suggestion for usage of bases

Posted 3 years, 8 months ago (Edited 3 years, 8 months ago) by smooshkin

I have many users tagging me as the artist on designs they used my bases for, putting their derivative work in my art tab. I have over 30 pages of art in there that is not technically mine, nor does it always represent even remotely the nature or quality of my work and I would like to see either a new credit tab for base artists to be put that does not put the art into their art tab-- or some new "derivative art" ab or something so that my art tab can remain my own art.

Thanks for considering, idk how many people this affects, but I had to spend several hours cleaning up the credit on them all and I am still not even done. I had to get help from a friend to account share just to remove all the credits.

Edit: I also feel like there should be a differentiation between being marked as the creater of a character, or only it's species. I have also many characters in my "designs" tab that I did not design!! But I cannot change those easily at all. I would have to individually change the ownership on hundreds of people's characters. It's very overwhelming..

The way TH worded the rule, Im not sure which is correct

4.5 Usage of Bases

When using bases or free lines, please add the credit for the base artist in the image description. This credit must include a complete link back to where you obtained the base.

I honestly cant tell if they mean "put the artists name in the description and the direct link in the credit" or "put the link in the description and the artist in the credit tab like you'd normally do" or even "credit to yourself but link the base in the description". The focus othe the first paragraph says to put it in the image description so????
