Dear artists...

No, I’m not going to link back to your page. I edited out your ugly signature too. I paid for the art. It is mine.

Don’t worry, this does not mean I take credit for drawing it. When people ask if I drew it, I say “Nope.” When people ask who did, I say, “Sorry, I don’t remember.”

Just because I bought your art does not mean our profiles have to be linked forever. It’s the same if I buy an apple from the grocer. I don’t have to keep the sticker on it or tell people where it came from. I’m not a walking advertisement for your shop.

If you want credit so badly, then I should get a cut of your future profits for my part in the advertising.

I know I’m probably going to get the wrath of whiny, entitled artists for this, but I don’t care. I won’t be making a shrine around their art dedicated to them. I paid for a service, and now we should go our our separate ways!

[fiendcatfr]

alright so there’s a lot of fucked up parts in this post but?? right off the bat?? “I edited out your ugly signature too”??? I’m sorry but that’s really stupid?

if you bought a physical, painted-on-canvas drawing, would you still go through the trouble of trying to edit out the signature there too? Because literally the only difference between that scenario and this one is that the canvas can be physically held and displayed, where the digital painting stays in a digital venue.

Do not be a dick to artists. Fucking don’t edit out their signatures, credit them where they are due. Don’t be like the asshole OP. If you commission an artist, respect them enough to credit them.

[rage-puff]

Dear people who think like OP;

Please do not ever fucking commission me. My signature is an A, but I don’t care if an artist’s signature is a giant fucking watermark half as big as the piece. If you cut out their signature, you cut out their effort. Do you have to make a little URL tag that links back to my page or DA or tumblr or whatever? No. Would it be nice? Yeah. Is it a good habit to do anyway? Yeah.

But unless you’re paying me USD and we’ve made it part of the agreement that my signature will NOT be on the art- leave the fucking signature on the art. You purchased art that has the signature. Once you alter it, you’re violating our purchase agreement. The artist produced that art for your agreed upon purchase price with the understanding that what they were sending- signature fucking included- would remain on the piece.

If they knew that you were going to use their art independently without any sort of remaining credit like that, then the price very well may have been different or they might not have agreed to do the art at all.

[inquisitorhotpants]

Damn, OP Edgy McEdgerson is really proud of being a dickhead. No one’s saying you’re linked forever, and no, “I didn’t draw it and don’t remember who did” doesn’t absolve you, you chucklefuck.

SIGNAL BOOOST

[netherstray]

…Although, as an artist, I have seen some completely horrible signatures on tumblr posts. Sometimes they’re so obnoxious that I hide the comments on a post and tag with something like “Artist’s comment/source in the original post.” Not because I hate artists, but because I acknowledge that artists aren’t always the best when it comes to brevity. 

When I show my stuff here on Tumblr, I keep whatever DA link came with the automatic sharing of the post. I include a comment about the work if I feel it needs actual context, but otherwise I just have the link to the original post on DA and to my profile on DA. That’s it. I don’t link Facebook, Twitter, Etsy, Flickr, Instagram, and whatever other god forsaken social media people can easily find me on. 

My advice to artists? If you want people to know your social media connections and other display sites for your art, keep a list of links available on your Tumblr and other websites. If the idea of someone removing all your links from your comment really bothers you so much, maybe you should do your fans a favor and keep the spam in your comment to a minimum. Have a contact list on your sites and keep it at that. And if you still want those links in your comment on your work, just link to “contact” and link that list of sites.

At the risk of stretching your dash. Let me tell a small story. the story is:

IF YOU COMMISSION AN ARTIST.

IF YOU COMMISSION AN ARTIST.

IF YOU COMMISSION AN ARTIST. 

CHANCES ARE THEY ARE GOING TO WORK VERY HARD ON YOUR PIECE  

THEY MIGHT EVEN BE ANXIOUS BECAUSE THEY MIGHT TAKE A LITTLE LONGER THAN EXPECTED 

SOMETIMES THEY LOSE STEAM HALF WAY BECAUSE LIFE THROWS OBSTACLES IN THE WAY. 

IF YOU COMMISSION AN ARTIST, THEY WILL HAVE SPENT TIME AND EFFORT ON YOUR PIECE. THEY MIGHT HAVE GONE THOUGH SOME TURMOIL IN THE PROCESS OF MAKING IT. BUT IN THE END YOU WILL HAVE WHAT YOU PAID FOR. 

IF YOU COMMISSION AN ARTIST AND YOU ARE HAPPY WITH THEIR WORK AND WHAT THEY PROVIDED, THE ARTIST WILL BE VERY HAPPY AND PROUD. THEY WORKED VERY HARD ON IT! THEY PROBABLY WON’T MIND IF YOU SHOW IT TO OTHER PEOPLE, IT WOULD HELP THE ARTIST A LOT! (BUT IT’S OKAY IF YOU DECIDE TO KEEP IT TO YOURSELF TOO….)

BUT IF YOU COMMISSION AN ARTIST… 

AND YOU SEE THE ONE SECTION THAT TIES SAID ARTIST TO THE PRODUCT THEY WORKED SO HARD ON….. 

….AND DECIDE TO TAKE IT OFF 

YOU HURT THE ARTIST EMOTIONALLY…..

