Welll it's tinypic!
Your self portrait actually makes me think of an anime character but I can't quite put my finger on it. I thought Alucard initially, but I doubt it.
The lady has strong legs. Wonder if the adjacent muscles are just as strong!

Small image discourages art theft. Anyone can get a small picture off of google or something, but to pass it off as your own you'd need a much larger resolution. So art thieves usually go for larger pictures.
Looks awesome. I like the texture, and I agree it gives off a cool Hellsing vibe.

Thanks to technology, anyone with a little patience can just vectorize and make the necessary adjustments.
I did this in about 5 minutes for demonstration. Someone who was determined to steal a specific artwork could do much better.

What's sad is they're teaching this in graphic design these days, so kids can go off and steal photos or other artwork that they need and create good quality, usable copies.

Yeah, it sucks but there's not much you can do about art theft, except make sure you post somewhere that keeps track of the date, which will let you prove you did it first, have a video showing you drawing it, or have a copyright set up for it.
If you have Deviantart, I think it's a good thing to use, since it lists the date and you can probably report anyone that plagiarizes, and you'd probably get subscribers that also would support and watch out for you.
I like how the drawing came out, even though I thought it was a guy at first by the face shape. xD The shading and details are nicer than the older art.

Its safer to be an active artist than a flopper. You get more subscribers, more publicity, and recognition around the net. If I was a theif, I would steal from an inactive artist with no to less publication. Or draw at a beginner level, only a dumbass would take a higher quality art (which most art theif in DA get Pixiv)

Thankfully art thieves usually dont have this kind of patience. And the majority of them are dumbasses that take art from popular deviantarts or tumblrs where they're bound to be caught lmao

Deviantart doesnt protect your art that much to be honest. The number of art thieves that have been reported only to have nothing done to them is ridiculous. Yeah if you have a decent fanbase they can let you know "hey someone is using x", but many times nothing happens past that. And i havent seen an instance where the dating/copyright system helped either. The DA watermark doesnt always show up if the image is put up for download, and the copyright at the bottom doesnt protect your work either (it's really for show).
The only site I've used that actively tries to protect your work is anipan.
