This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed 🎨
Please visit https://lemmy.world/c/artmarket as well! This is a community for artists to post their portfolios and announce availability to take commissions, as well as get visibility for Ko-fi, Patreon, and other funding for art activities.
Rules
AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).
NSFW Policy: Nudity and suggestive content has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity or suggestive content, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity or suggestive content that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude or suggestive subject matter. If you aren't sure if your work is NSFW or not, just ask yourself, "Could I look at this at a typical office job and not get into trouble?" If you're still not sure after that, you should probably mark it as NSFW just to be on the safe side.
Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.
Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.

Original by Eric Decetis
I knew I'd seen something similar!
Yep, saw this the other day
It’s very far side.
Good eye!
Why didn’t you credit the original?
It’s literally drawing practice.
Eh, I see what you're saying, but regardless of its quality, you're still publishing it by sharing online and it's good practice/common courtesy to credit sources. At the very least it points people down the path to find more if it sparks an interest.
This isn’t a bad take.
yep, best practice, shouldn't take you long, and when you don't, people assume you're either ignorant of the OG or a shitbag, and both of those impressions are best avoided.
It’s literally a 1:1 copy of an existing work. What you were doing with it at the time is irrelevant. What a weird way to behave if you want to be seen as an artist yourself.
It calls into question all the other stuff you’ve posted. Were any of those uncredited reproductions of someone else’s idea?
“No”, I’m sure you’ll say. But now we’ll never know.
Be better, man. Credit where credit is due.
