I found my bunnydoll art on Pinterest

Strangely proud feeling

how i find the source of art (and other things) to provide proper credits!

on (windows) desktop, i get the link of the image -> for ex, in tumblr:

then go to https://images.google.com/ and click that little square icon

so you can enter the url for the link without needing to download the image

drag the little selection thing on the image to pick the full thing otherwise it will only try to match the selected area

at the top result, it will have a link for see exact matches:

and fortunately for us, in this case, it takes us to the source right away. often times i will scroll through a bunch of pages of reposts, sometimes eventually tracking down the original source, and sometimes never finding it. but i feel like it's worth the time, especially with art

on mobile, i will download the image and use google lens from google photos, which is the same service - and a way to copy text from images easily, which is also extremely handy

art i used for this example: My turquoise bottles (170), 2023 by Serpil Ümit - source

About reposting my art

Hello,

I'd like to clarify something about my drawings, just so there aren't any more problems. I'm not talking about reblogging on Tumblr because that's fine with me, but I'm talking about reposting my drawings elsewhere on social networks.

So I'm going to set some conditions:

Contact me privately FIRST if you want to repost one of my drawings elsewhere.

If I give you permission, please specify in your descriptions that the drawing(s) were drawn by me. And mention me so I can be informed.

The first two conditions ONLY apply to drawings I do for myself, such as my characters or fanarts of existing characters.

Now for the commissions:

You don't have permission to repost them. These are drawings that have been paid for by people. These people have given me permission to share the commission on my social networks. So when I put "commission" in the post, you know that you don't have the right to repost them when they come from me.

If you want to repost because you want to show my work to your community, please contact the person who asked me for the commission: if they authorise you, good for you, if they don't (because it's still their property), please don't insist.

If you happen to come across one of my drawings, for example on Pinterest or elsewhere, please contact me first before going to see the person. I'll make sure I contact the person myself.

I hope this post is clear enough :) Thank you for your understanding and see you soon!

Reposting artwork/Don't do it!

So I don't like having to be the one to give my talks here, but sometimes I think people tend to forget in this world we live in that when an artist makes fan works in any form whether it be fan art, fanfic, etc. we put it out there in the world to share with other fans who love what we love. We want to share what we created with others because we're proud of the time we put into the project, of the detail and the inspiration we have on something within the project itself so when an artist/writer/etc finally gets to the point where they are ready to share the work they'll post it on their blog, site, etc to share with others because we want you to see it, to notice it and like it, to reblog it to share with your followers and hope that maybe they like it enough to do the same. What we don't want is someone seeing our work and then saving it to repost it on their own page so that they can pass it off as their own project and get all the love that we were looking for sent their direction. Time and time again I've seen less known artists create something wonderful that a bigger blog will snatch up and post and in the repost it gets a lot of love and attention where the artist who created it never gets to see any of that love, nor do they get any of the credit for their work because someone else is taking the credit even if they aren't outright claiming the work as their own by refusing to credit the artist for their efforts. This bothers me when I see it happening. A LOT!

I understand that everyone wants attention and people want their posts to be noticed. I get that and sometimes someone is new to a platform and doesn't understand the proper etiquette for sharing someone else's work. Honest mistakes are made and I can accept that too, but when someone goes out of their way to post someone else's work without giving proper credit (even after the artist and other people have told them who the artist is) that's outright stealing. If you're going to post someone else's artwork at least be kind enough to credit them as the artist or share the link to the original work. We get that you like something and appreciate it, but show that appreciation by letting others know that we designed this piece that they love. It's only fair and something that should go without saying. It's the way to keep fandom alive and keep these wonderful artists designing works and putting out more content to enjoy. When others steal or take away from the artist's efforts there are less things to enjoy and eventually the artist stops posting for others to see.

I've always felt this way on the matter, but recently I had one of my fan arts taken in such a matter. I, always wanting to give someone the benefit of the doubt, reached out to this person who reposted my art, dm'd them in private so not to embarrass them if they didn't understand why reposting without credit wasn't a good thing and said while I would prefer a reblog of my original work that I did, if they chose to keep their repost up all I asked was credit for being the artist. I'd sent them a dm and relayed all these things to them in a polite and what I felt was a generous fashion after my friends had already responded to their post about it being my artwork. A few hours later they ignored my dm and called my friends out saying they were 'liars' and a few other things because the reposter found the art on 'google images' searching a show that the art itself wasn't a part of. I did the same search and found nothing in an effort to give them another benefit of the doubt, yet they ignored that I was the artist on the piece, refused to accept it was someone's fan work and blatantly ignored my attempt to reach out to them. I responded to their repost again trying to be polite and they once again ignored my request to credit me. As I searched through their page I discovered that taking others art and not crediting them is only the beginning as they are also taking fan art and editing it to fit characters they like in photoshop and then passing the art off as their own creations. They seem to be quite content to take other people's work and alter it to appear that they are creating these pieces which they aren't, which is wrong on so many levels.

That being said i don't like to call people out, but the poster garoniousxmen has made no attempts to try to right the situation after well over 24 hours of being told by multiple people the art they posted was mine and based on their stealing other artwork and altering it to fit their fandom needs it appears that they are quite content to keep stealing from other fan artists. I do understand that everyone wants attention and to be noticed, but this is not the way. I went above and beyond to be reasonable with them, but they see no interest in doing what's right so for anyone who is posting fan art especially in the X-Men or comic fandom beware because this poster is notorious for not only reposting fan works but altering them to fit their favorite characters and passing it off as their own, which is a shame.

I realize that this is a long post, but I hope people take the time to consider what situations like this do to fandom and will at least take the time to reblog something from a fan artist or like it without reposting without their permission and if by some chance you still wish to repost, please just credit the person. It's best to ask them if you can, but if you don't ask for permission still give them the proper credit for what they did. The piece this person reposted and pretended wasn't mine is something I worked on for quite a few hours in Illustrator as it was my own drawing/digital art and while I'm glad they appreciated the art, this is not the way to show it. Not by a longshot.

Please be kind and reblog, credit artists because it is something that makes our fandoms even better when we show love the right ways.

Since more people now know about the rp blog for Cassidy that’s reposting art, I wanted to make a PSA

Reposting art ESPECIALLY WITHOUT CREDIT without the original artist’s permission is WRONG.

Don’t know what artist made it and can’t find them? DON’T REPOST IT

It’s indecent, and rude. Some artist don’t want their art reposted. This should be common sense.

Does this mean you should go attack that blog? No! Absolutely not! But they should be held accountable for their actions.

I’m pretty sure there is also a Charlie/Puppet rp blog that basically does the same thing.

Anyways. DON’T REPOST ART WITHOUT PERMISSION OR CREDIT. EVEN IF YOU DON’T CLAIM IT AS YOUR OWN.

Tumblr etiquette question.

Can I repost art that I commissioned if the artist has no Tumblr and/or never posted the commissioned piece on here, as long as I give proper credit and link to their website/active social media?

I have a whole archive of commissioned art of my admech OCs, but I am nervous about posting anything I didn't make myself given how pissed off people get about that sort of thing around here.

Love how creepy and unsettling you drew the hare. Bro looks like he chugged half a red bull and is ready to raise utter hell.
