Art Credit Request Button

Posted 4 years, 22 days ago by Honeymilk-k

I’ve noticed a lot that when characters are sold the toyhouse profile will be changed or redone completely. When this happens I’ve seen that art pieces that had been credited before become unknown, and sometimes the owner of the character is too busy or doesn’t want to go through the effort of re-crediting artists for their pieces. If there was a button to request the art piece to be credited to you that would be extremely helpful, and cut out a lot of the hassle for the owner of the oc. This has happened to me a few times, and it’s a little frustrating when the oc owner says they will provide credit, but then they never get around to it.

I am usually pretty good about it but sometimes i miss them and instead of the person having to literally ask me to change it please if you could request it that would be awesome.

I sell designs on other platforms and sometimes characters are uploaded creditting the other accounts, while I would prefer to be creditted with my TH. But it's always kinda awkward to ask in the comments, especially if the character has since been passed around to different people. A way to easily request credit would be super nice!

I'd love this feature TBH. I have a few characters with uncredited pieces that I really cannot find the artists to and the artist identification thread tends to come up bust for me.

in a perfect world this would work very well, but is also grounds for art theft en masse. consider someone claiming art pieces from someone outside of th, the actual artist might never know unless it was found out. it's too easy to make up a lie, you know? while it IS the responsibility of the owner to credit all art, its not their responsibility to do a full blown investigation on someone who claims the art is theirs, which could be confusing for multiple parties and cause conflict. either know who drew it & credit it or dont upload it ykwim..

+1 yes I agree especially if you get lots of art from one creator and they suddenly make a th and you have like 30+ arts from them 0.0

So I’ve been keeping my eyes on this and people say “oh just know who made it or don’t upload” we know who made it but if they didn’t make it known they have a th or they suddenly get a th they could claim their art. 


As for art theft issues, “huh *random user* is trying to claim this? I credited an Insta let me go ask them”  “hello *user on insta* is this your th?” If they say no block and report the th user for attempted art theft. Like th has so many safety measures in place. I still personally feel like adding art claim will be highly beneficial
