Депрессио@You_Depressio All of us are guilty of saving photos we find on the internet that we enjoy. But when we sit down to share them, some of us are guilty of doing so without crediting the actual artist.
But there’s watermarks on it
True. But are those watermarks legible? A lot of artists have their signature but have it small enough that it doesn’t interfere within the art. Some artists are recognizable by their style. But still, they deserve to be linked back and credited! If you like one piece of art, chances are, you’re going to like other art they do.
But I can’t read it, so...
You’re in luck! Google is nifty in the sense that it has reverse image lookup. You can do this on both mobile AND desktop/ (So, really, no excuse).
DESKTOP
For the first image, I’m using one of my newest pics:
Now, as you can see, it’s NOT coming up with ME. In this case, it’s showing people that have retweeted me. (insert a mini fangirl moment that LadyRandomBox retweeted my art, okay?)
So, in my case, you can read my watermark and therefore, I erased the google suggested “gentleman” and put in lotrspnfangirl. Now, it comes up like this:
And gives the original posts and a very easy way to credit the artist, because it pulls up most of my social medias!!!
Now, second piece of art is this:
Sometimes, you get all of the pinterest boards (credit should almost NEVER come from Pinterest. It’s notorious for providing false credits). Twitter is USUALLY a safe bet. DeviantArt is always a safe bet. So, I clicked the twitter and....
Credit on the picture says By Marcia... which could be anyone. Artist credit is on Twitter at Депрессио@You_Depressio and a nice link to their direct art page!
But does it really matter?
Yes. If someone took pieces of your art, or your fiction, or your photo ops and just... put them out there without credit, letting people believe that THEY were the creators? That’s not okay. That’s plagiarism. THIS is why people are so upset. This is why artists refuse to allow their works to be reposted and why watermarks are getting larger and obscure the pictures.
If you can’t credit your artists? You don’t deserve to enjoy the art.

It's devil's night but that doesn't mean you have to act like a demon, but if you wanna be as kind and good as Crowley then go for it! Happy night before Halloween and be safe!
P.S. I almost didn't share this because I was experimenting with lighting so it's not my best work. Anyway to the handful of people who see this I hope you like it.
