For those who share art online
11 years ago
naira brought this to my attention and it beautifully sums up why you should always credit an artist of any artwork you share online. Many artists rely on their name staying attached to their work to help provide an income so that they can put food on their table; it's not an ego-trip thing, I promise. Sadly I have a feeling this message will fall on deaf ears when it comes to the people who most need to read it - the ones who react in self-righteous anger when asked politely to provide correct credit and go on doing as they please.http://christopherburdett.blogspot......-name.html?m=1
People on that Rule 34 Paheal site keep tagging my colourings as 'Flygon'. This is really really a big wallbanger when you consider that the name is a species, not a reference to an individual without _(artist) attached.
Whoo! Internet!
If you can't convince a poster to give proper credit, making sure the artist gets credit in the comments section is an important second-best. Only you can prevent art theft!
