Posted in A Rant about giving Free art on my end
Posted 7 years ago
So I did get a message back from the owner of the OC, she was pretty cool about it and everything and did ask me to repost it. I probably freaked out for nothing, but it still didn't make me think of the worse. It isn't uncommon on Gaia when someone comes in saying that they had their OC stolen. Its pretty uncool when someone does crap like that. :/
Ok, so I was unaware that I was drawing someone's OC with out permission on a freebie thread that I did on Gaia, right? Well, I didn't know about this til I checked Twitter tonight.
The person that tweeted me was kind enough to let me know that it was there character. I had two options: Take it down or Credit them. I would have credited them, but I took it down since it was drawn without permission by them. They are aware that someone is requesting art of their character but that was on Tumblr. Even though the person in question said it was for a friend on Gaia. If they credited their friend when making the request, I would have added that into my tweet.
Since it isn't possible to edit tweets, I thought it would be best to just remove it completely. Til the original owner messages me back, it will stay down unless they want me to put it back up. It only seems respectful that way.
Don't get me wrong, I love to draw Original Characters. They are really interesting and usually fun to draw. But... If you do not own the character, don't request art of it without crediting your friend or just in general. I find it really sweet for someone to do that for a friend, I really do. I have had a friend request/pay for art of our characters together. Like, if you wanted it to be a surprise for them, then that is also reasonable. But if the person is posting it up some where like dA, Twitter, Instagram, or any other site that you can make comments on the images, then PLEASE for the love of god, credit your friend for their character!
I'll be honest with you, if I posted that up on discord and imgbox and only sent the link, I wouldn't have known that I drew a stolen OC without permission.
I will tell you this now, I don't mind drawing for free at times. It gives me something to do as well as give me practice. But this pretty much ruins it for me. I will still do Original Characters, but now I just have to place down an extra rule on my freebie threads. Heck, I'm not even sure if anyone READS the damn rules!
What do you guys think?

Also, I know the title seems pretty bad, but I hope reading the rant gave a bit more clarification. Like, I do request free art on Gaia a whole lot, but I usually don't expect anything since its more of trail and error. You'll either get free art or not. Heck, as someone who draws for free at times, I am pretty picky on who I draw. So I'm not bashing anyone who doesn't want to draw anyone in a freebie thread. You are the artist, you draw what ever you want to draw. Usually when I post in about 5 or more free art threads on Gaia, I usually don't expect to get drawn. Half the time, I forget that I even posted down my request.

@vengeance: Same here, plus I can't wait to see more in the future.
@Hazer: That's really cool! I'm pretty sure some lighter color themes would look awesome too. Plus I didn't even notice it til after I posted the topic, but I realized that the chibis on the forum areas changed too.
@xirin: I don't blame you on the purple. Plus since I'm usually up all night gaming, a darker back ground is preferable. If only facebook would do that for their app and website. DX Gotta get my meme fix some how.
@Unicorn: I think it would be really cool if they happened to have a unicorn themed event. I'd totally be down with getting a rainbow turd to put on my head.
@Rosamond: A lot of people have been saying that about the purple theme. :) Which is pretty good.
@sunny: I personally like the black theme, but now I'm gonna have to give the purple one a try. xD Lol, y'all convinced me.
@Zuzu: I get ya on that, plus most of the pics I use for my posting layout are usually transparent. I can't stand it being on a plain white background. DX I do know when they didn't have the themes enabled at the time, I had to change the color of my post text. It was too light for the default theme. But I think its at a good middle ground for what it is now.

@Salem: Lol, at least I'm not the only one. My boyfriend finds it weird that I put seasonings in my mayo for my sandwiches. When he makes me a sandwich, I have to tell him that something is missing. He personally likes my sandwiches more due to how I season them. XD And I'll make sure to.
Lol, I can't wait to see them regardless. :)

@Salem: I wouldn't blame you for wanting another. Maybe when I can get to, I'll see about picking some up. But I might put a whole lot of seasonings on it though. xD
I'd love to see it some time. :D I do a few chibis on my chrome book too since its a touch screen, but I don't mind drawing them by mouse on my computer. Plus I can color them a whole lot faster on my computer than my chrome book. XD

@Unicorn: Ah I see. :) I woke up about an hour or so ago now. I'll have to take a nap later for work though.

@Salem: Lol, thank you. :D I can't seem to draw anything else but adorable. xD I tried to draw gore before, but it just kept looking cute. And this is what I was working on. :)

That sounds really good. I never tried a black bean burger, but I'll have to try that eventually. <3

@Salem: Lol, I know how that is. I work a night shift. DX I honestly miss working during the day time, but I don't mind working nights so much. :)
I'll have it done in maybe about 15 to 20 minutes. :) But I finished this cutie on a different site a few hours ago.

@Salem: You should probably give your leg a rest when you can then. DX
I'm doing good. I'm just working on a freebie before I go do my grind on Warframe. xD Need more stuff on my twitter.

Since I really haven't been on, I noticed in my settings that I can change the site theme on my side. I really love it!
Plus I do love how its open for past themes too. I personally like the darker colors since its much easier on my eyes than the usual site theme. :D I really can't wait to see more.
If this was already a topic, I apologize. I just wanted to throw it out there that I really love this. <3

@Unicorn: I'm probably gonna have it as my discord name if anything. I'm just not feeling up to my OC's name anymore. xD
@Tuijp: Not sure if this will work, but I edited my post to respond to ya. ^^;;
But I mostly go on facebook for memes and some other weird stuff.
