Just a little info Iād like you to read
Iām chill with people liking my work and stuff but if you want to make it like, your icon. Please talk to me. And please donāt use actual pictures I draw of myself, itās not very cool :/
But fanart of other characters is fine if you ask me first , but just doing it without telling me or using personal self-depicting pieces of me is not slay and I will be not very cool with you if you do that
K thx
:/
As an artist, itās essential to establish clear communication with your audience regarding the use of your work. Many creators appreciate the support and admiration from fans but often draw the line when it comes to personal representations. When utilizing someoneās artwork, whether itās fan art or personal illustrations, always ask for permission. This not only shows respect for the artistās boundaries but also fosters a community built on trust and mutual appreciation. It can be especially sensitive when it involves personal artwork or self-depictions. Artists may feel uncomfortable seeing their likeness used without consent, so itās crucial to address this openly. Additionally, fan art of characters other than the creatorās own can often be more acceptable, provided that the artist is contacted beforehand. This conversation is not only about protecting artistic integrity but also about nurturing the relationships between creators and their supporters. Mutual respect is key in any artistic community.
Dang, I read the thing you put, sorry if people are using your work as their pfp but I feel you're right for actually addressing the problem cause they never asked and if its your work then they should ask first, btw nice sketch
