backtracking!!!
well now, to avoid little problems like using art for rps adn afriad of theft~
,which actually i dont see it as that theft bcs most rpers arent claiming it as their own theyre just suing the picture adn so many people do it i dont think anyones gonan care about who hates it and who doesnt,
anyways, thats why you go with watermarks~ >w> simple as that, i actualyl found one of my pics on another site before 8D hahahah at first i was like WTF! but i ahd a watermark so i didnt care toooooo much, but tehn i got really happy when the person actually had credited where it was from adn who made 8D
but anyways, back to that rp thing, i think id be kinda flatetred someone likes my pic, but i see the point where i dont like that they would be using it to as another chaarcter when the looks is made for that chaarcetrs. so in conclusion, if its some random charaacter, i wouldn't care to much adn would be flattered, however, if its a personal oc, then it would bug me.
WATERMARK!!!

Nifty!
So the one that I have that has an octopus stage...
if I like that stage, I can keep him at that stage?
That's so cool!

@Nari: When your knuffel becomes level 100, you will have the chance to choose among the stages and pick the one you like best. Once you've made the choice, it becomes the knuffel's permanent form; you can't change it after that. What Tilla said.
It took me a year (with me feeding them almost every day...except for some awol days) for me to get my knuffels to around level 90. I bet if I was consistent, they'd be level 100 by now. XD;
@Lunar: Actually, many people do care about who uses their art and people who put a lot of time and effort into designing their OCs tend to get a little upset about people just going around saying that that OC is their own (even if it's only in terms of appearance). If the images were used with permission, that's one thing, but that rarely is the case.
To think that we need to mar our own works with watermarks in order to protect them is pretty sad.

nah nah, i didnt mean it like that. i meant for things like rping. thats not claiming a character as your own for willing nilly spontaneous rping. its just a character for that only and nothing else. i emant that kind of thing was when no one cares as much.
Hell! of course when they say its their own, by all means, get pissy. thats a different story from what i was saying though.
but what people mostly use for rps is anime style anyways. but where they find the pictures usually is photobucket google or ohter image sites for storage.
hardly ever do they search on art websites. so in other words, if yoru gonna have your work open like that, DUH people are gonan use it
again... WATERMARK! solves many problems >>
but yeah, i guess that is sad, but i think i owuld have watermarked anyways even if i didnt need to.

Slow poke.
My watermaking is basically my signature...
or actually it's a logo that I designed for myself.
All of my art, whether it's on an image hosting site like photobucket, or on an art site like DA is not to be used without permission unless I specify otherwise.
My own accounts on said hosting sites are private anyways...AKA they are closed to the public, and the only way to get to my pictures is if I give you permission to use the URL for it.
It's probably why I haven't seen my art anywhere other than where I put it.
Though I did see one of my pictures being used once. I asked the person to remove it. When they got pissy with me, I had it removed. I don't mind people using my stuff, so long as they let me know that they are using it, or credit me.

again, saying, if youre gonan have it out in the open in like photobucket or something, be aware that that makes people think theyre are no strings attached, which was what i was implying in the last post.
actual art sites are different BECAUSE of those rules and such whether self posted or by the site, which is why pelopel dont ussually take from them without permission
ahaha and thye got pissy bcs you wanted thgem to take your art off?
dickhead! hahaha see~ theres ppl like that.. so again.. Watermarrk!! xD
i will never not stress this! xD
i actually got paranoid enough some months ago that i expadned my watermakr so it just isnt one line but spread across mroe space =]]

@Nari: Yeah, I'm uploading all my gift art and commissions I've bought. There's actually a lot. XD;
*nods* I generally just use my signature; no watermark. Even if I watermark the art, someone might just steal the concept anyways. *headfloor*
I don't think I'll ever give people permission to use my art unless it's something I've drawn for them (like art of their OC). I generally make art on my Photobucket password protected.
Someone once asked me if they could post or link to some fan art I did before though. That was, of course, a different matter. >>b

[limg]http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/5058/logo10000bynartinalemal.png[/limg] <----That's my watermark.
It's usually in white, and partially transparent on a piece of the picture that has enough detail to make it noticeable if someone tries to take it off.
I've even had it used as tattoos on characters before.
Nartina has this tattooed on her shoulder blade.
A couple of my other characters use it as jewelry.
One time I turned it into a constellation in the stars.
I'm always looking for new ways to use it in the picture.
I even have it written that no one is to use or alter this either.
lol I'm stingy.

I don't usually get art.
x.x
I'm usually the one giving it out.
>.<
Yeah...if they ask me my permission, then I have no problem with it.
It's when they try and use it without asking me, or at least crediting me if they didn't ask that I have problems.

Wow.
Aha, that tattoo reminds me of Inu Yasha for some reason. I guess seeing the crescent and beads are bringing back some old memories.
I don't think it's wrong not to want other people to take your stuff. >>;
Double negatives. *headfloor*

LOL
It's not a tattoo...
that's the image I use for my watermark...
basically my logo, though I do want it to be tattooed on me at some point.
It has special meaning to me personally.
Every detail in that logo has a special meaning.
The arrow is both my love for archery and a monument to my Native American ancestry.
The Waning crescent is my personal symbol.
The fact that the arrow is going through the moon is from my favorite saying: "Shoot for the moon; even if you don't succeed, you'll still be amongst the stars."
The prayer beads has to do with my own personal style of art and what inspired it.
The dragon is my family guardian.
It took a while to come up with, despite it looking like it only took several moments.
I created it a couple of years ago, and have been using it ever since.
