Regarding watermarks

Added 2024-01-10 22:39:09 +0000 UTC

As the title says, I have had some thoughts about my watermark.

Lately, I have been making it less noticeable, and sometimes even drew it myself instead of copying and pasting it or typing it. I thought it looked better in general.

Today, someone on FA (I'm not sure I can say the name?) decided to harass me via notes because I posted something about Palestine. Then, he chose to reupload one of my drawings where his character appeared (it was a group raffle), used Photoshop to remove my Sona from the drawing, and erased my watermark. To top that, he reuploaded it with a zionist message.

It saddens me that someone decided to use my art for hateful purposes. I understand that this doesn't happen often, but I will be taking action. I have reported it to FA, so let's see what happens.

For now, there will not be any more group raffles/illustrations outside Patreon, or if I do more raffles, I will only be working with people I'm close with. Also, free artwork from requests or raffles will have a giant watermark and won't be able to be reposted unless I'm close with the person. I don't want this to happen again.
