Hi! I’ve got to say I absolutely adore your art it’s impeccable and always leaves me either blushing or crying (I’ve seen the somewhat sadder or dad!character renders you’ve made and I did cry for no reason but I love them either way)

Anyway, I did read your pinned post but I’m not sure if this falls in your ‘okay’ category. Are you comfortable with us using the newer renders that have “Do Not Repost” on them? I use the old ones but lately it’s seems disrespectful if I do use the new ones because I’m not sure you are okay with me using those. Is it alright if I do use the new ones? Obviously I’ll give you credit, as always, but I want your permission first before I do so.

I hope this makes sense. Anyway, have a great day/night!😊

I've been thinking about changing the pinned post for about a month now and I've been postponing the answer to this question for a while to think it over and I came to the conclusion that I don't want my renders to be reposted in any way. Not only new ones, but also older.

If I could go back in time, I would add a huge "do not repost" watermarks from the very beggining on every render. Back then I didn't know how much some of them would blow up and who would use them in what way. I've never been in a fandom as a creator, so I learn something new with every mistake. Maybe I'm too trusting and for a long time I didn't expect that some people would sell fanart they found on the internet. People trace, sell, use without credits, remove my watermarks, edit with AI. Every new info about someone trying to sell them makes me want to give up and I really, really, really don't want that to happen. It's annoying to waste hours reporting thieves. That's why I started adding bigger and uglier watermarks and also posting less renders here and X. However, I'm still very active on Instagram and TikTok because the download option is disabled there which makes me feel more comfortable. I also post stuff on Patreon.

I love seeing my renders used in creative ways and inspiring you to do something, unfortunately every now and then I see them being used in… not so nice ways. Like adding a sw@stik@ to my Konig render, using my Dad series for pedo fics/bots or nsfw stuff that sometimes makes me a bit uncomfortable. But when I read comments that some people thought I MADE THEM because of the watermarks on them, it makes me… ughhhhh.

It really hurts me to say "no" when many of you are respectful, nice and give me credits, but there are also people who don't care and just want to use them for their own profits, not caring that someone spent long time on them.

There's also the problem with Pinterest. Even though I've never posted anything there, I've noticed that sometimes I see my art with all the info and links to my Tumblr blog. Honestly, I don't know how it works, but I don't want anything of mine there. Every time I see them, I report, but like I said, it wastes time that I could be using to create new stuff. So when someone reposts my renders here, it increases the chances of them getting on Pinterest = more stealing in the future.

Sorry I changed my mind on this, but when I saw HT recently selling my Ghost meme on their t-shirts, and then heard that the company that designed it apparently got approval from act!v!s!0n themselves, I was speechless. I guess "I thought they were official" has reached a new level.

Hello tumblr I’m feeling particularly silly

I haven’t shared it here much before but Being An Artist is my job so social media is a big part of that!

Twitter will have (or plans to have) mandatory “everything is fed to Ayy Eye :)” soon so I don’t want to post my art there without … I guess maybe watermarks but that still feels bad

Point is I need to diversify my Online Presence and I want to ask the masses what you think I should do because. Idk. Whimsy.

Reblogs appreciated. Again this is literally like … a huge part of my livelihood lol

PSA: Do NOT buy anything from ArtWisher! Watermark your art!

Notice: Before you reblog, please check the original post to see if there's any updates.

The site ArtWisher is full of stolen artwork (and random shit like tiktok screenshots). Don't purchase anything from this site because none of the money is going to the artists.

If you're an artist, even a small one, make sure you're watermarking your stuff. Please try your best to keep the same or similar username across all platforms so people can warn you if they find stuff like this. This also applies to photos and scans of traditional work as I saw that on there too.

I found my own artwork on there without my consent being pulled from the following places:

Pixilart

ToyHouse

TikTok (via screenshots)

Redbubble (via product mock up images)

These others sites also have stuff being pulled from them (that I know of):

Youtube (via thumbnails)

Tumblr

DeviantArt

Places that are likely being pulled from but I'm not sure:

ArtFight

Instagram

ArtStation

Twitter

Below the cut are some screenshots of my stuff being stolen for profit without consent:

This image is a screenshot from my art TikTok account.

These are things from my Pixilart account from YEARS ago.

A youtube thumbnail that's not mine (the video is from a music playlist I made public on my channel), A drawing that was pulled from ToyHouse before I was using a watermark on it, and a color reference I made that is on ToyHouse.

Another TikTok screenshot.

Thank you so much and I hope you enjoy my blog!

