Description
EDIT: Better. *sigh*The speedpaint has been taken off public listings because it still includes the original image with the blood. However you can still watch it here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GGix8…
Just don't complain to me about the whole self-harm topic please, because as you can see I've already edited the main post.
When you steal an OC, you're not just copying an artwork and/or bio claiming it as your own. You're taking advantage of hours and weeks and months the original creator had spent perfecting their own skills as an artist and writer, working to produce a character people can enjoy and they can be proud of. Stealing art and others' original characters is extremely lazy and only causes harm. Artists don't spend all this time on perfecting their OCs just to have someone copy+paste it on their own account and claim all that work as their own.
Stop art and OC theft.
#WeAreTheArtists
Inspired by this piece and those of all the wonderful artists involved spreading this trend
Well this certainly took me long enough. But y'know me perfectionist as ever.
I decided to use Revolution for this since she was one of the OCs stolen (as well as her comic) and tbh this type of scene fits her character the best.

This is amazing. If I had a drawing tablet, I'd draw one of my ocs, but I guess I could try it the traditional way.
You have inspired me, my friend!

This looks so great!
I think it spreads the message perfectly.
TBH...I was actually thinking of doing something with Echo in promotion of this too.
I couldn't agree more with how wrong art theft of an OC is - and I am more than willing to join the cause. #WeAreTheArtists

I'm planning on doing something like this with my OC Lily; but instead of carving or writing it on herself, she draws it on a wall
(stereotypical childish antics on drawing on walls XD)

Though the artwork looks amazing, I'm still not sure what to think. I understand that it's painful to find someone claiming that what you've worked hours on is theirs. I know how it feels to spend a lot of time trying to make your OC perfect. I spent months working on Crystalline, and I'm still working on her design. I've begun working on her since 2015. If someone took everything I've worked on, then I would be pretty upset. It's painful! But I don't like the idea of self-harm, even if it was just a picture. It could lead to actual self-harm. Isn't there another way around it? Another way to how painful it is for the artist without using the idea of self-harming?

It wasn't meant to be self-harm in the first place. It was meant to send a message that it is painful to have your OC taken. Some people took it literally because they didn't read the description.

But I did read the description!

But I'm not saying you didn't. D: I'm saying that about others who don't.

Tbh the idea of self-harming never really crossed my mind, but I do completely understand where you're coming from.
The issue's been bugging me ever since the topic came up last night so I plan to edit it so it no longer conveys that message.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The idea of self-harming never crossed my mind once either. I know you didn't mean to send the wrong message, but I'm worried that some artist might take things to the next level.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I understand.
Also, thank you for being so calm and understanding about pointing this out, as a lot a people haven't been.

It was just my opinion. No reason to be upset about anything. So you're welcome. ^^

It's really nice to see the lovely Rev in here too, and I look forward to watching that speedpaint when I get home ^u^

I'm happy to join the Resistance. ^^
Though I'm a bit frustrated how the meaning has been misinterpreted by some people. :/
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes I feel the same way, they have valid points, granted, but the fact that some of them (not all) are acting as if that was the intention the whole time, to glorify that shit... that's really angering...

Love it! I didn't have any OCs stolen, but I kind of want to add a piece to this movement...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You should! A lot of the other contributors didn't have stolen OCs either.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmm... The only thing is I don't really have any Transformers OCs. I mostly just do humanized versions of preexisting characters. But I'd like to find some way to support the message that's being put out there in these pictures.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh that's perfectly fine. I'm pretty sure there's at least one or two pics already up of non-Transformer OCs.

Sweet. Guess I know what my project for today is!

My guess just true sis! that you would choose her....
I'm a bit doubt if this would be Prophet too, but between them only.
anyways awesome job on this sis!

Rev and Prophet are my main two! 
Thanks a bunch!

Aw and they are awesome! and yes I think so X3
Maxi once has been stolen too in the past, with a few other people OC.
well it was an old art and they changing bio ect..
but in a different site.just glad that they took all of them down not for long.
and no problem sis
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I hate when OCs are stolen. Especially when it's on a different site when it's a lot harder to figure out they were ever stolen at all. :/
But it's good when they apologize and take it down quickly as well.

So sad too
yes and oh... also google+ too, I'm tired to see that.
True
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I've heard Amino and Google+ are the worst places as far as OC theft.
*many hugs*

Yes.. they still took mine even with water-mark imagine that... lol omg I have no words
but no worries sis! put all water-mark so at least they won't take our arts. I know somewhat it looks ugly but it's better than getting hurt.never forget that
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Exactly. When they took Rev I was really surprised to see that because she has 3 water marks on her ref. xD
And agreed. x3
