Description
Request I got on /mlp/ draw thread ‘bout three years ago. Just found it again pokin’ around on my Penk folder, figured I’d toss it here for posterity. It’s still quite lovely in color and mood, never got artist’s handle.

Sorry for commenting on an old image, I wanted to see if you had changed your mind about attacking a random anon dude for trying his best to upload art that no one else has and add necessary tags. Guess not. If anyone sees, we’re not all like this, I promise.
“High school logic lord,” thats a new one. Can I call yo the Necromancer since you like to start up old blood from over 2 years ago?
What does that even mean though, are you saying that having meaningful conversation is a bad thing? If the world used more logic then maybe we wouldn’t have some of the problems we do in the world?
If the artist didnt want to be associated with this then the anonymous artist tag would’ve brought a lot less confusion. However, because the artist needed tag was used instead and from the OP’s own description he stated that he never got the artist’s handle, it naturally didnt lead me to what your proposed conclusion.
Really, I think you’re kinda being a bit of a jerk by coming to a 2 year old thread and trying to talk about who’s being cringe and stating that I’m using the “artist card”.
What do you even mean by that? No credit for one’s work is a real problem and one I myself have faced before, so I know the pain. No self respecting artist would appreciate having their hard work not given due credit.
If you know who the artist is that made this then I’ll gladly like a PM with their handle so that I can follow them myself and we can drop this whole thing. I just hate seeing awesome art and not giving fellow artists the recognition for the immense amount of effort they put in their pieces. It pisses me off incredibly.
I guess you haven’t learned to stop sounding like a high school logic lord since then. The main reason I was drawn here was because I recognized the style and I know the artist wouldn’t have wanted their handle to be associated with it. In fact, that would have resulted in it being deleted with their other images here.
And images aren’t forum posts, it’s pretty common for people to just comment on whatever old image they want.
Also, you pulled the artist card 2 years ago, but really being an artist made me understand why some DON’T want attribution. Can’t assume everyone thinks the same as you.
You just responded and brought up a 2 year old comment chain to life and you want to decipher who’s being cringe?
Looking back on it, I shouldn’t have been so boisterous but the point still stands; attribution is basic human fucking decency especially when someone makes free art for a person.
You’re an artist like me and the one who made this pic so I would’ve expected you to know this basic detail.
Do me a favor and fuck off, necroing a 2 year old discussion…

So you dragged this conversation out this much because you had a problem with the way I worded my neutral response?!
Petty! So petty!
“That is not worded as advice, that is an insistence that I follow what you determine to be proper.”
There is “nothing to be determined as proper” because giving artist credit for their work IS proper!
Its basic human decency! There shouldn’t be this huge debate about this! I gave you an insistence because what you did unknowingly is wrong!
“And you out of the blue make this demand, when I merely wanted to share what I thought was nice art, rather than leave it on my HD where no one would ever see it, was quite unpleasant.”
Spare me the pity party, it wasn’t a demand. It was advice! Why do you think “Artist Needed” is color coded red?
Because its a problem!
We already understand why you don’t have the artist’s information. A silly reason but whatever. Giving me shit because I gave you advice in an urgent way is really petty!
What a waste of my time. I’m done.

Ahem. You must give credit especially if they made free art for you.
That is not worded as advice, that is an insistence that I follow what you determine to be proper. I posted this for posterity, that’s it. And you out of the blue make this demand, when I merely wanted to share what I thought was nice art, rather than leave it on my HD where no one would ever see it, was quite unpleasant. You can say you softened your approach afterward but your first impression came off as irritating. If the artist sees this here and doesn’t like it, they can take it down. There is no hissy fit, you were rude from the start and so I felt no great need to be pleasant in return. This has to be my last response because I am sorry for crapping up the comments on an image I just wanted to share with people.
They misunderstood you then, you have to specify that you mean their deviantart or tumblr instead of their actual name.
You also need to be clear in your reason that you need to properly credit them. Any artist that would still not divulge profile usernames is either really nervous which is understandable or really paranoid and foolish.
But these are very rare and unlikely, I can’t seem to remember a time when children or adults did this. Children seem to want to shove their drawings into other peoples’ faces and many adults do shameless things to get themselves out there.
“You actually don’t know what you are talking about,”
I suggest that you take a look at my profile before you try to talk to me about who knows what.
You’re right in the fact that your responsibility is to tag as best as you can but its my opportunity and right to give you advice on how to avoid doing this in future.
“And you didn’t give advice”
Ahem.
~~“This is why in future you should ask for an artist’s channel so that you can look them up in order to give them proper credit.”_
“you said it like it’s a rule I must follow,”
Look up Creative Commons Liscenses. An artist can request a site to take down artwork that the poster didn’t credit them for.
If you used it commercially without their permission and they catch wind of that you can be sued for that, I’m pretty sure.
That’s part of the reason artists sign their artwork to let people know that it was their’s in the first place ~~ not the poster’s.
It’d be impractical to go through 20k images like this one so obviously I’m not going to do that.
This is merely circumstantial. You had a hissy fit that a person gave a non-aggressive response and advice for what you did.
Currently 20061 pieces of art tagged artist needed. Sometimes, there is no source. I ask artists for a name sometimes and they do not give it, so yes there was no guarantee. You actually don’t know what you are talking about, my responsibility is not to tag an artist it’s to tag it as best I can and I did. And you didn’t give advice, you said it like it’s a rule I must follow, and if that’s the case feel free to alert the moderators to my grave transgression or kindly choose another of those 20061 images at random and piss on them instead.
“4chan posters are anonymous and even if I had asked him who he was there is no guarantee he would tell me.”
There’s no guarantee that he’ll give you a mere username for his art profile and yet he made free art for you?
Facepalm
“If you want the artist credited so badly go find him yourself”
I try not to be verbally vicious but you guys make it hard. So hard. There’s no words… no words at all to describe how stupid this statement is.
The Burden of Responsibility falls on you as the poster for submitting artwork to a site. This is common fucking sense.
If anyone ever finds out who you are I’d suggest that they don’t take any requests or commissions from you since you apparently don’t take any care to properly credit artists’ work.
“otherwise you can quite harping on me for simply wanting this image shared with other people instead of rotting unseen on my HD.”
Nobody harped on you. You got offended when I gave you advice to take the very low effort of properly getting an artist’s information in order to credit them.
I found fault in your logic and called it out then you tell me to find the artist’s myself when you were the one who was supposed to do that in the first place.
Facepalm

Impossible, it clearly says in the description that you requested artwork from them which wouldn’t have been possible if you knew they were an artist and had browsed their channel.
This is why in future you should ask for an artist’s channel so that you can look them up in order to give them proper credit.
I would if they gave their name and they didn’t.
