Nice, another alternative platform to both weasyl and furaffinity.

Even better that they have protocols by slapping watermarks to prevent unwanted Art Thieves, when give members authorisation you can see their work without the watermark, you'd see my work here with my own watermark so it's not much of a difference for me.

Yeah, I get that when artists don't want their artwork to be stolen and reuploaded for views, I get that. But it's another thing if say the artist didn't bother to archive their work, and yet someone has a copy of the person's work that once used to exist, and puts it up somewhere for others to enjoy, without issue. Or in my situation, just download the artwork and use it as a character reference in future literature pieces, but change the name so it's easier to make a new character without having to re-do the whole look again (though some body features, looks, and personalities will change, because last time I tried being exactly like the original characters, a series some fan made their own creation called "Date In Space", and I tried to replicate one of their characters, whom I didn't realize was too sarcastic when I made her more cheesy or relaxed/caring, to no success. So that's why by changing the name a bit, it makes it easy for me to make a similar look of the character, but the name is changed so this way it doesn't represent the original character as the one shown in "Date In Space"). So yeah, there's two ways to go with this, but allowing artists to have the watermark o their characters to avoid someone stealing their work can be a pain in the butt. THOUGH, what I have found is that if the artist use slightly light shade of the same color or gradients close to the same color, then it's easy to note who is the real artist versus the art thief...But it's nice to see you on that platform, I'm just a person who writes more than draws (Drawing can feel like forever to me, whereas the others not so much. I guess I really love to put a ton of detail into my work, hence why it can take a while for me to finish one artwork piece. And that is if I'm awake and focused).

OP
As times on the internet get more uncertain, I did learn the hard way of not watermarking my works in the first place, as long as it keeps art thieves out of the community with watermarking is fine with me, as long as some trusted people online get to see it unwatermarked but I still keep my own watermark on the side, while I get it's a little annoying it's better to be safe than sorry.

Yeah...Unfortunate but, yeah, what you've said here makes sense. I guess it goes to show that I did photographs more than I did with drawings, which, to be honest, would be difficult to draw, and most people online probably wouldn't bother with photographs of real life or someone's backyard. Heh, looking back at this now, it was for the best in my opinion until I had to take them down due to the June 2016 incident that caused me to take everything down and start from scratch again.
