How would you feel if your art was used by " aesthetic accounts "

[Anonymous No.3585586]

Them simply grabbing your art and slapping your name somewhere. They get many likes and follows, and a active comment section. While you still struggle on " making it "

[Anonymous No.3585590]

How do they make money by taking art from others and posting?

I don't care but would probs still ask to be credited, i was thinking that it must be a lot of effort to do those pixel sceneries like your image, it's just reasonable to be offended and demand credit when your art is stolen

If they are a big account you could pay them to massively promote your stuff.

Want to know the cold hard truth? Nobody gives a shit about who the artist is or who was the person behind a piece of work. You either fap to it and forget about it or save it along with the other thousands of nameless pieces. It is very rare to have somebody go out their way and research who's the author behind the content and even more so to patronize them. People are only concerned about one thing and that is the content you provide, not you.

it'd be pretty silly to expect images not to go wherever they can on the internet (google is on the case though), but i'm sure it does suck to not even get recognition for your work.

[Anonymous No.3585650]

>>3585597
You're retarded. If I like a piece then I want to see more pieces like it, and the most logical way of going about that is looking up the artist

Anyone who wants to enjoy my art or post it around is fine by me. That's why I make art... If they include my name, that's a step above.

[Anonymous No.3585780]

Why should anyone care? You do have a real job besides making art right? You can't be retarded enough to expect to make a living purely out of doodles.

[Anonymous No.3585800]

Don't know. All those type of accounts I follow post sources. Hell other artists follow them too.

Only happened to me once and got me the biggest boost in followers I ever had. I've never seen any of the big accounts on IG or twitter that repost art not give credit to the artist either. Then again, maybe it's different for photographers like in your image. There usually isn't much of an incentive to check out a photographer if you like their work, but many people who enjoy a painting or drawing will want to check out the artist for similar work. Especially if you have a unique style.

He has a point, there are exceptions but most of the people who follow those A E S T H E T I C accounts actually don't care who the artist is, they just want a steady flow of different aesthetic stuff in their feed

>how would you feel
gratitude at not having to worry about micromanaging the cesspool of social media. god its great having a real job. other famous artists dont have to worry about this shit, they let the bottom feeders do as they will, and not only that, if someone steals a pic from Kim jung gi or something, they get MORE likes. But see op's pic, the artist goes after them, and the meme account owner doesnt care enough to take standing into account and talks back freely. maximum kek. keep spending energy for nothing.

If this is an issue for you just add a watermark at the bottom when you upload stuff.

[Anonymous No.3585951]

>>3585921
Not that guy, but aren't you guys constantly paranoid and complaining about artists "shilling" their work here on /ic/? Why would you be so mad if someone actually does shill your work for free on social media? It makes no sense to me. They are literally helping you promote your work. For free.

[Anonymous No.3585963]

>>3585951
thats a shit point, but it made me recall how meme accounts steal work, and its found by fans, and a whole fiasco gets kicked up, and the twitter threads result in the work getting more exposure than it had.

Honestly, not that bad. Regardless, worrying about other users 'stealing' your jpegs is autismo tier.

[Anonymous No.3585979]

>>3585597
that's actually newfag thinking. On the contrary, people are actually more interested in the person behind the art than the art itself.

that "fap and forget" thing only applies to western porn beg drawings, and that's hardly considered art

I'd rather have my art being reposted to some aesthaeteacs dumpster without mentioning me than getting no attention at all.

you could try sending your art to some youtube music channels, a lot of ilya, wlop and others' pic are in them

>adding signatures to your shitty work
Only /beg/ tier artists put signatures/website links in their art. No professional does this because it looks cringe.

[Anonymous No.3586304]

Most people care who the artist is so they can follow them instead.

If someone wants to find me they can usually reverse image search the thing, it's getting pretty consistent. I think the few people who like a piece enough to try and find the artist are willing to reverse image search, I am anyway. The only time reverse image searching art seems to not work is when it's shit on pinterest, which seems to blow up like 3 pages of google with various pinterest pages of the same art with no source.

It's not a huge deal to me, not enough to get pissy. If I really feel like I'm missing out on exposure I might DM them and ask for credit but there's really no point in getting butthurt and it won't get you any closer to having the problem solved anyway. This is the internet, people will share your shit and most people really don't care enough to credit you, it's going to happen.

I get why you would want credit, but it’s not exactly stolen in the modern world of “anyone can copy the image and share it with whomever they want and it’s completly legal.” It would be one thing if you have it pay walled and they’re purposely distributing it for free, but if it’s just them taking a public work and sharing it unfortunately that’s what happens with art when it’s shared with the world.

It’s sort of like if you were a street artist and some rich dude bought a $10 painting of yours that he liked and hung it up in his house. Sure, it would be nice if when he had people over and cocktail mixers and people le asked about it he gave them some detailed info about, but if he’s just like: “Oh that, yeah it’s something I found while browsing around. Isn’t cool? Be impressed by what good taste in art I have.” You can’t send him a letter being like “Listen fuckface, you better give my full name, email, tumblr, instagram, and art station links to every single person that so much as glanced in that paintings direction.”

Granted, It would be different if they were trying to act like it was their art, or if they just switched some colors around and shared it as their own because of “all my kewl edits.” That would be stealing.

That being said, it would be nice to credit or link to the original artist, but if they can’t or won’t for some reason your best bet is to just message them and ask if they’d mind adding a link (which you can conveniently provide) to the original post or make another post giving you a shout out. That guy in the pic even seemed to be willing to do the later for a bit in his bio.

Assuming positive intent and approaching people respectively will get you better results than being hostile.
