I love your art, it's gorgeous. But I think if you have one major weakness it's that you're much too nice! I just watched you thank and apologize to the person who removed your watermarks! You should have ripped them a new one!
Hehe, thank you!
I thanked that person for coming forward and telling me why they did what they did and I did apologize for any overly negative comments they may have received, if any. But, I’ll be honest to say I’m not sorry for bringing more attention to the post and possibly causing some folks to go make mention of my disapproval for it.
I don’t want to be rude in my response, even though I did not approve of them doing that and it does make me quite upset. And I do sincerely appreciate that person coming to me in any form and giving their word on the matter, rather than simply ignore. But I think one or two folks can agree when I say that what they did was wrong, and I definitely don’t apologize for calling out more attention to it. :)

This guy! <3
Hai! Um, I feel kinda shy that I'm even trying to talk to you, your drawings inspire me! :D I was wondering if you could kinda help with my body postures? Your drawings look so cartoony and cool....

Heya!
No need to be shy with me! I’m super shy myself in person, but am insanely flattered you’d want to say something to me (let alone to be an inspiration)! :)
Apologies I can’t do a more current picture that may help explain how I usually draw my bodies (I feel I’ve been having bad art mojo these days cause of sickness, hehe), but this particular post I made a while back still applies to what I do! Hope it can possibly be of help! <3
WHY IS EVERYBODY TALKING ABOUT WATER MARKS? PEOPLE AND ORLANDO, I HONESTLY HAVE NO IDEA WHY YOU GUYS ARE TALKING ABOUT THIS! Maybe its just me, but lines and marks don't really change anything in my perspective. But what's the point? Aren't these just an art style? Don't a lot of other people on Tumblr also do water marks? So out of all those other people, why shoot so many hard questions on Orlando? She probably busy doing homework. WHY PEOPLE I'M SO CONFUSED?

Hehe, this is mainly from an earlier instance of someone removing the watermarks from one of my art pieces. They’re pretty much artists’ signatures! I was just mainly mentioning that I don’t approve of that sort of thing being done to my work, more so if it gets posted somewhere.
(And no homework here, haha! Winter break’s upon us! <3)
Who is your favorite newcomer in ssb4
I’ve really enjoyed playing Duck Hunt and the Koopalings more and more (specifically Bowser Jr. and Roy)!
I still need to learn how to actually fight successfully with ‘em, but gosh are they fun! <3
Hi. I'm the guy who removed the watermarks on that 5N@F fanart you did and I want to clear some things up. Firstly, I didn't do it to "steal" your work. Nor did I do it to provide others with a clean version of your picture. I didn't do it out of spite towards you or your followers. I did it to see if I could remove the watermarks, as a technical exercise. Also because IMO the amount of watermarks was obnoxious and I wanted to take a jab at it. Also just for the laughs. Hope this cleared it up.

Heya.
I didn’t say that you were ‘stealing’ my work. (Any mention I may have made beforehand about removing watermarks and possibility of having your work stolen was being said in general terms, but wasn’t directed at you, as you weren’t taking credit for it or anything like that).
While I’m glad my picture could’ve served as exercise for you, I still didn’t really appreciate that being done. Yes, the amount of watermarks could have been seen as excessive. But they were there for a reason, mainly because of previous events occurring.
It more so got to me a bit because you removed not only the watermarks, but my smaller signature in the upper left hand corner. If you at least kept one of my watermarks/signatures up there, I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t have minded as much. But removing all of my forms of art credit did rub off on me the wrong way.
I do thank you coming here and wanting to have your say in this. My apologies if there was any negative things said towards you if folks on 4chan were making mention of it. Wasn’t my intention to cause trouble for anyone, but all the same, I just really don’t appreciate that with any of my art. <:)
To The question that you answered [That you will give someone who asks a clearer shot of a image ] I used The Show Must Go On picture as my wallpaper, and to be honest the watermarks are not annoying... but I did have quite the time trying to make a profile picture out of it lol. I took Toy Bonnie out of it and made a pretty Bad*** profile pic...if u want to see it I would be glad to show u XD

Aww, hehe, am flattered by that, thank you!
And happy to hear you think that about them! I did try to make the watermarks noticeable, but not so ‘bright’ over the picture.
If you’d like to, sure! c: (Though it seems fan mail allows folks to send links, rather than asks, hehe!)
Completely random question but do you ever think about creating a Koopasona?
Anonymous
Hehe, that thought’s never crossed my mind! As much as I love Koopas (Bowser is my favorite Mario character), I’m not that committed to it!
Plus, I already have, like, two personal characters for two different fandoms! That’s more than enough for me in my book! :’D
ER, NO, scratch that! Technically three! I kinda almost forgot about pony fandom. :’D
Same 4-chan-hating anon here. Last message on the topic lest you think I'm dragging this out. But I REALLY do think you're looking at this wrong. Why would someone crop your image? To hide the watermark, OR to get the picture they want. If they're trying to remove watermarks, THEY WILL WIN. Ignore those losers. More interesting is the latter: people wanting close-ups or transparencies or gifs. Why not upload and link just a few alternate crops of your great art, with resized copyright to match?

Honestly, both. There has been instances before where someone has intentionally cropped an image of mine to pass of a character featured in it as their own, as well as the art itself. Sure, more times than not it is to get the face of the main subject of the picture.
If you proceed to do that when using it as an icon, banner, or something along those lines on a website, I’m completely fine with that as long as there’s credit somewhere on your profile stating who’s done it. That, I’m most appreciative about. But if you proceed to upload a full photo of mine somewhere, I would appreciate it being left as is. I don’t think to post different files/cropped images of the same general picture, as people tend to do that automatically themselves when using it as an avatar somewhere. And I’d find it pretty presumptuous of me to think anyone would automatically want to use my art for something simple like that. Plus, more times than not, a person’s more likely to see the full/’original’ image of a picture, rather than the cropped versions of it, if they find it randomly online. Would prooobably be no point to it, heh!
Still, regardless of the person on 4chan proceeding to remove my watermarks/signatures on my picture to apparently benefit others in getting the cleaner file, it is still disrespectful to do to an artist. An artists signature is there for a reason.
Yes, I’m aware that the folks on there (or heck, anywhere else) could care less about that. That’s just some peoples’ way of thinking.
Since no one’s claiming they made the picture, putting their own sort of logo/signature on the picture or anything like that, I have been ignoring it. But it still does not make it right.
Just my opinion on the matter.
But I do appreciate your thought on submitting alternative crops of some kind. Thank you. :)
