I decided to get some BG practice in by drawing Erathos’s house! Creepy ghost boys need creepy houses to take care of their lil ghost sisters in!
Is there a word for that like, “bright darkness” you get in winter?? When it’s been snowing or it’s supposed to snow past sunset and the sky isn’t Dark Enough. One of my favorite things
You sure have seen this post. It has spread like wildfire over the past few days so I doubt there is any artist out there who hasn’t seen it. But even if you didn’t, you should read on because I’m about to tell you a handy little thing that can help you to protect your art from such assholes as the anon who submitted this bullcrap, as well as art thieves in general.
The magic word is Metadata.
Metadata is like an invisible signature that is embeded into a file. It can contain all kinds of information, like Title, date, keywords for online seach engines, and copyright information. And the best thing is, since this information is “hidden” in the code of your picture, it’s hard to remove it.
There is a nice basic tutorial on how to add Metadata, or “additional file information” to your images in photoshop. It’s really, really easy so check it out!
I’m not sure if you can do the same with any other art program. If you know how to do this in other programs / can confirm that it works the same way there, please tell me so I can add the information to this post.
Adding the Metadata will not stop idiots from taking and reposting your art. It also won’t make them stop editing out your signature. It WILL however, help you prove that you are the original artist whenever you have to. Always remember my friends. You, the artist, are protected by law. No one has the right to take your intellectual property and hard work and repost, use or edit it without your permission. Ever.
Sometimes I get too timid to send asks to ask. I want to see how many people are ok with artists drawing their OCs!
Once you get this you have to say five things you like about yourself, publicly, then send this to 10 of your favorite followers (non-negotiable) (positivity is cool ♡)!!
Oh my goodness, this is so sweet! Thanks, bro!! ♡
1) I’m very proud of my mourning dove call.
2) I really like my long hair!!
3) My room is kinda cool.
4) I’m into an extensively wide variety of nerd fodder.
5) I make myself laugh with my own shitty jokes.
Here's the same drawing, but without the BG! I'll make some art of their proper human presenting forms very soon~!
