I'm not a very colorful person, so a lot of my art is made without color in mind. A group of people have taken it upon themselves to add color to my work and it completely ruins the tone. Some of these recolors get more popular than my original which is not what I want.

Is there a way to make them stop without getting myself canceled, or is it unpreventable?

Have you tried reaching out to them and asking nicely?

Or turn it into a business opportunity. Colored work then non colored on your subscribestar.

Same boat here but you really can't do anything. You'd essentially be crapping on people for expressing an appreciation of your work (even if in a kinda parasitic way), which is never ever a good look. All we can do is suck it up. It's hardly the worst problem to have.

The cancellation is inevitable, twatter is full of autistic schizos waiting for the moment to go for the throat.

>and what if they nicely tell me no?
You can always ask them to give credit in the first place, again, if somebody reposts it without credit, it's inevitable, don't lose your sleep over it.

Tell them that you're colourblind and that by colouring your drawings they're oppressing you.
It's literally so easy.

how much of a faggot do you need to be to get your art stolen and not do anything.
reach them privately, if they ignore you make it public

>> No.6621784

OP why are you talking in such a indirect way
you mean the skinwashers, right?
the people that take your work that you didnt make "diverse" and make it "diverse" themselves?
the virtue signalers?
damn how DO you deal with those people?

i'm actually not. those people are annoying, but i don't draw enough black people to have that issue. i just like to draw in monochrome like in manga and people feel the need to throw color on it.

Ignore and just keep grinding, you fucking retard. If you even remotely think something along the lines that ignoring it will matters worse you're a lost cause with autism.

Have you tried having a more rendered style that'd make it harder to color, most people give up when you can't do most of the job by setting the lineart to multiply and using the bucket fill tool.

Other than your signature, start including your social media handles as well. If they're going to do this, make it worth something to you.

If you really dislike people doing this, simply make a comment on your own page, not directed at anyone in particular, about how you feel you are being taken advantage of by having others use your work for their own "content". You were previously fine with it, but the fact that others are consistently colouring your work and not even bothering to link back to you feels disrespectful, and as if they're now being rude and mocking you for wanting to make black and white works.

By not explicitly calling anyone out, no one can really say you're being rude to them or dog-piling them, and I can't see how anyone could "cancel" you for wanting to exert some control over your work.

when ever i post something with color it never gets touched. it's only the black in white ones they decide to throw paint on and reupload.
>>6621940
i'll try and make a comment not to do it anymore. i expect backlash, but hopefully some people will have my back.
