we work hard on our stuff !!!!!!!
i know a lot of people like using art to decorate their blogs and pages and buttons and blinkies and everything BUT !! PLEASE CREDIT THE ARTISTS YOURE GETTING THE ART FROM !!!!!!
if you know how to add images and stuff, you how to write the artists name beside it, or turn the image into a link which takes you to the artist.
even if the art is made my the official artist of a media (like kei drawing miku for example), or especially if its the official art for an independent online series (like ghosts oc art), you should still credit the artist(s) !!!!! and especially especially if its just fanart !!!!!!!!!!!!
and if an artist doesnt allow reposts or use of their art at all, please respect that !!
also even if an artist says they dont "need" to be credited, its still a polite thing to do, as it allows other people to discover their art !
i feel like unless an artist explicitly says they dont want to be credited, then you should give them credit !!
if you dont know or arent sure if the artist wants credit, id say you should assume by default that credit is prefered
andddd if you dont know who drew the art, try finding them through image search engines, and if you cant find them, dont use the art !!!!
also ! a link to a pinterest or danbooru or other thing reupload is not credit !!!
yea sorry it just really makes me uehhehhh/neg when i see uncredit art because i know what its like trying to find an artist but being unable to, andwhat its like to have my art reupload without credit
i get its not always possible to find credit through, and especailly if its a piece of art tahts been reposted and compressed to hell, it sucks but i can see why you cant credit people then. but i stil think its important to try your best when its applicaable, and to credit people when you yourself are getting art from the source
goodbye now i love you all
