to the picture. This will take some time. Probably 1 day. Then we will replace the image in the post where it is placed. I hope you can help me with this.
I don't think the artist of the original version is a member here, indeed I think he is probably no longer alive.
I don't have such skills, so I turned to a professional. I couldn't control his work. I only saw the result. Tomorrow I will ask him to transfer the original logo to the image. It was also not possible to mention the author, because he is unknown to me. In the post, I only referred to the image itself, confirming by this action that this work has a primary source.
Its enough to add a small text under the signature like "based on original work of MKG" or something, imho
Yes, it was written that the original source is the MKG painting. In the morning I emailed the master and asked him to add the logo of the original source to the picture. The master did it. I gave the result to the moderator, and asked him to replace the picture in that post.

Thanks to the Master
I've inserted the version with the signature reinstated.
Adorable sketches, showing how much can be conveyed with a few clever lines and a little colour-wash. The little rag dresses make them all the more erotic for me, the one with short skirts will probably suffer longer as their legs will be well-roasted before the flames reach the hems ...
)) We don't even know his name yet
