edit: The song is out now~ www.youtube.com/watch?v=WE6REd…
Thanks so much for stopping by~ Hope you enjoy this pic and song
Really trying to work on finishing pictures faster -sobs-
Time spent working: appx. 12 hours straight
Had to put gross watermarks cause I was told that it'd be really bad if this got stolen so yeah orz please for give the "mintea"s everywhere q q
EDIT: I changed the watermark so that it's not as distracting. I took some consideration to viewers and the previous watermark kinda ruined the whole picture so hopefully this new one is nicer haha. Sorry for all the changes to this file q u q

HAHAHA YISSS. Finally my compulsive habit of saving every website I visit is paying off! I have an un-watermarked copy of something WOOPWOOP! (Don't worry I'll keep it to myself 
But seriously that's a bit of a dick move. I'm a programmer. I publish all my work with proper documentation in case anybody wants to take any of the code I've written. What I do is the equivalent of posting all the layers from all my art (which I do anyway) and documenting them all.
I mean seriously why are you so afraid of other people using your work? I would be over the moon if somebody implemented my code into something they've made. Somebody might want to use this in a montage or youtube video or what have you. It's a great piece if work, so what if some kid reposts your work?
I mean, to be honest, I release all of my art and code anonymously nowadays. I keep copies of it and if I'm going to apply for job I can just scrape some together and send that off. It's not hard to prove you made something you actually made.
But I'm probably missing something here. What's your side of this? Why would it be "really bad"?

Pfff I'll trust you to limit it to personal use XD
I honestly don't think this is much of a "dick move". And even comparing it to a programmer's point of view doesn't really sway me from my own decision to watermark this picture.
The thing is that even if I do put a bunch of information for people to cite this work as mine if they DO intend to use this for their own work, there are still people who don't cite properly.
I'm not really afraid of people using my work. I'm moreso cautious for people to not use my work without my permission, such as re-uploading the image and claiming it as their own/recoloring a
portion/manipulating a part of the work and then claiming that since they changed a small detail that the image now belongs to them and they should take credit for the picture, etc etc. If someone
really wanted to use this picture in a montage or a youtube video, then I'd rather have them contact me about removing the watermark. The sole reason of uploading the image here is for viewing
purposes only. I tried my best not to make the watermark ugly and totally obscure the picture. I'm happy you find this piece to be impressive, but I have to argue about the importance this picture
has to me. This is something I made for my friend, and I had to rush and work over 12 hours straight with no sleep. And although I was tired, I was happy when I finished because I knew I did a good
job and I felt good about that. I worked pretty hard on it, and if anyone were to just save this picture and repost it as their own it totally robs all that work. It's an insult to just steal someone's work
like that and repost it for views. And although it'd be possible to prove that I am the original creator, I'd much rather avoid all that to begin with.
I don't watermark most of my drawings because they're either commissions that I post at much smaller resolution, or just drawings I do for fun. This picture isn't solely mine. It belongs to E2D ENT as well,
and we're treating this as sort of a commercial piece that should only be used for the album art. I'd much prefer people just contacting me to draw them something vs asking to use this picture tbh.
Thank you for that last part though, it is good to be open to different perspectives, and really thank you for taking the time to comment on my drawing q u q
