DO NOT POST WITHOUT ASKING

okay... never thought i'd have to resort to using bans, but people have been posting a couple of my drawings ('turtle burritos' in particular) all over tumblr. i recently created a tumblr account (against my wishes) so that tumblr users can reblog directly from there.

my picture, 'turtle burritos', is special to me. i drew it for my kid and posted it on my DA so others can enjoy it as well. that's as far as i had intended for it to go. but when i found this pic on ANOTHER web site, with comments about it, likes, and whatnot, i felt completely left out;
"hey, this is my drawing and people are talking about it and i'm not even aware of it? oh HEL no"

i like reading comments, answering them and feeling good about my art (times when i actually value my work are very rare and thus are more dear to me)



so here's the deal; DO NOT post any of my work (ESPECIALLY the one i mentioned) on tumblr or any other site. i will gladly post any of my pics to tumblr for you to reblog (or however tumblr works) so i can be informed about any comments and reply to them accordingly and stay on top of things.

yes, it does sound arrogant.

believe me, i have so very few things that make me happy in life (comments and favs being some of them) and make me feel like i ACTUALLY accomplished something in my pathetic existence when in reality, well... i'm not very proud of my life, to be honest.

i want to share my stuff with others. not have someone take it away and share it with others. i want to be part of it too. and as the 'creator', i believe that's not too much to ask.

i have ZEEERO ego and no social life. help a an emotionally starved 'artist' out and include me where my work is included T_T

You just spoke for many artists that long since given up on the force of uncontrolled sharing on internet...

Start using watermarks, if people keep on stealing your art and you really despise it, it might be the only way. Before you upload something to DA there is a watermark button. Just slam it on there! DASLAM!!!

I have to say that I'd be seriously ticked off too, so you are by no means out of bounds for being upset by this. I have a tumblr account but haven't posted anything 'cause that site is too confusing and now I'm glad I haven't. It seems that most complaints about people copying art comes from that site. I really wish I understood why people seem to think it's okay to rip off other people's hard work. I've had people try to justify it by saying "how is that any different from using the stuff copyrighted by nick, idw, etc?" The difference is you aren't claiming that it belongs to YOU. Can anyone say 'moral decay'?

yes! always put the disclaimer (even though one eventually becomes sarcastic with it ^^) it's not like we can contact the Original Fathers and ask them every time we use their work >< that's why it;s specified FANART.

no- just...no.

tumblr IS a piece of... work! i can't believe that site hasn't been- what's the word... bu~uurrned~~ hehe movie reference XD
