(Oddly I dont seem to get Adopts/Commissions on here since it's all gained from FB or on FA, but i'll post this here too.)

You're very welcomed to use my watermarked versions of adopts/designs that you've bought from me, that I originally posted to load in your own gallery, I can absolutely understand your concerns and worries when it comes to safety and art and character thievery, which is common in the art world, as I run into these people a lot online, especially on Furcadia (Furn Map most). A HIGH majority of players there thinks it normal to steal/RP/personally claim characters made by general freelance artists, and they never went to get their consent to use them, and think just "General credit" means it's fine, or use the "Fair Use" BS excuse and i've seen other artists a lot on FA complain about this too, most even have a "Don't use my characters without permission" notes on their pages. It's sickening tbh. Freelance art/characters is completely different than official characters like Pokemon, Digimon, Mario etc.

I feel for the artists, or commissioners who have to personally get their art taken off e261, F-list websites etc. This is why I greatly watermark my adopts, to make it annoying, but enough for potential buyers to see it, and yes, I've been told "It's easy to remove watermarks now", which is pretty disrespectful doing it to someone's art.

Fair use is commonly used for being able to criticize or parody content, which is a term used on youtube/video makers, but hearing it used for art thievery....smfh
