a small ,, tiny rant ;___;

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've sent my artwork to!! and i'm still learning & trying to find my own style !! ;__;

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

tracing of my artwork. i, personally, do not allow my icons to be traced nor redistributed without my consent. people who've i've talked to about the matter usually explain they'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'm so, so understanding in these situations & to whomever i dm when i notice they traced my work. i'm not sure if the problem is i'm not clear enough ?? :/ —

but please, do not trace my work, publish it as your own, or use work i've posted that was commissioned for someone else. i'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's happened too often for comfort ??

im sorry if i clogged up your timeline omg bURKDKD i didnt mean for this thread to be so long
