Unfortunately no. When I placed the signature on the corners of the image, or in places that were "hidden", people simply cropped or blocked them out without affecting the overall quality of the final image. And they didn't even need photoshop for that, since most phone apps can crop an image easily. I genuinely don't know why the hell people remove the artists signature when sharing stuff, but they do. And it's not something that "might happen every once in a while", it was happening several times a week. I found my work re-posted in places, sometimes with 10-20k views, or even being used to promote their pages. And all that simply didn't trace back to me. And that's really disheartning to see people surfing on your work to promote their own, while you don't get squat from it. And the vast majority of people have no idea how to reverse search images on google. And since 99% of the time, it's the JPGs that are shared, if people want to remove the signature, now they'll have to remove actual parts of the image as well. Will it solve? Of course not, since there's no way to be completely safe online, but it will certainly make harder for people to do it. Trust me, it's not something I was thrilled to do. But it came to a point where I have to protect my work.

Great job. But one thing that catches your eye is the address of the patron right in the center of the page. It is very difficult not to notice how the address is written in the center. Although I already know him. I understand that the work may be on the network and someone who sees it may want to support the author, but can it be placed in the corner at the bottom of the page? Moreover, in the set of black and white works in SFW he is centered below, which is why he does not distract from the work itself. The NSFW can be inserted in the lower side.

Thank you! Initially I thought about doing the image on Black and White only, and only color a few specific areas (lips, eyes, dress etc). But the problem was that a lot of details didn't quite work out with a higher contrast. For example her dress, the shadow areas would be a massive black area. And I worked too hard on them to ignore lol. So instead I went for more mute and desaturated colors overall, and only vivid colors on lips/dress/eyes. Which in the end worked really well. And I did include Faith on polls once or twice and she never got a lot of attention. The thing about underrated characters is that well ... that holds true for poll results as well lol. They usually don't perform very well. =D

Thanks! Funny enough I agree that some images the pantless version is more fun to watch lol

Lee

May will be here soon enough =D

Thanks so much for the rewards! Once again, I'm still stunned by the Widowmaker art. This is what kind of vibe it gives out :3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y69nZWqsCy0 Ahh love it! Pharah & Mercy art also came out super pretty. Despite me not being into the pairing, I have to say you made them look so sweet, especially Pharah. As for further suggestions, what do you think about Faith Connors from Mirrors Edge Catalyst? I think the character is too underrated for how cool she looks. There's very few art of her. Very much excited for the next month, even though I didn't vote for any of these characters, still nothing can go wrong with your top notch artworks xD

Now this is a very interesting line up! Looking forward to seeing how you handle Mulan. And with the previous poll, I didn't have any real attachment to any characters from it, so honestly... I just voted for the lady I found most attractive! 😹 Which happened to be Faye so I'm pleased! 😻 As for the rewards, oh they were glorious! Laura looked amazing and I can't deny, I really liked the pubic hair versions, the one where she still have the vest on too was especially sexy 😻😻😻😻😻 (No idea why I like bottomless more than topless 😹) Widowmaker was a real showstopper too with such glorious lighting!

Yay mulan time woohoo, can’t wait also for may for Ariel :)

Sounds like a great lineup for March. Loved the Widowmaker and Iris set this month Krys. Widowmaker was the real standout for me this time though. Thanks for all the artworks.
