a small ,, tiny rant ;___; https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💔" title="Gebrochenes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Gebrochenes Herz">

i understand we all get inspired and we all start somewhere with art. i was in the same place months ago when i first got procreate & some of my original artwork looked like others. it takes time to pick up a style —

and i went through that process tenfold, as people who follow my priv twit has seen or friends i& #39;ve sent my artwork to!! and i& #39;m still learning & trying to find my own style !! ;__;

in general, where i& #39;m trying to get at ,, it& #39;s happened a few times where i& #39;ve caught blatant —

tracing of my artwork. i, personally, do not allow my icons to be traced nor redistributed without my consent. people who& #39;ve i& #39;ve talked to about the matter usually explain they& #39;re practicing artists, but it honestly makes me so sad to see art that took me hours and a million —

drafts to make to be traced and published so easily. i& #39;m so, so understanding in these situations & to whomever i dm when i notice they traced my work. i& #39;m not sure if the problem is i& #39;m not clear enough ?? :/ —

but please, do not trace my work, publish it as your own, or use work i& #39;ve posted that was commissioned for someone else. i& #39;ve seen instances where people have traced & published them as their profile pictures, these situations also make me uncomfortable ?? :/

this was not small rant at all but ,, it takes away my motivation to draw so so much , i just wanted to get it off my chest because it& #39;s happened too often for comfort ?? https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Laut schreiendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Laut schreiendes Gesicht">
