Looks really good. :D though, watermarks are only effective if placed ontop of the image itself. not off to the side. someone determined to steal the image will just cut the watermark off of the image frame. but they can't do that if the watermark is physically overlapping the drawn image.

That's why Deviant art always overlaps a huge "DA" watermark over the center of the frame when you opt to have it watermarked.

The thing is, watermarks like that can be disruptive to people trying to view the image. And even a watermark off to the side like that will help with people who just casually download it and repost, which are a lot more than those who would purposely cut the watermark out

Understandable, but I'm just looking out for the artist when it comes to this kind of stuff. Especially since he stated that a watermarkless version was meant only for the commissioner, which comes off as a little odd when the water mark in question makes no inconveniences for anyone else. Rather than doing what it is meant to, it acts more as a signature rather than a protective watermark.

The neckrozma picture earlier in the gallery makes far better use of the watermark, most likely out of nissesity of not having enough empty space in the frame, but it actually functions as a watermark to keep away from theft.

The other thing is that people who will casually copy and repost a picture, often do so simply because they can't easily edit out a watermark. but if a signature is just on it's own outside of frame, then a quick box cut and paint bucket fill in MSpaint takes off the watermark.

either way, still good pictures, but I just wanna look out for helping people who are worried about their art being stolen.

That could also mean that if a watermarkless one shows up, and the original-poster didn't repost it anywyheres.. you KNOW that that watermarkless version is a fake-and-thus-not-authorized/take it down

potentially. But still. I guess at this point it can be argued pretty much either way.

I still sit in the opinion that watermarks to be effective, need to overlap the image. But in the end, if someone is truly determined to steal an image, there's no leaps too high to jump for them. people even manage to edit uncensored versions of censored images that have that Japanese style tiny black bar censors.

Do you mean like in this post?

The way the mask breaks off is pretty cool.
