As much as it shouldn't be a big deal......but when you're an artist who gets mostly "private" commissions, and it boosts, it kinda bugs me, I don't mind it sometimes but when I can't show my artwork to the world, it concerns me. the more it happens. I keep the "Offer to keep name anonymous + artwork watermarked" feature in my commission sheet and none seems to read it at all. I get paid extra to hide commissions but sooner or later it bugs me because I end up enjoying the work i'm doing and it bothers me that I can't show it.

I can see if it's a temp thing that I can't post til later but constantly "Please don't post publicly" perma request commissions is discouraging and there's easy methods to hide a commissioner's identity to it if they're ashamed of the commission or dont want ppl to know the art is for them for specific reasons. I know there's art thieves and such but still, I can heavily watermark it as I do my designs. I would appreciate it you don't limit me to hiding my own work for the sake of future references needed so new commissioners can know I can draw something specific. I like to keep my pages updated in my works than have like 10 pics I did that's told "do not post".

(These private commissions are like rated e+ btw..nothing serious at all..... >>)
