I'm just a hobbyist artist. I do art on the side, I would like to do projects of my own with other talented artists out there.

Resorting to extremes(but for a good reason)

Posted by TheSketchyArtist - November 8th, 2020


Hello everyone. I've been a bit silent for the last few days. Now, you've may have noticed that some of my art that was previously on here has been removed. Now before you ask 'where is it?? where did it go?!" calm down. I'll fill you guys in on what has happened that has resorted to me to removing some of my art on here(and changing my username if you havent noticed). I was informed a few weeks ago that someone on Deviantart was using some of my drawings of my character Bombzo the bomb clown for shitposting purposes on that website. At first, I ignored it. I didn't think it was that big of a deal to me at the time, except I was later informed about made me concerned.


The person who was doing this was also claiming the credit for said character. I've contacted someone from deviantart through email, even citing the sources on where this was going on that website that this person was stealing my artwork. While I have seen one of the accounts taken care of, the person who is doing this has made seven more accounts to continue this. Situations like what I've had witnessed is why Deviantart needs to go the way of the do-do bird. If they're not going to do squat about this since the person who's using my art for shitposting purposes more than once, they need new management to take care of shit like this. This has happened to others(in terms of having their art stolen), and frankly. I'm quite annoyed that this shit is considered 'acceptable' by DA standards. I've had to remove a majority of my old art that had an old signature which I will as of now not use ever again since it's been affiliated with trolling purposes. From now on. A majority of my SFW art will have my real name, while any NSFW(e.g drawings like burlesque pieces or anything else in that nature) will have a different signature. I've archived all of the drawings that had my old signature on them, I think it would be best if any of my nsfw would be just Newgrounds exclusive art(If I decide to share any announcements of that, I'll crop the drawings to make them more SFW since some of my peers aren't comfortable with that kind of artwork for outside of NG).


Until then. Take it easy friends. 2020 has been quite a wild ride, we're almost of the woods. Just keep your chin up.
