STOP USING FANART as icon, tweet, header WITHOUT CREDITING。Hello, I'm a former member of a Japanese art circle and currently a semi-professional artist。

ㅤㅤMost of the art you are using are from Japanese artists。What's the difference ─

─ between Jp and western artists? Western artist can call you out and ask you to credit/delete the picture。Japanese artists don't have the ability to approach you, instead, THEY TEND TO SHUT DOWN THEIR ACCOUNTS OR LOCK BECAUSE THEY SEE SOMEONE USING THEIR ART。─

─ "BUT I'M NOT CLAIMING THE ARTWORK ON MY ACCOUNT! AND SAY IT'S NOT MINE!" Imagine having spent a lot of hours on one artwork: sketch, lineart, anatomy, shading and someone is using it, not recognizing your hard work and not mentioning you made it。

ㅤㅤHow does that ─

─ feel? Sucks, right?

ㅤㅤArtists survive with people checking their content, supporting them。

ㅤㅤAlso, psst, if you found it on sites like Pinterest, Facebook or whatever without having a source, DO A REVERSE IMAGE SEARCH OR DO NOT USE IT AT ALL。

ㅤㅤ✎ᝰ  A lot of Japanese artist write they don't want their art to be reposted in ENGLISH in their Twitter bio and/or Pixiv bio so make sure to check both。Have some respect and don't even think about using their artwork if they do。
