Stop using my smiler art uncredited/ect in art
4 months ago
Hi, so I'm the original artist of the smiler pic that's commonly used. This one.
The art has been stolen an uncountable amount of times, and I can't control all of it. But one thing I will say is PLEASE stop pasting my art onto your refs, porn, ect. You can reference it all you want, but I really do not appreciate the constant art theft, it's not a public domain image. Please just draw it yourself. I do also wanna say it's intended to be a dragon, not a dog or wolf. That's it.

This one has gotten around the internet so much, it's crazy. Sadly idk if anything can be done about it at this point, but i'm really sorry people are STEALING it. That's just so disrespectful, you don't deserve that ):

yeah it's definitely long past the point, I'm just hoping someone out there is aware I don't approve of the constant art theft. You'd think other artists would understand that. I'm fine with people using it for their unity backrooms games and stuff like that, but people are going well beyond that and selling it, pasting it onto their art instead of drawing their own, been completely death of the author'd too. I'm just hoping at least one person is aware at this point.
