god i always feel so awkward asking people to give me credit when theyve used my icons or transparents jfksjjfd

like ik i didnt like. draw these or anything, i just took official art and did a bunch of edits.... but it Does take quite a bit of time to make them, and it also requires having a good eye for icon-making to have them actually look nice in Icon Size

like i gotta keep it visually pleasing and add color adjustments but have it still recognizeable what is in the picture when small, cropping just right so its not too zooomed out/too close and also centered or off-center in a way that fits the pic better, choosing/editing the background, any extra details i edit/draw on, dont have it be cluttered, etc. some of the transparent i make are even from bad quality and/or small pics that i have to manually clean up and basically draw over bits to make them look nice.

im always putting a lot of thought and work into making my icons nice and my transparents clean so i feel like i deserve credit for them! and yet when it comes down to approaching someone to ask for credit when theyre using one im just like ah, >.<;; could you credit me pls... if you dont mind... if thats okay with you... 👉👈

goodnight my sweet boy 🤍 I hope you’re getting some good rest in after tour !! ily !!

Simply Simple is a Mic song. And I’m not just saying that because of my addiction to interpreting lyrics just so they fit to him.

I have question for you as an artist and I would like to make it clear that this question is genuine because I really have doubts about this. Let's put it as if I found a fanart (like on Pinterest, for example) and it doesn't have the artist's signature, can I repost it without permission? Because I don't know who the artist is but I'm also not saying that the art is mine (and stealing something that isn't mine)... Like, can I do this? Or can I not do this? Or does it depend on the person? Like I said, it's not like I'm saying it's mine, I just don't know whose it is. Or I could put in the description "credits to the artist, I couldn't find who it is"? I really have doubts about this. I've seen a lot of art that I could post but didn't do because of this (and for reasons of respect too)... And also, in terms of knowing who the artist is, let's assume that I didn't ask for permission to post and still I posted, but giving due credit... Can I do that? I can't? Since you are an artist, I believe you would know how to answer. Thank you for reading, I'm sorry if I said something uncomfortable. I don't want to offend anyone at all, I just have these doubts largely because I don't want to put people in uncomfortable situations and such (of doing something without asking them). Thank you again.

Hi, Anon! I am glad that you are informing yourself on this matter first before reposting. And absolutely nothing you said was uncomfortable. <3

There's a long explanation under the cut but TL;DR this is less so a matter of art theft and rather one of copyright legalities. Since everybody has free reign over their copyright, the answer to your question will vary from artist to artist. That means, without permission from the artist, you can potentially be held liable regardless of whether or not you've added credit or specified that you are not the artist. However, it's unlikely you will ever face legal consequences for reposting.

I hope this answer was helpful to you, dear Anon! Have a great day :D

The long explanation:

First of all, the legal matters. Even if you are not "stealing" art in the traditional sense (ie. claiming it as your own), you might still be infringing on a person's copyright.

The act of reposting (not to be confused with reblogging) is essentially creating a copy of an already existing artwork, which is an exclusive right of the copyright owner and should not be infringed. In short, the creator of a piece has the right to decide who gets to use their work when, where, and how. There are a few legitimate exceptions to that, including fair use (which makes fan content possible in the first place).

Now, I didn't study copyright law and I do not know how many of the exclusive rights still apply in the case of fanart. However, if the artist does hold those rights to their work, the act of reposting makes you liable and the artist is technically able to sue you (the odds are close to zero though, I'd say). This applies regardless of whether or not you have credited the artist. Legally, you are required to ask permission.

There are many artists who have their exploitation rights outlined in a Q&A, their TOS, or in the image description. Some are fine with reposting. Others not. Some might want you to credit them. Others don't care. Some might only accept reposting to a different platform. Some might want you to properly @ or notify them.

Pinterest in particular is a massive copyright infringement platform at this point (not that the creators intended for this, but that's what's mostly happening on there). The uncredited artworks you are speaking of were most likely uploaded without permission already and are the copyright equivalent of "stolen goods".

With these legal matters out of the way, let's talk about internet culture! Because while, obviously, everybody should follow the law... the internet doesn't really operate like that, now does it?

I have seen many people reposting artworks saying they "don't know the artist" / "can't find the artist" and that they will add credit if somebody finds the artist or take the image down if requested. And so far, I haven't seen anybody losing their shit about that. But that is just my experience. However, some people might still feel uncomfortable with this practice. Artists in particular might even say it harms their exposure, discoverability, or profit.

Whether you think it's fine to repost an uncredited artwork or not, you should, at the very least, try to comply with the artist's wishes. That means using Google reverse image search and specifying that you do not own the image and would take down the image or give credit if the artist requests it.

Also, please don't harass anybody just for reposting something without credit. There are many people unaware of the exact rules surrounding copyright and never meant to harm or disrespect the artist, let alone infringe on a law.

I'm probably an idiot BUT what's the difference between a repost and a reblog? I see so many artists have that little 'dont repost but reblogs are fine' message and I never have any idea what to do so I leave a like/comment as support.

Sorry to bother but can U explain so I can support my favs as much as possible? (One of those favs being you 👀👀)

Reposting just means saving the photo and posting it directly to your own account. Reblogging just means tapping that little reblog button, that way it's still linked to my account, it's my post but your reblogging to your page. I don't exactly know how to explain it other then that? Just don't make your own post and use my artwork. Reblog are encouraged and appreciated! Especially with comments! I read literally all of them, tags too! They make my day.

btw just wanna iterate that i do not have tiktok or amino, and do not upload my art on/really use instagram or pinterest, so if you ever see my art on those sites without credit, it's been reposted lmao

People posting my script pictures on twitter without permission or credit then people saving that image and posting it on tumblr without permission or credit help me... Just saw a tumblr post of an image I literally took and has obviously been passed around various social media until returning here

Like obviously I don't care I just took a picture of a book I don't own the rights to it or anything I don't even really care about credit because I do everything I can to avoid getting any more followers on here but it's so weird... I've been trying to crop the images to avoid having my fingers in the picture or any background of my house because seeing that in someone else's post would jumpscare me I think

what is my art doing on know your meme HELP ME !!!!!
