MemberI really have nothing against people editing/coloring other artist's pictures, but when done unofficially, I don't feel that adding a watermark on top of the picture is something respectful to be doing on original artist, almost to be claiming the whole picture as yours

MemberBut it includes the information of the original artist, they are not claiming they did it, just the color... this is way more respectful than people just re-uploading art without mentioning the artist on social media.

MemberThe text linked to his Tumblr, eh, I'm neutral about it. That's not what I am taking about but the actual watermark on the top left corner that doesn't give any info at all and is just there as a brand sticker as if he's now claiming the picture
