I hope artists and websites will stop deleting their works
4 months ago
I'm getting so tired of artists and sites who destroy artworks. I only started becaming interested in archivism ever since an nsfw artist on google plus, who was posting to google plus primarily, I think their name was protagonart iirc. All their 1000+ posts gone in the blink of an eye when that forsaken website got shut down and rebranded for businesses.
It's not just websites either, it's also artists deleting their old art or moving to another accont and deleting their old one becuase they think their old art don't represent them now. You ain't working on a portfolio on furaffinity of all places, quit this bullshit thinking!
There are a few artists I truly respect for actually sticking up and keeping their whole online life intact like virus-20 who has over 20 thousand drawings. This is probably the only one I don't wanna download their art since first my drive won't like it and I trust them enough to never destroy their entire gallery.
Now sure maybe you have a reason to delete some art you don't wanna have float around like maybe it's offensive, maybe the character owner asked you to take it down, but if you wipe your galleries of hundreds of drawings because you wanna rebrand or you believe your old art is "cringe" then you suck
I've literally never come across any artist who wiped their galleries and had a good reason for it. For example there was the french guy behind the kitty pooka account who deleted their gallery featuring his cute brown cat oc because he was afraid irl folks would find his inflation art. I've never had that problem, just keep your professional life and private life separate, don't share it with the world! His first mistake was signing up an account with his real name,
There are even some drawings without the cat oc that got lost in the melee, there was a drawing of kitty pooka as a reindeer that to my knowledge has never been reposted to furaffinity ever again and while the first part got caught by furarchiver.net (another reason why not to bother and just not be stupid because anything you post to the internet could be out there forever), the second part is now only downloadable form his x account and it compresses images badly.
Really love when artists don't have a shred of respect for their work, I don't care if you think what I draw is cringe, brainort or taboo none of it will willingly be deleted from my gallery, at best it may be improved or edited to comply with the site's guideline (I had an abdl drawing I edited because I was afraid it could get me banned, this was a few years ago), but any drawing you see in my gallery stays in my gallery I can guarantee that!
