It just came to my attention lately, that some people whose name I will not mention, went on a fit about the concept of "Sharing", especially on Deviant Art. This already happened in the past and caused a lot of embarassment, so I think I should make it clear to avoid confusion in the future.
Deviant Art's "Sharing" feature consists of several buttons on the top right of your submission, allowing people to click on them and share your pieces via Note, Facebook, Tumblr, Tweeter and so on. When a fan clicks one of them, your pieces will be "featured" on their respective page, with a link to the original automatically provided AND embled in the piece itself. This is called REBLOG. Note that the new post on their page is still linked to the original piece, so any change you make on it will also be applied to the linked post. For example, you decide to put watermark on, it will also appear on the other posts, or it you disable the Sharing buttons, the posts on other sites will also vanish.
On the other hand, if someone downloads your pieces, and then posts it to their pages, then even when they put a link on the piece, it won't have the link embled to it, and this is called REPOST. In this case, any change on the original won't appear on the reposted piece, since it's a separate, independent copy.
I know a person who loves to put things from DA onto their Tumblr. In the past they also had a reputation for reposting. But since a lot of artists complained, they had switched to reblog instead. This doesn't make people any happier, since those "accursed" buttons are still there as DA's default feature, allowing that person to share the art.
I want to make this perfectly clear to everyone, fans and artists alike, so they won't be upset when they see a piece they recognize on that person's blog, or anyone else's for that matter. Know that I'm against repost with a passion, but I also don't want to accuse someone of something they weren't aware about.
Bottom line, if you want people to share your art the legal way, you can leave those buttons on. If not, follow the instruction provided here
to turn them off. That way you'll know for sure if your work is reposted or reblogged.
If you want to accuse someone of something, you need to at least have a proper knowledge and leverage about the matter, right?

Coronavirus PSA
To all my friends on the internet out there. This outbreak is a real threat. Please, for your loved ones’ sake and your own, do not dismiss its information around you. There are fake news and misleading info, but you have to take it all in and sieve it. Here are some things I highly recommend: - This virus can lay dormant in a host for up to 14 days. During that time, the infected person can already transmit it to others. https://www.who.int/news-room/q-a-detail/q-a-coronaviruses - It’s weaker when temperature is above 25 degree Celsius. Keep your surrounding ventilate and warm (it can still feed off from your cells when infected, though) https://www.scmp.com/news/china/science/article/3074131/coronavirus-highly-sensitive-high-temperatures-dont-bank-summer - But, with low temperature, it can survive for days on a surface. https://www.sciencealert.com/study-shows-just-how-long-coronaviruses-can-stick-around-on-a-surface - Your government WILL lie to you to keep you from panicking. I’m
What's going on...
Wow... look at all these spider web. Have I been gone for that long?
For a while this place was my haven, my safe place to be when I'm down and need someone to keep me company with my interest. You guys were the best, and some of you still are to this day, even when I barely communicate.
And then there's the Purge. What we had, what we made, what we share in need of comfort... gone. Like we don't even matter.
This place was no longer my haven.
I started drifting away to Tumblr, only to see history repeated itself again. I need what we had here, and I know some of you need it as well, but... they don't need us. They have no interest in us.
In and out...
First and foremost, I thank you from the bottom of my heart, for all those birthday wishes. You guys are the third best thing that happened to me on this day, right after my family and my partner.
I didn’t even realize that after such a long time of inactivity, an eternity of not posting, and practically fading out from the internet, you guys still remember this wacky amateur. I was ready to post a journal about me fading away, to remove myself from the net altogether, but then you guys go and did this.
You know what I did on my birthday? I got work. I got flights at 01:00 in the morning and finish at 05:00, went home and crash until

Yes, I'm with you all the way on this matter. If I was going to share a artists drawing, or feature it in my journal, I ask them permission first. The reason why I would feature someone, is to help them get better recognition , where I make sure that artist is properly being credited for their original works here on deviantArt.
