abd-illustrates: So earlier today I mentioned posting some “remastered” versions of my old works, and here they are! In the past, I’d always been reluctant to add watermarks to my work, because I felt they’d detract from the pictures themselves; however over the course of the past week alone I’ve been met with too many instances to count of people reposting my work without my permission, both credited and not. This is genuinely one of the biggest dickmoves you can make to an artist, as it’s a case of taking their hard work, stuff that they are genuinely proud of and that they spent time and effort making, and throwing it out in a frequently random and completely out of context manner without even having the courtesy to ask first, and -in some instances - expecting them to appreciate it. While I’m aware that this is a sadly incredibly common occurrence, I maintain that it really doesn’t need to be. Regretfully however, I am likely going to have to start watermarking my work like this. I was thinking something along the lines of;Don’t be a Dick,Don’t Repost. -- source link
