From FandomSecrets today. I added Light so it could (vaguely) be posted here. LOOKS LIKE WE NEED TO SHUT DOWN 4CHAN, GUISE.

And so this isn't a waste, ITT: You Laugh You Lose? Sorry if there's been one recently.

Of course the artists are irrelevant to their art. Most of it is fanart to begin with. Since when do they own those characters, lawl.

Shit, I hate artists like that. I draw, and I fucking love it when I see some of my art posted here. It means my shit was good enough for someone to want to save it, and then good enough to want to share it with someone else.

And if someone asks for the sauce, I'm grinning like an idiot.

Fucking seconded. It takes about ten seconds for an artist to type their URL onto an image, if they really don't want it to be stolen. In truth though, MOST PEOPLE DON'T CARE IF THEIR ART IS REPOSTED. If they do, TOUGH SHIT, IT'S THE INTERNET.

That said, this person's been commenting anonymously and seems ONLY to be concerned with reposted Japanese art. So they're a weaboo mouth-breather as well as complete retard.

Has the person who posted the secret revealed their identity yet? If not, I'd be willing to bet good money they're not even an artist themself. Cry moar.

Oh god, the effort to sign my name and put the URL of my gallery on each pic is just too much. BAWWWWWWWWW

To be fair, many (fan)artists ARE like that. They don't exactly need much help in making themselves look like assholes.

i see my art here, too. i never complained. it's just image sharing. i hate faggot artists.

this anon artist doesn't believe in watermarks anyway. if you don't want it stolen, don't post it on the internet. watermarks are only for business and digitally packaged showcase art.

Hey, this person is right, I laughed.

Boo hoo, what the hell else do you think happens when you post art on the internet, dumbass. It's going to be reposted.

Whenever anything I've ever drawn is posted to 4chan, I screencap it so that I can always treasure that moment.

I love knowing that people like my art enough to share it. I couldn't give a crap if anyone gave me credit for it. *I* am not what is for display; the art is.

I thought that too. I don't have a scanner to upload my art anywhere, but if I had and it got posted on 4chan, I'd be happy as hell. It means someone liked what I drew enough to bother saving it and sharing it w/other people

It's not like anyone here is going around saying "look what i drew!" and claiming it's theirs or some shit like that

Meanwhile, when I tell artists I found their art on 4chan, most of them are flattered. /y/ may be a cesspool, but some of the art there is really quality. And it says something about your art if someone liked it enough to save it and THEN liked it enough to REPOST IT. It isn't like it's insulting. (Unless of course your art sucked and we insulted it. Then you should learn to draw better or keep your shit off the interwebz.)

What a load of shit. I've had my art posted on 4chan. It's a great feeling. If you want auto-credit, stick your name/URL in the corner of all your images. Who the hell thinks their art is being treated like "garbage" because someone liked it, saved it, and wanted to share it?

He has a point. It's fanart, which is by nature illegal in many countries. And even it it's legal where you are, drawing fanart is a type of art stealing. You didn't invent the character, you're just copying some one else's character design. Therefore you're just as guilty of art-theft.
Although I don't honestly believe that crap, that's legally how it works. I mean, I didn't invent human beings, but if I'm drawing them I'm just copying what nature/god/whatever invented.

When my "art" gets reposted and shooped I'm just glad people enjoy it. There's nothing in it for me other than that, it's just one drawing out of billions and billions of okay drawings anyway. I get more out of drawing itself.

Of course I was a raging idiot about it years ago but fuck me, I'm awesome now.

yeah, I pretty much share the sentiments of everyone else here. if you don't want your shit passed around like a cheap whore, don't post it on the internet to begin with.

although, in regards to the OP image, I think the person is wrong in blaming -4chan-. my own pet peeve are icon makers who take someone's art, filter the shit out of it into an icon, and then demand credit for their 100x100 photoshop brilliance without so much as a link to the original artist. it's such a hypocritical move. either give credit where credit is due, or don't ask to be given credit yourself.

I'd feel special if my art appeared on 4chan.
Really, artists know by posting their work on the internetz that there is going to be art theft, and (if its fanart)it being whored all over the place.

This is why artists add a watermark, or their website visible in the picture.

Nurrr, good job proving the secret's point, retard.

I often find it irritating when artists DON'T watermark their shit in some way. Asking around for sauce doesn't magically yield results.
>> Anonymous
I've seen my friend's work posted here and he was honored, really. And if mine was posted on here I really wouldn't give a shit. Its not like people are go an claiming their work. If they wanted to credit themselves the should have spent the fucking 5 seconds to type up their URL.

People who don't watermark shouldn't get their underwear in a bunch if its stolen. If they were so concerned about it they should have taken cafe of it in the first place. Or just not post it on the internet.

Grow a brain? Well since all babies with anencephaly die before or a little after birth, I guess I was born with a brain. Etc, etc.

I suppose you haven't seen what these drama queen fan artists say/do. Some of them act as if they were the ones that invented said characters. It's one thing to draw them, but to claim it as IT'S ENTIRELY MINE. Gradiose much don't you think? And I don't believe in the "fanart/doujin = art theft" deal, but whatever makes those retards shut up is fine with me. Just because you drew a picture of Naruto does not mean you are completely entitled to that character.

Honestly, I used to feel like this when I was 14 or so. But then I read an argument somewhere that put it in perspective - so many things in this world can be considered art: figures, posters, fashion, wrapping paper, jewelry, camera work in movies, teacups, and yes, even paintings and art prints. Most of the time you don't give a fuck who created it, you just enjoy their work. The people who create are generally honored that people like their shit enough to buy it.

What makes fanartists so special that they deserve credit where the artists that create the things you see every day don't?

I regularly *buy* art without knowing who the fuck made it. Who are you to say that I'm stealing for sharing works that you allow people to view for free online anyways?

I draw shit all the time and don't even sign it. Yeah, I work hard and all, but after seeing Japanese fanartists do these gorgeous artworks and all for the love of the character or show, I decided to do the same. The character is more important, not my ego.

To fellow artists: LEARN TO TAKE ANONYMOUS CRITICISM.
If your artwork was posted on 4chan and someone said it's crap, and you actually take it THAT SERIOUSLY, don't bother do draw anything anymore. Either a) it is really crappy and you should improve, or b) it's actually good and someone is just jealeous of your skills.
Another thing: As an artist, you will most likely be acknowledged for only less than 30% of your work (Unless you get Da Vinci famous and all of your stuff is hanging around in some huge gallery)

I HATE artists that only create art FOR THEMSELVES. Art is supposed to be shared with everyone, dude. It's not there to make your ego feel better.

fucking seconded, the fact that i don't self-post and most of my fanart eventually trickles onto 4chan is pretty much the pinnacle of artistic achievement to me. at one point i thought it would bite me in the ass when i tried to sell prints, but it didn't. people actually recognized my art even though they had no idea about my main gallery.

i might understand if someone doesn't want people to know they draw porn or gay shit but.. fuck that, don't post anything in the first place if your life would be destroyed should these images end up in the wrong hands.