IF YOU COMMISSION AN ARTIST AND EDIT THEIR NAME OFF THE PIECE….

YOU ARE SAYING “FUCK YOU ARTIST, I COULD HONESTLY CARE LESS ABOUT HOW MUCH TIME AND EFFORT YOU PUT INTO THIS. I PAID FOR IT SO OBVIOUSLY I DESERVE TO TAKE THE CREDIT FOR SOMETHING I HAD NO HAND IN BESIDES PAYING FOR IT TO BE CREATED.”

IF YOU COMMISSION AN ARTIST, DELETE THEIR SIGNATURE, AND SHOW IT OFF, YOUR FRIENDS WILL ENJOY IT AND SHOW IT TO OTHER FRIENDS. THOSE FRIENDS MIGHT WANT TO BUY SOMETHING SIMILAR! BUT THE ARTIST ISN’T GETTING CREDIT FOR IT BECAUSE YOU ESSENTIALLY TOOK THEIR WORK AND CLAIMED THE WORK, EFFORT, AND SKILL FOR YOURSELF, ALL BECAUSE YOU PAID FOR IT. (SOUNDS CRAPPY RIGHT?)

IF YOU COMMISSION AN ARTIST

CHANCES ARE PEOPLE DON’T KNOW WHO THEY ARE. CHANCES ARE THEY TOOK THE COMMISSION TO PAY SOME BILLS AND REALLY NEEDED THE MONEY.

IF YOU COMMISSION AN ARTIST AND DELETE THEIR SIGNATURE….

chances are you are not the first one to do that.

SIGNAL BOOST THE FUCK OUT OF THIS! WHAT THE EVER LOVING HELL IS THIS?

[fuckingfurries]

Some good stuff here!!!

Remember, when you commission an artist..

YOU DO NOT GET RIGHTS TO THAT PIECE OF ART.

[rudyskatopianiii]

That comic has me literally crying. Don’t be an asshat to artists.

[microwavablesoda]

Guys, NEVER do this to any artist EVER. Even if it’s just a simple base, ALWAYS credit who made it. If you are that one person who uses other people’s art, then unfollow me this instant.

[kimjimagery]

I hate people who do this to use artist.

Iiiiiiii love this

[revvetha]

I’m crying in the club because Nott could have come back as anyone. She said herself that she didn’t like the way she looked as Veth. That she wasn’t pretty. Nott could have chosen to come back as a skinny Veth with perfectly plucked eyebrows - the rest of the group would have indignantly assured her that she was gorgeous either way, but she still could have done it.

And it’s not as though weight doesn’t matter in Exandria. Some prejudices don’t really exist there; for example there doesn’t seem to be much homophobia or skin color based racism. But fatphobia pervades even the fantasy world, that was confirmed in the last episode where multiple people used glamours to appear thinner at the Marquis’ party. Veth was bullied by her family and her peers, and surely there was some bodyshaming involved in that.

But she chose to come back as she was, not as some idealised version of herself. Mechanically, she kept her 20 DEX, and we are blessed with this badass fat rogue lady, which is essentially unheard of in fantasy. I am living for her growth and her newfound self-confidence. I love her so much

[paperanomaly]

I fucking love her too god dammit

[higgity-heck]

I really want Beau and essek to talk about growing up isolated, and how they became selfish and cold and acted only in their own interests. I want her to tell him she changed herself, slowly, with the love and support of her friends, and that maybe he can too

I want fjord to admit to the dark pull of power that ukutoa offered out on the ocean, and how he almost went too far in trying to find some form of identity in the service of his patron. I want him to tell essek that his friends stopped him from going down that road, and how his love for them gave him a new direction

I want jester to talk to him about burying her emotions, and how wearing a mask is just as harmful as it is useful. I want her to tell him that she’s learning to not be okay, and that’s okay, and that opening himself up to these people will bring more joy than he thought existed in the entire world.

I want Veth to tell him about her offer to the hag, and that for one, terrifying moment she thought she would really go through with it. I want her to tell him that they’re all fucked up, to some degree, but they check each other, and they’ll make it through in the end.

I want Caduceus to tell him about his family, both the clays and the Nein. I want him to tell essek about the roles he plays, and though he values the truth he’s never really honest. I want him to say that he’s getting there, and that people are all just continual works in progress.

I want yasha to hint at her tribe, and Obann, and how when she wakes up everyday the first thing on her mind is always her wife. I want her to tell him the cruelty of the tribe, and how she only fled when she lost everything. I want her to tell him to consider his priorities, and to act before it’s too late.

And I want Caleb to look him in the eye and give him a second chance. I want him to take the love he first rejected, then cultivate it, and offer it to him in an act of self-forgiveness. I want him to take him by the hand, and say if there was somehow hope for me, than there will be hope for you, because these are people that will leave every broken person they meet better than they found them.

we’re watching the new season of queer eye and my dad is actually crying over the ep with the trans dude, like he’s talking about his top surgery and my dad is in tears going “when you sculpt marble the sculpture is already inside, you’re just getting rid of what isn’t part of it! he’s just getting rid of what isn’t part of him!”

so from my oldass 70 year old dad to all my trans followers, y'all are marble sculptures and you’re perfect

happy pride to all trans people, from my daddy’s memory
