If You Want A Collection Of Art Without Crediting The Artists - Blog Posts

3 years ago

@batman-catwoman1, as much as I like the idea of a blog dedicated to batcat fanart, I notice the huge lack of credit to the original artists.

^^^ THIS is not enough. Love cannot go to the original creators because they're not even being properly cited. You can repost one of their drawings and get hundreds more notes/likes on it than they did-- and you didn't even provide a link to where you got it.

Yea, it seems easier to just download a picture you like, repost it on your account, and just reap the benefits, but it's seriously so disrespectful. I recognize some of the og artists and they make it clear that they either do not want their art to be reposted AT ALL, or a simple mention of their name/account will do; most of this info in in their bio. You don't seem to acknowledge either. I was going to send an ask or a dm, but you only allow those you follow to dm you.

Giving credit is not hard, like at all. It's as simple as:

Art by *insert account name* on *insert social media*".

It's a hot topic that's still overlooked by many. I know you probably don't have malicious intentions, but doing this kinda stuff does a lot more harm to the art community than it may seem on the surface.
