In response to the emo dog community question… how did you let go? Im constantly afraid my charas are gonna be taken from me if I actually start drawing what I want on the acc I followed you on! How did you deal with that? ——— i just made all my chars auth-only ! i doubt someone has all of ur oc's art saved, and even if they have the ref sheet there's not much value there if that's all they have. + regardless of how you're perceived, it'd still be a stolen character. so i don't think you have to worry about that haha. just priv the art and watermark ur refs ! i don't think someone is gonna risk jeopardising their own reputation just to be a dick and steal/revoke ur ocs. just take the leap! :) it'll all work out in the end.
