The Archfae my players met this last session. It will be interesting as one of them continues down the path of Warlock to see how their relationship (if you can call it that) progresses

Good picture for time before!!! @lunargent-thorn

Hey, I don’t know how to say this without sounding like a total ass but if you want art of a character you should find an artist to commission something original and not take an existing artist’s personal work.

There is a plethora free resources out there and people who make art that is free for use. This is not one of them. This is not fanart. This is an original character of mine and I do not give permission for my personal work to be used by others for any reason.

It may seem silly that something as simple as this would send me into a rage but please understand that any art I make is the product of years of hard work and life experiences. When someone takes art of original content and makes it ‘theirs’ it feels very much that, as an artist, I am simply viewed as some product producing factory and not a person who created something.

I’m posting this publicly so that others can see and understand where I’m coming from and not to blast or shame. I don’t want to have to continue to repeat myself in the future when someone else inevitably decides that my art somehow belongs to them. I’m not interested in dogpiling but please learn from this and know that it is not okay to take someone’s original content for personal use.
