You are all amazing artists...

I've seen a few "oh, I don't deserve to be on this list, but I'll repost it anyway" hashtags from artists. It takes a lot of courage to post your work on the internet. You open yourself up to criticism from total strangers all over the world.

Why do it to yourselves?

We are all our own harshest critic. An artist I really admire told me, "Man, I wish I could do that." And here I am wishing I had their talent! The grass is always greener on the other side, I suppose.

You all are amazing artists!

And don't just use this a glossary to protect artist's artwork. Look through the links, discover artists you never knew about. Yes, it's still small, but it's growing! Thank for everyone for helping get the word out.

A special thank you to @shadow0-1 and @ave661 for suggestions and helping organize the lists.

Enjoy your weekend!

The Call of Duty Watermark Glossary is now up and open for submissions. Also please keep in mind this is still evolving and open to suggestions/feedback to improve the experience.

If there is something you like, something you don't like, something that needs improving, spelling errors, etc. Let me know. Spread the word!

...Preventing Reposted Artwork...

A very kind artist just emailed me saying she saw my work reposted on another Instagram account. Most artists do have a watermark on their work, but it's a bit of a challenge to track down a particular artist if you don't know what their watermark looks like.

So I had an idea for a watermark glossary for any Call of Duty artist who wanted to participate. I'll compile a list of the watermarks and a link to their socials, plus I'd ask all participating artists to post that link in their bio to help create a "circle" to get the word out.

It won't prevent people from reposting/taking artwork, but it will help get the word out there that it is happening.

If anyone is interested in the idea, repost this.

EDIT: This is also my 141 post on Tumblr. Haha!

PURPOSE The Watermark Glossary is as its name implies: a glossary of Call of Duty artist's watermarks. With the rise of artwork being taken and reposted, this blog will serve as a way for someone to inform the artist. This blog won't prevent artwork from being taken, but it will be able to notify the effected artist that its happened.

Even if you're not an artist, creating a link on your own socials or posting about this watermark glossary will help spread the word. Artists supporting artists.

WHAT_TO_DO If you believe a piece of art has been taken/reposted on another social media site, we've provided a list of watermarks from all participating artists organized via art style. Please keep in mind this site is intended to inform the artist, not call out the person who took the art. It is the artist's prerogative to determine what should be done. If you wish to call attention to the person who did take the art, then please do so on your own socials, not this one.

HOW_TO_JOIN • Follow the Watermark Glossary if you have a Tumblr account. • Post a link back to the Watermark Gallery's page on one of your social's about page (we are helping get the word out about you, please help get the word out about us). • Use the "Message Me" button to send a copy of your watermark (no larger than 200x200 pixels) with three of your social media handles/names (please provide the social media platform & handle, not a hyperlink - we will do that on our end).

GUIDELINES Art is a very broad term. So we will accept most styles/types. Digital, 3D, 2D. We will not accept submissions from blogs that are primarily NSFW. We also will not be accepting fanfic. This blog is intended for a visual art style.

SOCIAL_MEDIA We will post links for most major social media platforms (DeviantArt, ArtStation, Instagram, TikTok, X-aka-Twitter). We will not accept for-profit/subscription sitelinks (Patreon, Ko-Fi).

FEEDBACK If you have any suggestions and/or feedback, please leave it HERE. As I am only one person doing this, I appreciate any constructive comments to help improve the experience.
