Art theft in COD community

This is something that has been on my mind for a long time, but I didn't have the courage to say it out loud. Lovely @namedlunagoddess uploaded tik tok and it motivated me to write this post.

I've been fighting with art theft lately, like many artists in cod community. People don't appriciate our hard work and use us for their popularity. From what I noticed, a lot of them follow my accounts, because when I upload something, they quickly repost it on pinterest or tiktok without credits. Pls understand me, I do it all for free. One render can take me several hours or more. For example, I spent 2 days on the last one, because I didn't like how it was turning out and started from scratch several times - when I share something, I want to be fully satisfied with it. It is EXAUSTING when you need ask for the bare minimum (credits) and even then you're not listened.

I don't make money out of it and the only thing I have is Kofi and Patreon but I'm not going to force anyone to do anything.

You probably noticed that I upload everything in lower and lower resolutions with bigger and bigger watermarks. These are not full pics - I crop them to non-standard resolutions, and 16:9 are only on my Patreon, because I'm sick of art theft. Why? I had a few cases of people selling my art as designs for t-shirts, phone cases, stickers, etc. Previously, I tried to hide watermarks so that they would not be so eye-catching, but people were using it against me. Tik tok and Pinterest are the biggest-*censored* For example, this is what happens when ppl don't give credits and edit out my watermarks

Then they end up on pinterest with thier tik tok name:

Good examples of giving credits (I LOVE ALL OF YOU AND THANK YOU!! ♥)

DO NOT REPOST

Another thing that annoys me is reposts of my art, even here on tumblr. When you do that, you are taking away my credits. I try to make everything available on different platforms, but I guess it still doesn't help. Most people can't read watermarks and will assume that if you upload it - you are the author.

It takes me 6 hours (on average) to make one render, and it takes you 6 seconds to write credits. Please respect my work, because more and more I want to drop everything and stay only on Patreon.

Sometimes I feel that what I do is not appreciated. I don't want much, and yet I feel like everything is being taken away from me. EDIT: I don't mean using my art as an inspiration to fanfics, headcanons, banners etc. If You give me credits - we're good, so no worries! Use them as much as You like ♥♥♥

I love red too much....

Haha so idk the exact context for this artwork, but I imagine it takes place a short while after the campaign is done. These two have gotten closer, or close enough at least for Ghost to be comfortable mask-less around him, and to crowd Soap against a wall LOL!! I love these guys sm!!

Also, this fanfic inspired me to go a lil more intense with Ghosts’s facial scars. Beware, its v dark, but prob one of the best things i’ve ever read ever in my life.

Simon finally got that dog he's always wanted. She's a german shepherd puppy, roughly 3 months old. Insisted on naming her Riley. Guess that makes her part of the family now. She's cute... but those puppy teeth are fucking sharp. Hopefully I won't have to get another cover-up because of her. Ghost handles all the training, already has Riley on a schedule and everything. Real structured. I turn a blind eye when i catch them napping together. It won't be much longer until she gets too big.

this was an excuse to look at cute dogs and be a little self-indulgent
