1. So.
Uhm... my art is being stolen and reposted.
It's strange to say this because I'm a small artist, I don't have a lot of followers (and I'm not even that active on social media) so I never imagined it would happen to me.
I've been away for a while, but in the meantime I've been working on some drawings, but I plan to post them when I can find the time to be consistent on social media. I hope my profile doesn't die out, especially regarding my future comic. 😭
1. So.
Uhm... my art is being stolen and reposted.

7. I wasn't respected. My wishes weren't respected, and that pisses me off.
I'm really pissed off right now. These are things that happen every day in the online art world. I know. But I'm still angry.
Also, if you see my design somewhere, please report them.
6. because I wanted it to be perfect precisely because of the meaning and the strong connection I had with it. It was important on a level I can't explain in words. I did it for myself. Just for me. And I had explicitly asked that it not be reposted.
5. It makes me angry. That tattoo means a lot to me. I know that putting it on interest exposed it to risks, but I naively didn't think something like this would happen.
It took me months to get that tattoo done (which obviously I used it on my own back),
4. My design has been reposted, used for other tattooo, my watermark has been removed ans most importantly, used for commercial purpose. Without my consent.
3. However, when I noticed that the pic didn't have my watermark, I became suspicious.
Why wasn't it there? I had put it there.
It literally took me 30 seconds to search for my design online and... wow? My design is on TikTok, Pinterest, YouTube, and especially Reddit.
2. This morning I noticed on Tiktok that someone used my orv tattoo design as the cover for their video. (This one ->)
It surprised me, but... nothing drastic. They could have given me the credits, but well okay.
Last year i started working on my light novel/comic aaaand here she is: Anna Mancini, the main character.
The main genres are: Romance and mystery. :3
I'm working on the prologue that I'll publish later on webtoon. I can't wait to finish it and publish it😭🐈⬛
