im gonna have to start slapping my signature or watermark onto everything i do, but honestly i doubt that'll completely fix the issue happening rn.

i hate when people feel entitled to my art. the audacity someone has to steal a sold adoptable i made and successfully resell it while claiming it to be their own?? i dont understand lmao
ive even watermarked some of my stuff before and something was still stolen with the watermark drawn over- i guess im gonna have to be less subtle about it. its hard for me to express how irritated i am right now- im not even angry. actually dealing with art theft is quite honestly a burden and i dont have much energy to pour into it

[☠puppy gutz!☠]

oh no :') it seems like everyone's having a problem with art thieves on here lately

[GothFairy]

Sucks to hear that man, definitely be less subtle with watermarks though, scares them off

[BuddyCat]

This situation sucks, the thief in question is a very foul human being. I'll never understand what goes through someones mind to make them think it's a good idea to steal someones hard work and something someone else has paid for.

Oh no, there’s a thief going around? Are they reselling here, or on DA or TH? I better watch out for them 💔

[opaquii]

yeah I saw what happened, that really sucks artie :( I hope they get whats coming for them

i know,, i don't have any social media platforms so i can't check out whats going on, but i hate art thieves >:(

[div]

this really sucks. i don't know why people have the audacity to steal from other creators;; and i hope the situation is resolved soon. hopefully watermarking stuff works a bit better but,, people always try to workaround that, which is extremely crappy.

[Raptocidic]

It really sucks when people do this. A more obvious or harder to edit out watermark should deter some people from stealing, so i'd definitely encourage you to do so, especially if you're having to deal with multiple cases of theft.

Sometimes i wish these thieves would stop and think but i suppose they probably don't care if they're scamming people. I really can't understand why some people do steal and try to sell stolen characters. Has happened to me a few times and its a real pain to deal with.

oh no, this sounds bad! some people are just... I don't even have words for them >:(

would anyone mind letting me know who to watch out for? I've been buying a bunch of adopts recently and don't want to end up buying a stolen piece D:
