Oh no no, hehe, I understood your point there!

I’m also pretty dumbfounded by that as well. If anything, I’m joyful if I happen to see a signature/watermark on a piece of art, so I can trace back to the artist and possibly see more of their work! (Heck, that’s how I found out about lot of folks here on Tumblr. Praise FNAF for leading me to many more folks with such quality and talent! <3)

But it really does strike me as disrespectful for any artist. As much as I enjoy seeing full detail of a picture without any sort of watermark over it, it’s actually more relieving to me that there is some form of artist credit on a piece. People out there can be butts and try to steal your art. Or, at the very least, folks spread your art around and no one will know who/where the original artist is, (This, I don’t see much fault in a person in, as there are many instances they themselves may not know where the art came from and would be curious to find out as well. But, still! <:) )

I just really don’t enjoy seeing this sort of thing happening to someone, especially if folks seem to give your work a lot of positive feedback. Artists (of any form) deserve to be recognized for their work and efforts.

I apologize if I seem really egotistical going on about this and making a big fuss over my stuff (as it is not my intention). I still make a lot of art that I’m not entirely satisfied with and I’m still learning many things, but I’ll be darned if I’m not proud enough of it that I would appreciate hearing feedback from folks and see what they’d have to say about my work. Especially given I’d like to have a career that’s based around it.
