I saw this repost earlier today and it shattered my heart. 

Wonder how long it will take for some champion anon to chime in with “well you should be lucky anyone even cares about ur art” or “its on the internet so it’ll be reposted, deal with it”.

No.

There is no excuse for reposting art and it is perfectly reasonable for an artist to want credit, whether they draw fanart, sketches, official art, commercial art, art you like, art you don’t like, photos, cosplay, writing, literally anything. 

Stop reposting art, please.

I am begging you. Stop.

Seriously. For most artists, posting their art online leads to freelance opportunities. If you don’t credit the artist how are they supposed to get those opportunities to further develop their art and make money.

Plus I don’t know if this is the case with every artist but most artists like to see the feedback their getting for their art whether it’s positive or a critique. And they enjoy getting acknowledged for the hard work they’ve put into that piece.

Please always tag any art you post!

Don’t just tag it though actually source it in the post description.

Tagging works for the original post itself, but once anyone happens to reblog it, they’re not going to see the tag unless they put it there themself

Honestly don’t even repost art?? Especially on tumblr where you can just reblog from the source. It’s unnecessary, and doesn’t really do the artist as much justice as even sourcing it would do.

DON’T. REPOST. ART.
