I cannot believe the incompetence (harsh as this word is, incompetence is still the only way I can describe it) of the devart administrator who removed my images as copyright violations.
Based on what, I can only surmise it was because of my signature that had the harry potter doll maker link.
I am still in disbelief about all of this.
I feel so soiled and violated at the moment. It is so hurtful when you are wrongly accused in this manner and in a public forum that it is difficult to describe. I have described their process similar to the way Salem witch trails were held. Neighbors could safely accuse someone of being a witch while remaining anonymous in the process. The burden of proof then fell to the 'witches' to prove they werent witches. Damage is already done, they have publicly been called witches, and they are already termed guilty in the eyes of the community. This process MUST change. It is so wrong, I was about to upload an updated fleur delacour character but I don't want it to be deleted.
When the work is clearly mine and a paper trail so easy to see (see my journal for some of the work I did to prepare the images and create them, elouai.livejournal.com), indicates a level of laziness that really has very little regard to the artist and their works.
Okay, maybe they have some doubts, please ask me and I can easily show them the process.
Maybe the base was always the same, and they did not like that, but doing caricatures with those restrictions and getting them to look exactly like their real life counterpart takes a LOT of work. This is not a simple process by any means.
I was furious, now I am just depressed and upset. Violated best describes what I am feeling right now
They even removed animated turtwig O_O!!!
I had received permission to animate the drawing by Momogirl? Why was that removed.
Amazed and shocked I am.
[edited my journal to remove 'insulting' elements in it and explain a few points more clearly]

Copyright Infringement, mistakes by the devart sys
I think I may now understand what is going on.
BTW I have not yet received any emails back from the support desk.
The most likely reason for removing my dolls can only be this
FAQ #502 : http://help.deviantart.com/502/
Can I submit 'Dolls' or 'Characters' which I made on certain websites?
Here is the section that I think they would have used.
"As many of the original owners of these websites prohibit this activity, and since the resulting 'dolls' are not original works and require no effort at all to assemble, we do not allow these pre-fabricated pieces of pixelart to be submitted to deviantART, nor may you use isolated pieces from the
