it took me a while to realize the one on the left does in fact have arms 🤣
edit: following!
I wonder who the single downvote was…
Ehh, my content is pretty divisive. It seems like 3d renders into comic form isn’t that popular, even more when going for a pseudo anime look, so I do get downvotes
Although I don’t mind criticism!
It’s because of Beep who has been going out of their way to remove credits from comics, wasting their time and everyone else’s time
Wonder no more

Downvotes are public? Neat.
You can view votes for any post or comment at https://lemvotes.org/
There’s some user on here who likes to occasionally make 6-10 throwaway accounts at a time and go through all my stuff to downvote everything. As if karma means anything on this platform.
I don’t even know if lemmy got a karma counter (I use eternity as a client).
But one thing for sure, downvotes aren’t going to make me go away. I do art because I like it. Not for clout.
(But platforms that makes it hard to post do drive me away cough Pixiv tagging system cough)
And if you moderate a community you can just click (in the default web UI, anyway) “view votes” to see whodunnit. You don’t even need an external tool. It’s good for finding downvote brigade people and so forth.
Man, that is giant ass watermark. Something like 20% of the photo.
Wow, just wow.
Edit 1: here is a cleaner version without ads:

Titles on comics bother you now too?
100% comic. That’s it. No compromises.
Why stop there? Take everything away.

I know people have been trying to reason with you no avail.
Here’s my argument, stripping away the artist’s credit make you no better than AI. Take away the human behind the art and it might as well be ai slop.
Yes there should probably be a standard way posters attribute artists. So set the example you want to see. I agree, it is a lot nicer to read comics without the soid white borders filled with names, facebook logos and other crap.
If you want to crop panels to just be the comic, fine - but please at least put the artist name in the post description (which you do for some, so thank you for those) or better yet, just include both versions. You could put the original version under a spoiler so people aren’t forcibly advertised to, but if they want to find the artist they easily can, with out having to do a reverse image search.
I enjoy many of the comics you share and appreciate your active contribution to the community, but please recgonize by refusing to compromise on this you are becoming a negative presence here and only getting your self put on people’s individual ban-lists. All we ask is that you consistently attribute the artists in some fashion.
First of all, upvote for your reason and logic.
Second of all, no one is going to remove their blocks and bans, and that is better for me. Less negativity and more mature experience in terms of interactions.
About your sugesstion, I would try to do it from now on. I would leave a link to the source.
That’s a pretty shitty thing to do
Imagine letting people know “hey if you enjoy this and want more content by this artist you can find them and their comic here!”
Imagine being a bitch and removing that
Hey I find the watermark on top of your comment distracting please remove it
That sounds so hard for you.
