ART-TRACER TAKING MY WORK FOR PROFIT [Heads Up]
8 years ago
General
[Edit: Learnt a few things, thanks to some knowledgeable peeps. Thanks!]
Heh, it finally happened.
So a tracer's has been tracing my chibi work and trying to sell them off as YCH's. PROFITING WHUT
If anyone wants evidence, I can privately note and explain things there better.
Person has been reported. Let's leave it at that. Apparently I hear this isn't the first time.
Now, really. If peeps had JUST APPROACHED ME POLITELY I actually would have given some leeway. I get that sometimes its hard to draw things. I actually don't mind helping, though I obviously wouldn't be your coach who holds your hand or anything. But trying to PROFIT off things without permission, without credit is not cool .
Young artists who are tracing/referencing work~ please give credit. Intimidating as it sounds, you could even try to approach the artists who inspires you so. Even if there isn't much response, atleast they'll respect you for actually making an honest effort. If you just nab off their work without credit or permission ESPECIALLY FOR PROFIT, don't expect them to think highly of you afterwards.
Thanks so much to the peeps who gave me a heads up. Really, really appreciate it

i dont want ya gettin in trouble ;w;
Will edit accordingly
Thanks for the heads up!
May I please know though why one shouldn't mention names?
i've seen peeps get warned by other so they dont get in trouble
i mean u can advertise and praise, but no badmouthing basically or a "Beware"
How does one put up a journal to highlight the happening tho, without mentioning names? I'm quite new to this whole art being traced/stolen scene so I'm not really sure of the proper steps to take x.x
The way you can openly highlight a problem to where you yourself will not be suspended for breaking the rules of the site is to write a journal explaining that there is a user on this site who is coping, tracing, stealing your artwork and that even thou in the journal you can not name them, if users wish to know who it is and how the whole story goes they can private msg you wherever you desire and you can explain the whole issue to them privately so you yourself do not get in any trouble with the FA admin.
They deactivated their account here and I hope it ends there...
