Ok, I hate 4chan, but the reason they wiped your watermarks is twofold: 1) Someone wanted it as their background, and 2) It had 4(!) watermarks in places that made the pic look ugly. I'd say take 1) as a compliment and 2) as a lesson - don't use huge watermarks in future unless you're selling the art. Instead, keep a single subtle copyright. Most folks won't mind that, and those who do will edit the picture anyway. If the $$$ of EA, Sony, etc. can't protect from pirates, what chance do we have?

Hehe, I noticed that in the comments! Understandable to move the bigger watermarks if that seemed to be the case, but would’ve appreciated them at least keeping the significantly smaller signature I do tend to put int eh corner of my images and away from the more main focus in my pictures. I do still like keeping my art credits somewhere. XD

But I do find myself needing to put an actual watermark somewhere around the faces of my FNAF images, as some folks have been reposting my art cropped, so my smaller signature was pretty much for not. Sure, a very small part of me feels somewhat flattered that anyone would go through efforts to get a more cleaner version of the picture, but if they perhaps contacted me personally and asked for a clearer shot to use as their wallpaper somewhere, I wouldn’t have minded removing the excess watermark symbols around the faces and sending it to them.

Just attempts to at least let it be known to folks who the artist of the image is. Could be seen as pointless in the end of the day, but I still think it’s worth a shot. :)
