#I think its important to be upfront and honest about an artist's boundaries in regards to their art

Do you mind if I use your art as a pfp w/credit. Hunter fan

Sorry, but I don't allow use of most of my digital art as profile pictures (even if I am given credit)

My art is drawn to look a certain way and cropping for a pfp sometimes takes away from its meaning and/or integrity. Also, it straddles a bit on the line of reposting (at least to me), which happens enough already on a regular basis.

I understand you have good intentions though, and I'm very flattered that you believe my art is suitable enough to use as a profile picture!

I am also glad that you took the time to ask me directly instead of simply using my art without permission, I know this is something that tends to happen a lot, I've noticed this especially within large fandoms, even if it may seem harmless to most.

Though, I keep getting a lot of asks and comments like this asking to use my art as pfp (it's super flattering y'all like my art so much, it's really sweet 💕).

Maybe one of these days I'll make a batch of pfp for you guys to use them with my permission (+ credit of course). I just hit over 500 followers on my Twitter + almost 800 on here so maybe I could do something with that if y'all want :D

Regardless, the answer for now is "no" and also thank you again for going out of your way to ask. I really appreciate your courtesy!
