@_Coffee-
OH SH1T WHAT

@Unaone @-Howl- @Autumn_fall @O_Choccy_Milk @_CASSETT3G1RLL

@CrimsonCarnival
what category is it in?
sorry for the questions

what the HELL??

@_Coffee- just search my username here,youll find some
or another colors artist user
i found reuploaded colors art by searching generic terms like pokemon names (lots of fanart especially has beeb targeted)

Wth?!
I'll look now and inform the users

WOW

@census-bureau yup
toyhou.se is getting targeted even worse which is scarier bcs i have a maturity block on

what about me (seems unlikely they will put my art)

WTH????
THATS NUTZ?????
im currently trying to see if something of mine is there but i can't find the right site

ugh i was worried something like this would happen at some point

i watermark my art but it's hard to see :/

@census-bureau yeah i am, its a process to figure out whos art is whos since there isnt credit obviously
which is funny bcs it says "from colors live"

@-_Stolas_- yes and people who have made art and tagged a "popular artist'' in the description some of the art people made me was showing up

WHAT THAT'S HAPPENING NOW?

(i forgot that my watermark's easy to see i think)

@sleepystrutter your drawing of juni is on there :/

I cant find it

@__ALPHA__ not really a tagline other than something about selling posters. theres also an option to the left to change the currency your viewing prices in and close to that is the search bar
i had to acess the site thru a link on TH
if i can post the link i'll try

EDIT:
theres a lot of similar websites, if i can post the link i will tomorrow (assuming filters dont block it)

Aw Hell to the NO-

Hell

NO

HELL NO-

@CrimsonCarnival NOOOOOOOO
WHYYYYYY THEY NEED TO TAKE THAT DOWN RN :angry: :angry: :angry:

WHAT?!

If you do get a link up, lmk.

god damn :skull: this sucks... im sadly not that surprised this has happened but, i just hope something can be done about it. if u can give a link to the site that would be great, i want to search myself up on there when i get the chance

No. freaking way.

Why can't writers AND artists be left alone and sell their own art when and how they choose?? This is illegal and an invasion, not to mention without consent towards the artist. And the money isn't even going TO them! Just to the website devs' pockets! Smh....

My art is too trashy to be stolen, but this is still pretty dang scary-
And pretty messed up

OH GOD
IS MY ART ON THERE????

@ImProLol768

whats the exact like ,,, name 4 the website ? [ there r tons of websites called artwise ,,, ]
i rlly hope my art isnt there as im pretty " big " on colors but idk if theyre doing it based on follows ,,,
this is rlly awful im sorry ur arts there :-[
[ ,, praying my art isnt there since i have a th as well ,, ]

How can I see if my art is on Artwise?
Does this website sell posters? Just trying to make sure I'm on the right one.

I really hope my art isnt on there, I would be so p!ssed if that were the case

also how much are they selling them for ?? /genq cuz like ??????? :skull:

@-zyik- this is important

is my art on there??

Oml, nooooo! :0
This is horrible! :sob: :sob:

This isn't ok at all :anger:

NO ES HORRIBLE :sob:

:worried: @O_Choccy_Milk

@O_Choccy_Milk

@O_Choccy_Milk
i fr have to start watermarking too :disappointed:

/p

@O_Choccy_Milk
Real, But It has to be done :l

I haven't been posting as much, but has any of my art been used? :/

My art is too bad to be sold.
BUT ART STEALING NEEDS TO STOP!!! >:(

@Kurumiiii IM SAFE RIGHT CUZ MY ART ISN'T THAT GOOD!?!?

Timeto paste a giant NOT URS ARTWISE on my art

Oh, thats seriously messed up, i never water mark :open_mouth: well guess ima start doin it

HERE IS THAT WEBSITE
https://artwisher.com/

everyone who wants to see the website
@wolfyyy @auntumn_fall @b4ggy_j34ns @catpng @nonvluna @ImProLol768 @O_Choccy_Milk @AppleChan_ @_Coffee- @Dragon_n00dle @Meowy_a_Meowdracorn @_X0NA_ @-f0ki-101- @Elininjakat @CrystallizedDusk

can u see if my art is on their cause the link wont work

@wolfyy is it saying "error found" when you search? I'm getting that now too
you also need to be more specific. if you want to , search my user

im fine without seeing it..

@nonvluna yeah its.. oof
@meowy_a_meowadracorn i can try, the website is blocking from me searching now

it'll just make me uncunfterbul

ok ill try that link

ANOTHER EDIT:
people on toyhou.se forums are advising you not to search. not only is the website somehow blocking people from searching, but searching can put you in the algorithm somehow. i can't even search in a private browser mode atm. if you want what screenshots i have i will email them to people interested
i am now not having luck searching, even for myself. people are also finding more websites like this one (likely spin offs) but there are also a lot of people working to get it banned, so hopefully it isn't to long

what happens if i search it?

O.o
thats....

like, if Artwise ASKED the peeps they are taking from AND if users here said its ok, that be one thing..
but colors users probs dont find out untill their art already on there..

ooof.
gonna keep an eye this. if you see more people whos art been taken ill try to tell them as well..

@shinecat thats why i made this post, artwish of whatever they're calling the website is taking art without permission and selling it
a lot of colors users don't have access to even search the website. now I'm blocked from searching even on a private browser R I P . but yeah keeping on eye on it if you can search would help
ill make more updates as i get them from the TH thread

@CrimsonCarnival what are some things you looked up that made you see the stolen art?

i'm just trying to have a look myself

No! thats terrible!!! :cry:

Where can I find this website?

@Meganekko_ my user, some pokemon like eeveelutions, ssharkteeth also brings up a lot of colors artists

@_-Lemonzz-_ check above i commented the link

@O_Choccy_Milk check above i commented the website

could you send me a screenshot of the site? /nf

@b4ggy_j34ns sure ill email you rn

i need to go see this

I'd be happy if someone considered my art good enough to "steal".
My outlook on art is that it belongs just as much to you guys as it does mine, I wouldn't advise using my art as a reference because I suck at anatomy.
But I don't plan on making a profit on my art anyway.

I know this is an unusual take, but I don't think it's wrong for me to have.

If I am to make a profit from my art, I want it to be a choice people make to support me.

Although, I wouldn't want others taking copywrite ownership over my own work, as it belongs to me, my characters are a part of my soul, and I would hope that nobody would take that away from me.
But making a profit off of my work?
If people are willing to pay for my art, that means I have already won as an artist, as my job is to inspire. :peace:

@AnArtistNamedStar thats fair, my problem is its a scam website selling peoples art without permission rip

Them mud scuffing rats stealing are art!??!??

I just tried to search it again and it comes up with blank boxes instead of the art so i think theyve block me from the website :grimacing:

@-zyik-

ITS HAPPENING AGAIN

Can i spread awareness?

wait is there any of mine??

go to my main cuz no way this has been on it (made this yesterday) @poeticore is my main btw

Unfortunately there isnt that much we can do about art uploaded outside of Colors.

@-zyik- ):

BRO ARE THAY SELLING MY SXXT ON THERE

@i-haunt-ur-dreams

OMG THIS GOT SO BAD -zyik- IS INVOLVED!!!!!

Iv known abt this from before i even had a colors acc, but is my art on there??
