This is so like the description of my character it's almost like you've read it, haha.
" The person sitting on the roof has hair like moonlight, and her deep blue eyes reflect all the millions of stars, as though she has captured the universe inside her soul. She is dressed in a white nightgown, simple in design, but on her it looks so stunning that I catch my breath. Her hair and dress float around her, teased into motion by the soft breeze, and she seems like a fragile, ethereal being, caught between this world and the void, as though she will fade away any second and I will realize she was just a dream. I find myself reaching toward her, thinking maybe if I hold on to her she won’t disappear."
Seriously so similar... Your artwork is lovely!

it's her choice as an artist. Also rude to say that the own name tag "ruined" the picture.

"Rude"? What is that supposed to mean, I'm supposed to revere the name and not the art? Is her ownership of the piece more important than the art itself? I don't think so.
As for "choice as an artist", the artist in her probably wasn't too happy about sticking a tag right in the centre of the piece. It was about authorship, not the art itself.

So many artist (mainly popular ones) put a tag on their art, usually so it doesn't get stolen and other can't claim it as their own art. Tags have a purpose yknow.

nitrobutane In reply to Kunstbanane [2017-11-11 17:48:32 +0000 UTC]
That 'purpose' interferes with appreciating the art itself.
The problem should be tackled by devoting effort to exposing art thieves, not by stamping ownership tags on arts.

Firstly, Though it may not be my business, how are you even supposed to find out if someone steals your art? It can take a long time to find out. An wasting your time just to find out i someone took your art is a waste of time when you could be doing other things. You won't understand the need to do this unless you've been through it before.

Like I said, authorship of the art is hardly more important than the art itself.
>how are you even supposed to find out if someone steals your art?
With a reverse image search. It's very functional nowadays. Saucenao.com has deviantart indexed, pixiv indexed, all sorts of other art websites indexed.
And it provides a link to a Google and a Tineye search for your image.
-And people are already aware of Google and Tineye, so it's not such a big problem.

As for your first statement; Sure, 'authorship of the art is hardly more important than the art itself.', however, how would you feel if something you put countless time and effort into making something gets 'stolen' within seconds and claimed as someone else's? Sure, the main focus of your art is not the authorship, but personally, to the artist of the work; or anyone who creates something that they worked hard on, 99.9% of the time would not like something you worked hard on to just get claimed as someone else's at the snap of a finger.
Secondly, as I said before, why would a person have to constantly reverse image search there drawings all the time so it won't get stolen? ('cause people could easily screenshot a picture and claim it as there own at anytime) Putting a water mark in the middle that barley makes a difference and only barley shows the name o the artist, saves time. Sure, when people put a HUGE water mark smack in the middle of the drawing it does get annoying, and you could encourage a smaller watermark; however in this piece, its just a small font of "Yumei art.com" and barley interrupts anything in the picture, it even is in a color that matches the color scheme. I don't see any huge watermark stopping you from enjoying the piece.

I'm against theft/plagiarism, because I support authenticity. And that's exactly why I say the art is the more important thing. Art theft is a revolting practice (especially when done by big 'legit' companies), but to say art gets 'stolen within seconds' is hyperbole. Usually this does not happen. (Also, it's 'their' not 'there')
There are many artists, including popular ones, who do not put any watermarks (eg t1na, juh-juh, and often megatruh). Artists taking a collective stance against art theft is imo better than everyone watermarking everything.
A watermark is a spot that does not let me be at peace. It's always *there*, staring at me from my periph, and I have to avoid that part of the picture with my eyes. This is why so often people cut off the part with the watermark. Not to steal it, but just to post it on an imageboard for others to enjoy, without a marking stuck on it (in this case, advertising someone's personal website).
And a watermarks IN THE MIDDLE doesn't "barely make a difference". It is really obvious.
Here it's right in the visual centre of the image (where most of the detail is).

Just because you do not see the art being claimed as someone else's, does not mean some one has not claimed it as their own. When I said the watermark barley makes a difference, I meant it was in a color to match the color scheme of the picture. People who put watermarks put them there because they are often one of the people that get their art 'stolen' before and do not want to go through the process of trying to find, over and over, whether their art stolen or not. You are entitled to your own opinion, an yes, I o admit they can be a pain in the butt, but the watermarks do decrease art theft. If you would like to see it without the watermark,take off the layer yourself, o look for someone who already did and posted it with credit. I am not saying that "watermarks are awesome an there is nothing wrong with them!" I'm saying they are up to the artist and serve there purpose unless the watermark is too noticeable (Like the shutter-stock watermark). Finally, I think you misinterpreted when I said art gets stolen within seconds. I meant a person can easily screenshot it and claim it as their's, not every second a picture gets stolen.

Did you even understand what you said? "Take off a layer" from this jpeg image? And expose the layer underneath? When jpegs do not have layers?
A watermark right in the middle is a taint on the image, a sign of possession, trying to own things that cannot be owned. The artist makes an image based on universal aesthetic/spiritial ideals, something that will apeal to us all. And then sticks a mark in the middle like they own it. Can anyone really?
As for the spelling, if nobody points out the mistakes, people will think that's the right way to spell. And the English language would decay.
(you wrote "barely" as "barley" twice now. Are you doing this on purpose just to annoy me? You surely realize they're two different words with different pronounciations? Then again, you did just tell me to 'remove a layer' from a jpeg...)