[apara-dise-penguin]

so the music video will drop at midnight. and i think midnight - USA-Time ... not my time. honestly, i'll sleep at this time, so the editing.. the gifs etc. will come later at the day. over and out. _______________________________________________________________________

i'll also think about a watermark on my stuff, because people posting my stuff on instagram, tumblr, tiktok, x… without telling who made the editings. they don't give credit,.. thats very rude and its pisses me really off. so. the watermark could be right in the face of jenna, so everyone hates it but no one would steal it. awesome. xD just a reminder, if you credit my stuff just with the name aparadisepenguin or ccalittledeath… then i would be proud of it, i would love it. but so.. some of you post my stuff, like they did the editing. just a few hours of my time, that get lost. its disrespectful, its shitty.

when im on the battlefield (tumblr dashboard) and see the enemy’s pennon (tiktok watermark on reposted video) i do not hesitate. and charge forward (scroll past it without even looking)

[catsharky]

Hey, I just wanted to let you know there’s a tiktok that used your comic about femshep and joker without credit. I’m honestly kinda new to this stuff but I tried to report them, but I don’t know if it did anything. Here’s the link: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMjaJ8cgB/ (and if this oversteps anything I’m really sorry, I just remember hearing other tumblr artists getting their work stolen and I really love your art and didn’t want it to happen to you. I hope you have a good day!)

I'm so sorry for taking so long to respond to this, but thank you for letting me know! Thankfully the person who uploaded the tiktok didn't remove my watermarks from the panels, so there's still some credit attached to it and I'm cool with letting it be.

In general though, so long as proper credit is included I don't actually mind if my work gets reposted to other social media, because I don't really use any site other than Tumblr.

To me, my art is kind of like a conversation and my way of throwing my thoughts out into the world to see how they resonate with other people. As long as someone else isn't claiming it as their own work and it's possible for other people to find the rest of my stuff if they're interested, I'm just happy to see my stuff connecting with more people (plus most of my stuff is fanart so if someone tries to make money off it, that's for the IP holders to deal with).

So if you or anyone else ever sees more of my art posted on another site, I would very much appreciate the heads up, because I'd like to see the comments/reactions it's gotten!

[paper-ketch]

hi qsmpblr (and tumblr in general)! does anyone know where i can submit a request to take down my arts that have been reposted on tiktok without my consent? there are also a lot of other people's arts that have been reposted on this tiktok too so you might want to check out if yours are there

the account that reposted my works (and others)

my original post

my original post

also, i don't know if this person read the line i wrote directly under my watermark, but i'm assuming you took these from my tumblr.

but, on the off chance you are following me here, hey, you might want to check the terms of service on my carrd

if you think i wont make a tiktok account just to get in contact with you to ask for compensation, you are sadly mistaken mate.

[speedmetalqueen]

the reposted bakugou fanart literally says the artist in the top right corner.

the artist's bluesky, which is the exact handle they signed this piece with so it was very easy to find, asks people not to repost without permission. i can‘t imagine that you got permission if you didn‘t even try to find them for yourself.

please show consideration for the people who create and share these artworks in the future. they are a cherished part of our community. let‘s treat them as such.

I meant tag them on here I did see the name- idk I just came across it on a random TikTok edit account. And liked the picture. How the fuck am I suppose to know the artist doesn’t want their stuff reposted - they usually put a watermark over their art that says not to repost.

Bro, I see it be reposted on TikTok many times and decide oh let me share it too cuz I was trying to find it on tumblr and couldn’t-

Imma need you to have that same energy and go message every TikTok this same thing 🤡

Art theft in COD community

This is something that has been on my mind for a long time, but I didn't have the courage to say it out loud. Lovely @namedlunagoddess uploaded tik tok and it motivated me to write this post.

I've been fighting with art theft lately, like many artists in cod community. People don't appriciate our hard work and use us for their popularity. From what I noticed, a lot of them follow my accounts, because when I upload something, they quickly repost it on pinterest or tiktok without credits. Pls understand me, I do it all for free. One render can take me several hours or more. For example, I spent 2 days on the last one, because I didn't like how it was turning out and started from scratch several times - when I share something, I want to be fully satisfied with it. It is EXAUSTING when you need ask for the bare minimum (credits) and even then you're not listened.

You probably noticed that I upload everything in lower and lower resolutions with bigger and bigger watermarks. These are not full pics - I crop them to non-standard resolutions, and 16:9 are only on my Patreon, because I'm sick of art theft. Why? I had a few cases of people selling my art as designs for t-shirts, phone cases, stickers, etc. Previously, I tried to hide watermarks so that they would not be so eye-catching, but people were using it against me. Tik tok and Pinterest are the biggest-*censored* For example, this is what happens when ppl don't give credits and edit out my watermarks

Then they end up on pinterest with thier tik tok name:

Good examples of giving credits (I LOVE ALL OF YOU AND THANK YOU!! ♥)

DO NOT REPOST

Another thing that annoys me is reposts of my art, even here on tumblr. When you do that, you are taking away my credits. I try to make everything available on different platforms, but I guess it still doesn't help. Most people can't read watermarks and will assume that if you upload it - you are the author.

It takes me 6 hours (on average) to make one render, and it takes you 6 seconds to write credits. Please respect my work, because more and more I want to drop everything and stay only on Patreon.

