Miles Up Shore Without A Paddle...

We are but wayward leaves, scattered to the air by an indifferent world

Sketches I think I forgot to post here, I need to get on my drhdr grind again.

Art theft has always been bad, but I feel like the way tiktok promotes remixing other people’s content into “your own” has ESPECIALLY proliferated the idea that, if something is on the internet, it’s anyone’s to take.

like. My friend just found these comments on a tiktok someone made of their comic:

This is why I don’t allow reposts. Because even if I give one person permission, even if they credit me and do everything I ask, you never know who is going to steal it from them.

So here’s your reminder:

If you see fanart or a fancomic you like, you ABSOLUTELY MAY NOT share it without checking if it’s ok first.

IF YOU RUN A FAN ACCOUNT. I’M LOOKING AT YOU. YOU’RE NOT HELPING ‘EXPOSE’ ARTISTS BY POSTING STOLEN ART YOU’RE JUST BEING SELFISH AND DISRESPECTFUL. @‘ING ME ON INSTAGRAM ISN’T GOING TO FIX THE FACT THAT YOU DIDN’T ASK PERMISSION

THIS GOES FOR TRANSLATIONS. I UNDERSTAND WANTING TO MAKE A COMIC MORE ACCESSIBLE TO YOUR LANGUAGE, BUT IT’S STILL A CONCERN THAT IT WILL GET STOLEN FROM YOU (and I KNOW some people don’t ACTUALLY care about it being more accessible, because I’ve asked people to reblog my original post with a translated transcription and they threw a fit because they obviously just wanted the views for their own page)

Comic dubbers are also not exempt from needing to ask for permission. I know there’s a lot of editing and you are technically producing new content, but jfc you still need to ASK TO USE SOMEONE’S ART. ESPECIALLY IF YOU’RE MONETIZING YOUR PAGE.

I also DO NOT CARE if your pinterest page is “just for your personal reference” STOP UPLOADING ARTWORK AS ORIGINAL POSTS. IF YOU MUST PIN ART, JUST POST THE LINK!!!! I die a little inside every time someone says they saw one of my comics on pinterest and had a hard time finding my actual post.

Why is it important that artists stay credited? Well, I for one, am about to start my junior year of my BFA, and I won’t be able to work my part-time job anymore. My art is going to be only source of income. Every time someone reposts my art without credit, that’s more people that won’t find the link to my store. That’s potential job recruiters that won’t find my portfolio. That’s work that I’ve done that someone else is getting activity for, potentially even making money off of.

Please, PLEASE be aware of art theft. Point it out when you see it. Please understand most artists see it as offensive and disrespectful and are not flattered by it.

It's not easy being a fan of these underrated hottie

CAN I SMOOCH THE GOAT OR NOT TOBY

I’M NOT PLAYING THESE GAMES TOBY

Dream SMP VODS

ive heard people are trying to recover and organise old VODS that might have been deleted because of twitch and such, and i wanted to say, this might be an easier solution

recently i made a poot abt this channel Blueberry TV that has been making videos of the entire smp from the start, and they link this playlist full of vods in order from the start of the smp, so i figured i would share it: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2hRs9vP8zCpeV1mkjk3J0eBnNvk3mMI1

it has over 1000 vods, some from official vod channels, some from fan re-uploads, but i think it has the majority, if not every vod out there

[sorry for many tags, i wanted to make sure this reaches the people who are looking for it]

so that episode huh!

did anyone else spot the parallel btw in the green festival where Tommy pulled himself out of a spiral and decided not to partake in the destruction of l'manburg (thus, refusing to follow in Wilbur's footsteps), and Tubbo refusing the execute Ranboo after he was outed as a traitor (thus, refusing to follow in Schlatt's footsteps). the fact that it was on the same day as well? has anyone pointed that out?

Important Announcement - Repost and Spread the word

we need more absolutely deranged and bizarre trans characters in media. victims of the weird little girl to sleazy car salesman pipeline. women who are cartoon magicians. characters who live in a broken down volkswagen bus for no real reason. sword cane owners who wear a suit every day and go to the dollar store like that. trans characters that are outcasts not because they are trans but because they are genuine little freaks <3 hope this helps!
