Commission TOS Update
5 years ago
I'm going to add a rule to my TOS that clients are only allowed to publicly share/repost watermarked versions of any art they receive.
Sadly gonna have to start using watermarks as I found out yesterday my old Yule Cat pic got Hella Stolen and ended up all over the place, including someone making cash off it on Etsy :[ (I sent a DMCA, the listing's gone and the seller's offering to pay me some, but Big Yikes all the same)
Even if you're a nobody artist like me, never assume your stuff won't ever be stolen!

Man, people suck. If you want to, you can watermark all of the art you did for me and I'll delete all of my uploads and reupload the watermarked ones. I know that's a huge chore but it's 100% up to you.

It's fine! I just have to remember to watermark moving foward--and stick to it, lol half the time I'm lucky to remember to sign stuff, especially personal art
