I may be a little inactive recently. I have noticed that my art has been stolen from here onto ArtWisher, which is being sold without my consent. Due to Newgrounds being the only site they seem to come after, I probably won’t be posting much. I am very sorry for this inconvenience, but it’s something I should do to keep my work safer.
@TokyosMaddhouse if my assumption is correct, they used bots to catalog the entire database of newgrounds art. the likelihood that anyone would capitalize from your art is very minimal, and that should be the case for a huge portion of the artists affected, on the flip side - you may gain some new fans of your work that know what the situation is, like me :)
Yeah, you’re probably right. They’re just quickly scanning over any website they can at this point.
And hopefully for the second part. It’d be nice to gain a few followers :)
@TokyosMaddhouse i can say that im a fan now! i look forward to more of your cute art!
Thank you! :D

Alright. I’m just worried since this site has quickly stolen a heck ton of art from people who genuinely have no fame (like me), and apparently they have a way to keep people from getting them in trouble? Like, they block their IP address or something.
But I’m hoping I might be able to continue? I’ll try, cuz I hate leaving this place empty compared to DeviantArt.
