Reposted Art!
10 years ago
There's an instagram account that has recently come to my attention called "furry lust" and it's made me want to say a few things.
If you see my art being resposted that isn't from my own account, or from a commissioner's account, and I haven't been credited, please ask them to credit me!! If they're being rude towards that, please let me know so I can ask them to take it down.
I am not okay with the reposting of my work without proper credit.
Being an artist is hard as it is. Please help us out by letting others know who drew the artwork that we've put so much time and effort into making.
Thanks guys!!!!

It's not going to effect anyone BUT the artist.
Not only should crediting be mandatory but it is also a nice gesture as you're giving the artist free publicity.
Giving credit, for as long as I can remember, is a big way of giving an artist a chance to be seen by the masses.
Think of it like starting a small store that no one has ever heard of. You get a few customers who come in, and are wow'd by the experience. So what do they do? They tell everyone! They spread the word of the store. Suddenly business grows, and tada. Cycle repeats.
But case in point. Giving credit brings attention to people who want to know who did the art. Not giving credit is just out right wrong, and pretty much taking away their chance to be seen/heard.