Sometimes I feel that what I do is not appreciated. I don't want much, and yet I feel like everything is being taken away from me. EDIT: I don't mean using my art as an inspiration to fanfics, headcanons, banners etc. If You give me credits - we're good, so no worries! Use them as much as You like ♥♥♥

[whimsii-cal]

and this marks the third fucking time someone has reposted my werdo designs without credit or permission and gotten more recognition for it than I do. This makes my blood boil I’m so sick of this. They always use the old stuff too so there’s no watermark or anything. I am going to Kill

and theres a reason I tend to only post my stuff to tumblr and don’t want it reposted on sites like Pinterest and TikTok. I have a target audience. That target audience is queer and neurodivergent people who don’t believe in cringe culture. When people post my shit outside of that target audience I get fucking heckled for it and when i see those comments I feel like crawling into a hole and letting the earth reclaim me.

I still haven’t stopped thinking about all the stuff people said that time someone put my guys on tiktok. that hurt so much. I hate this. why can’t people at least fucking ASK BEFORE THEY REPOST MY WORK.STOP. STOP IT. GOD.

how many other times has this been reposted that I don’t know about. how many people are laughing at me or think my art is weird and cringe. this will haunt me always. I hate this

If you see my designs and art reposted anywhere without credit please please please help me out and comment my username/tell people I made it/tell the reposter to take it down or at least credit me. this keeps happening. please

[bbygirl-aemond]

@maegor_the_cool on tiktok word-for-word stole your post about queen alysanne and is passing it off as their own in the comments on their most recent video. when i asked them about it, they claimed they didn't know it was yours and they got it from a forum, which doesn't really make it okay that they pretended it was their own words, and now they're claiming you gave them permission but i highly doubt it. just thought i'd let you know.

Oh, lovely! No, this person has never contacted me, I just looked through my entire inbox to make sure. I went and checked out the video and yep they literally took it verbatim. For reference y'all, here is the original post, which you can see I made on 2/28/2023. The TikTok creator got it from this post, which you can see was made on 3/7/2023, over a week after I made my original post. The forum poster is also passing off my content as their own in the comments on that thread. And here are screenshots from the TikTok posted 14 hours ago, since they turned sharing off:

...So I guess this is time to remind everyone that if you repost my stuff without my knowledge and without crediting me, you are doing so without my permission and I do not support it. I've said yes to 100% of the people who've asked me permission, so I don't understand why this seems to be a recurring issue. Also, a 1-minute Google search for this post would have turned up my blog, so it's not like this person couldn't find me because it was too hard. They just didn't check their source before using it. It's a shame, because I checked out the comments and we both 100% agree on the subject matter.

Here's a handy little guide to how to responsibly and respectfully repost my content:

Send me an ask with information about where to find the repost (usually platform + username will do). I'll say yes, but just please ask me so I know it's out there.

Credit me VISIBLY in the post. Please don't hide it somewhere, make it front and center the way an artist does with their watermark. In fact, putting my Tumblr URL in as a watermark is a super easy way to do this!

If you come across my content but you don't know it's me, but you for sure know it's not YOURS, maybe don't pretend it's yours? And maybe spend 1-2 minutes copying and pasting it into Google, which will lead you right to my blog.

If the content has been posted in multiple places, it's still really easy to find the original. Check the dates the posts were made and use the earliest post when crediting. For example, in this instance, the forum post was made a week after mine, which proves mine to be the original. Again, it only takes 1-2 minutes to check this using Google.

I really would prefer for them to delete the video and reupload it with proper credit, especially since it's been up for only 14 hours. There's a link here that explains how you can do this while saving the video so you don't have to re-format everything. I'd also prefer for the forum poster to acknowledge that they stole my content. But this is the Internet, so while I can ask for people to be honest and respectful about my content I unfortunately can't enforce it. :(

Edit: The TikTok creator reached out to me and they've re-uploaded the video with credit, which I appreciate! And they did get consent from the forum poster, just unfortunately that poster had stolen it from me. It's still not great that they didn't check their source, and that they didn't even credit the forum user at first. It's a good practice to copy and paste something into Google to check that you do indeed have the original source before reposting.

The forum user has now added a line to credit me at the top of his post. I'm still pissed at him for trying to get away with passing my words off as his own though. At least the TikTok creator asked the forum user first, but the forum user just stole my words without even asking me. What a man moment, to steal the credit for a woman's ideas 😒

[just-antithings]

At this point idc if I'm being annoying but any time I see fanart being reposted on tumblr and people don't notice and reblog I send an anon telling them it's against the artist's wishes to repost their work (if that's the case and usually it is the case)(and these reposters never give credit and are such assholes when you tell them to take it down).

And the thing is, so many people don't really notice? Especially if the repost starts gaining notes?

Idk if it's laziness, not caring or something else but it's weird to me that this is so common, I personally almost always notice if op's name is different from the watermark and that sends sirens blasting in my brain to check the blog before interacting.

After doing this so often the whole "I don't support people who disrespects artists by not listening to them when they say don't reblog!" seems extremely performative, it's sad.

I don't want to be that person, but I blame tiktok fully for this, very rarely will you see somebody give credit there and with it's popularity and constant migration of masses online, the bad habits people get on tiktok get transferred to other places (being inappropriate to actors where they can see it, reposting anything without permission, bullying and sexually harassing people to mention a few).

There was finally some progress towards listening to artists, we're back to square one. Sorry for the long rant but I needed to get it off my chest.
