Before I begin let me make this clear
This is an opinion of mine. You thinking differently is totaly understandable and does not make me think of you in any negative way.

But yeah this is about reposting art. Sometimes art is reposted on other sites. Im not talking about deviantart in this situation, because this is a platform where people share their own creations. But like tumblr or something, where people also share things they just like. When reposted, it is done in one of these ways ;
1 reposted with giving full credit to the artist
2 reposted and claiming to be the artist themselfs (when theyre not)
3 reposted with mentioning that the art isn't theirs but no link to the original artist

1 and 2 are obvious opinions, I think most people think the same way when it comes to those. 1 is great, 2 is stupid.
but im here to talk about 3. This is an unpopular opinion but
I dont mind people reposting my art on other sites without actually crediting me
As long as they don't claim it as their own, its fine.

I enjoy making art, thats the main reason I draw in the first place. When my art is somewhere on a different site, without a link to my art page, it wouldnt take away the joy I had. Of course I want some recognition for my art, I mean why else would I post it on the internet in the first place. But I already have a place for that ; its here. If my art can be enjoyed by more people, with or without my name on it, im fine.

This is of course for every artist different. Thats why it feels kinda weird to call this an opinion. But what I just want to say is ; If you ever see my art uploaded on a different site, but there is no credit given to me, but no one claims they drew it themselfs ; no need to message me about it.
I simply don't mind it.


Thanks for reading and hope you have a nice day !
