Putty Tat Troubles, 1951
Well, it has finally happened: someone copied one of my pieces and now is selling prints of it.
Not on here, this is not vague posting about anyone present, but I wanted to take this opportunity to say two things:
1. If you want to reference my work or use it as a jumping-off point or even do a master study, that is great. We learn from each other. I have done master studies and they are so helpful. If you post it, just credit me!
2. If you do any of those things and make a piece you love, that's fine, but if it's a direct copy, please don't sell prints of it. I am a full-time working artist. This is my entire career. It directly hurts me to do this and it's also just very uncool. In the age of AI stealing work, human artists don't need to be doing the same.
Feeling pretty yuck about it but it is what it is!
If you see art of a random character wearing a specific outfit in a specific pose, is it wrong or "copying" if you draw art of a DIFFERENT character in the same outfit and pose?
Yes, it's always wrong– it was the original artist's idea, not yours
It's only wrong if you don't credit the original artist for the idea
Only wrong if the outfit/pose/etc is HIGHLY specific or original
Not wrong as long as you alter it somehow/put your own spin on it
It's not wrong at all, artists take inspiration from each other all the time
Other nuanced opinion
I don't care about this

I will give myself a DITYS for this LawLu scene…
I will copy this scene with my own additions for an upcoming lulaw fic…
I am fired up!
I will prove that anyone who can use a pencil, like I do, can do a better job at copying then any stupid GenAi 😂 and make it look human.
