A Better dump

watermarks ruin art and i feel like people only put them on their work to feel self-important.

imo there is no reason to be afraid of your work being stolen. slapping giant watermarks on your art is stupid, even the smallest art thieves pretty much always get caught and taken care of - there's always someone out there who will recognize stolen art and spread the word.

Yeah, rtil does raise a good point that art thieves get caught pretty easily. For instance, no offense ThomasK, but I find it surprising that people know you exist enough to steal your stuff, and you somehow found out. Pieces can even have a distinct enough look/style for such identifying stuff to not even be necessary too. So, basically, don't sweat it too much.

Though, I wish I had better examples of what I meant by discreet watermarks... To me, some of them are really, really clever and you'd have to look for it to find it because it's like part of the piece itself.

I do not mind at all and i was shocked too when i found it! Watermarking is an opinion and a choice people.. I'll look into good watermarking and follow all of your guy's advice. Thanks everyone!

And something you cant put a watermark on xD

idk i've had fags steal some of my shit before and it's not like anyone knows who i am either

you shouldn't frequently draw the same looking bodies all the time imo. i would try drawing from reference for awhile and practicing more, then try to develop your own bodies/style.

in my own experience i never got anywhere just randomly drawing people on my own. learning from other artists (not copying them. i shouldn't have to stress this but i will) and life in general is important. otherwise your drawings will come out flat.

lol 1 thing i never did EVER was copy. Ive gotten pretty far with my own style but its not even good yet.. 1 good thing about drawing the same body is that you can free-draw a character anytime anywhere.. Thank you for your input btw. It helped a bit

I'm more likely to see it in sigs than in full blown pieces.

 Though, if those watermarks/sigs in sigs are easy for you to find (I don't mean "mirror" or "invisible man"), there's always the possibility that I'm blind.

....my mistakes..my wrongs..the things i said and done..missing..and lost..at the time that i had not cared...
....i see just that glimmer..of shimmering light..reflecting..from the happiness...that we once shared...
..oh the pain and sorrow that left you scared....
..i wish the damage that i made could only be spared....

a request by a very dear friend of mine. This is a tribute to the game Symphony of the Night. It took me at least 4 hours to construct the notes. =-=
