You remember that post about the homestuck t-shirt design contest collaborating with hot topic? And how Hot Topic are the biggest art thieves?  This is recent.  As you can see above, I stumbled upon Hot Topic’s website and they are selling a very popular fan art put on a t-shirt, and did not ask permission from the original artist (rismo).

This shows Hot Topic still continues their art thievery.  Hot Topic are still taking art from artists without their permission.  This is disrespectful and appalling.

EXCEPT YOU DID GIVE THEM YOUR PERMISSION.

BY AGREEING TO TERMS AND CONDITIONS ON DEVIANT ART.

THEY SOLD IT TO A THIRD PARTY ROYALTY-FREE.

woah oops deleting my deviantart account

*instantly puts logo on my best pictures*

I’m already watermarking my pictures but I’ll make double-sure to keep doing it in the future x_x
(not that my art is good enough for that YET but still, I don’t earn shit with it and if someone would I’d be barking mad)

Are you fucking kiddin me deviantArt? O_O Reblogging for all DA users! Super important!!!

deviantART is the polar opposite of what any professional or aspiring professional artist should be using. Get your work off that site, now.

so uh… anyone want to recommend sites similar-ish to deviantART but not, y’know, total bullshit?

Cause even though I watermark my stuff, that’s still a major red flag and I would like to minimize the risk. =/

yea guess whos removing all of my stuff from dA!~

^^