Ok, I am too lazy to write a full paragraph again, so.......Q&A style
"Are you doing this on purpose just to annoy me?"
^Yes, did you not notice?!
-"Did you even understand what you said? "Take off a layer" from this jpeg image? And expose the layer underneath? When jpegs do not have layers?"
^It was a freaking example
-"As for the spelling, if nobody points out the mistakes, people will think that's the right way to spell. And the English language would decay."
^That's why we have (lets say it together) SCHOOL! It is not your job to correct everyone on the internet, and you not correcting a person's grammar/ spelling is not going to make the language decay lol.
-"A watermark right in the middle is a taint on the image, a sign of possession, trying to own things that cannot be owned. The artist makes an image based on universal aesthetic/spiritial ideals, something that will apeal to us all. And then sticks a mark in the middle like they own it. Can anyone really?"
^Yes, they can own it. How? The PURPOSE of a drawing CAN be to "make an image based on universal aesthetic/spiritual ideals, something that will appeal to us all." ( and if correcting spelling is SOOOO important: *spiritual *appeal), however, it does not change the fact that someone made it, and it would be disrespectful to claim it as your 'own'. The purpose is not always to do what you said anyway. It could be for personal reasons, and they could be sharing it to others to create awareness as well.
Wow this has gone really off topic

>It was a freaking example
Of what, exactly? Of the author specifically uploading their images to deviantart in a format that has layers, in a way that makes it possible to remove the layer with the watermark?
As for school, it didn't stop your English standards from slipping did it? Nor many other people on the Internet, who mutilate the language even worse. You openly ignored the point, which is that people see incorrect spelling on the Internet and think it's the correct one, and the mistake gets perpetuated. It's like you don't understand this actually happens.
>and if correcting spelling is SOOOO important: *spiritual *appeal
"Spiritual ideals" is not incorrect spelling.
And those ideals are in fact universal. If an an image draws on them, that's what it is, regardless of the author's intent.
>someone made it, and it would be disrespectful to claim it as your 'own'
Yeah, um... you've twisted it around to make it sound like I support art theft. Even though I've clearly said the opposite before. If I'm saying that even the author can't own it, how can I support the idea of a thief claiming it as their own?
Again, can't tell if you're trolling or just can't logic.

The watermark's not only there to prevent art thieves, but also to let people find the artist behind the picture.
I love this picture very much and I have to say, if it didn't have the watermark on it, I would've never found Yuumei as an artist or the rest of her art.
Sure I could always copy the pic and search it through Google, but when there would be hundreds of pages with this precise same image with no watermark, you better believe I don't have interest and time to dive in search of the real artist's name.
If the watermark bothers you, that's too bad, but in the time of modern internet where anyone can upload anything to anywhere for everyone to see, watermark is more of a necessity than a bother.

Are you paying attention? I was pointing out that [i]sticking the watermark into the visual centre of the image[/i] will definitely bother people.
Also, the 'omg hudreds of results' is misleading. In google reverse image search, if you look for the biggest image the link to this page is within the top three results. In tineye it's within the top two. It doesn't matter how many other results there are. So people can find the artist atill. Many artists, even popular ones, don't put watermarks on their art.

Believe me or not, but there actually are people who just don't see the watermark/signature, unless it's quite big and near the center of the picture. On more than few occasions I've seen people coming asking for the artist of a picture, while his/her watermark has been placed far from the center of a picture, and it's not like the signature was made to read through magnifying glass. After they are told that there indeed is the artist's signature in the pic they go: "Oh! Totally missed that, ty"at which point I start to ponder if these people pay any actual attention at all to the pictures they see, or are they just blind.
I use reverse image search almost every day, too, but the truth is I don't always find just the pic I'm looking for. Google often finds similar pictures, though. That's why I always write up the url of the sites where I first find the pictures and later search for them in the "traditional way", because that's when I always certainly find just the picture in the quality and size I want it in. So as good as the reverse image search is, even with that you might not find what you are looking for.
It is an artist's own choice if they put a watermark/signature on their art pieces or not. The most popular ones don't always have to, because their art is so widely known already that even if someone tried to steal their art, the community takes care of the ownership of a picture. And not-so-popular artists who don't put a signature on their pics are most likely people who draw just for fun and/or are not confident about their art yet. I would be one of those people if I drew anything: I do it just for fun, but since I don't feel like my art is anything even worth stealing, why bother with a signature? However if you are studying art and possibly aiming to get a job in the field, the watermark is most necessary in order to prove that the picture is indeed yours. Sure, you don't have to put the watermark in the center of an image, but it is easy to erase signatures and watermarks on computer using even the most simple programs, if the signature is put in a place where there's not much detail. (I was also one of those bitches who erased the signature whenever it was possible, because I liked my wallpapers "clean." I never claimed the pictures to be my own, nor did I upload them again on the internet, but just got rid of the watermark for my own personal purposes.)

(In reverse image search, when google hits a dead end, tineye can find the larger image, and vice versa. Also for some reason a slightly different version of the image gives a bunch of results, while another gives 0.)
Here's the main reason people erase watermarks - not because they want to steal, but because they want to enjoy it (or let others enjoy it) without any markings on it.
As for the people who don't even see the artist signature, they are the ones who need to learn to pay proper attention to the picture.
-When reposting these kinds of art, one should always mention the author too, but the people can't see it when it's right there on the piece have no excuse.
If everyon is inflicted with marks in the middle of the picture because of that (or because of art thieves), that's a horrible trend. It ruins the impression, because art is made by drawing upon universal aesthetic/spiritual ideals. And the product is a piece that is therefore universally relevant, and speaks to something we all share.
And an artist name right in the middle of it, like 'DIS IS MINE', is looking like they're trying to claim ownership of things that can't be owned (even when they don't mean it that way).
