Hey, you guys?
10 years ago
I wanted to ask a huge favor of anyone who is watching me.
No, it's not money, or advertising, no.
It's keeping an eye out on any site you go to that allows posting of artwork, be it SoFurry, Tumblr, Twitter, e621, F-List, dA, InkBunny...IMVU. Keep an eye out for the people you watch, their artwork.
I'm not saying scour every page, but if you come across something that looks familiar to you, don't hesitate to look in to it. If you have seen the artist on fA, but aren't sure if they have another site, message them on fA! Ask! Chances are, it really IS them posting up on that site, but there is also the chance that it's not them.
I would like your help with this, too. If you see my work posted anywhere, that is not under the names "SoulWesson" (May or may not have _ in the name) "Solux" or "Solxian" please be so kind as to notify me with links. Don't attack the person, they may have been a commissioner, and even if they did steal it from the character owner and myself, it is best left to the artist themselves.
I have accounts on SF, dA, F-List, fA, tumblr, and twitter, and I can't remember if I have one to e621, so if you have any questions about the art posted, go ahead and ask me! I'll appreciate it, even if the person in question is, well, me. And that goes for other artists! Even if it's US you aren't sure about, on a site with a username you're not familiar with, we appreciate it. It means you're looking out for us, and you want to make sure credit is given where credit is due!
So, scratch my back, and I'll scratch yours. I keep an eye out for that stuff, too.
Thank you, loves!
(Side note: I have not seen any of my work stolen on IMVU, at least in the adult section, thanks to Strype for posting these screencaps: http://imgur.com/a/oAtuI < These are only the ADULT SECTION for POSTERS, as this is where the most theft occurs. )
EDIT: ALSO! Be aware of people using slightly modified usernames. Like Waitress had a user on dA go by "HensaBoo" and a lot of us thought it was her. Oft times, the person will be a dead-giveaway in the way they type. For example, if suddenly the person's grammar and spelling turn in to, "OMG, i hav 2 go 2 teh stor n get fud for my kitty", that's an obvious (and poor example of) a copy-cat. In the case of Hensa and HensaBoo, it was the fact that Boo was holding a sale at MUCH lower prices than the real Hensa, but Hensa wasn't offering a sale of any type at the time. Small details can be BIG giveaways!
