Pose Packs No Longer Free To Use
9 years ago
General
My pose packs have become pay2use.
This is due to people not crediting them, and sharing them off-site without permission, which just led to more people using them without bothering to credit.
Furaffinity is by the way one of the worst places when it comes to tracing and using refs without credit. I see SO many people do this on here. Along with DA, this is really at the top of 'artists' who just trace ref poses, bases and even artists their own art, and then dont provide the proper credit when this is asked to do. Its so simple yet no one does it.
There's more shame in hiding the fact you need a little help still making something you enjoy, rather then there is in the fact of admitting this.
There's nothing wrong with using a ref, as long as the artist ALLOWS you to do this of this artwork.
NEVER use somebody elses art as a 'ref' when its not meant to be used as such. Have some bloody respect for other people who work hard on their stuff for once.

I use bases frequently [coloring for fun and/or profit] and always make sure to credit the base's makers. It's such a simple thing to do, it aggravates me when others don't bother with it. =/
I see a bunch of 'artists' on FA and DA trace and take others their artwork without crediting or even asking if they can and frankly, i dont want to call those people artists at all. Ill rather call them art thieves and disrespectful.
Can't say I'm surprised though, anyone with a drop of skill gets art stolen, and you have quite a large margin more than a drop of skill so of course people are gonna leech off of your generosity.
I wish art thieves were easier to get banned. Its a constant uphill battle to fight them, ESPECIALLY on DeviantArt
But yeah sadly, it had to go like this. I wish it hadn't but, i suppose it was to be expected eventually 8I
Sad to hear this, -hugs-
