I have this problem with my artwork, many people are kind enough to link my deviantart or reblog from me, but I don't understand the point of making a post with my art when I already have it posted and it's simpler to reblog? My friend is constantly telling me he is finding my artwork from all different sources that are not me, and if it's not even tagged properly it's hard for me to catch people sometimes.

And this isn't graphics or gifs, it's my artwork, my drawings, and I need people to know where my blogs are because the more exposure I get the more commissions I get. I rely on that exposure to help me make a living.

Even if my signature is very clear (I started printing out my name a while ago so that you can read my signature) I tend to get a lot more new followers if people reblog directly from me.

It's like come on guys, it's not that hard, just reblog and you don't even have to put in a credit link because it's automatically there for you.

besides a signature put the name of your tumblr

my-tumblr | tumblr

somewhere that isn't easy to crop out or erase to get more hits on your tumblr

but yeah, this is all ridiculous and you shouldn't have to resort to desperate measures

it's like deviantART theft made 1000 times easier thanks to the format of the site orz

Yeah I used to watermark but I stopped because I don't like the ascetics of watermarks and actually if you google my name, you can very easily find me. I may need to start watermarking again though.

I wish I could put a clickable link on all my images because I think that would be the only thing that would truly solve it.

I think you can if you make the images clickable links in a "text" post, if I remember right, but it's more of a hassle to upload them that way. (The method I've seen is: upload each as images, viewable only to you, then check your tumblelog to see their url and use that to insert them in a text post. I don't know if that's what everyone does. It was too time-consuming, compared to how quick it is to post things on tumblr!)

you meant this: "Aesthetics" not ascetics. right?

"Aesthetics (also spelled æsthetics) is a branch of philosophy dealing with the nature of beauty, art, and taste, with the creation and appreciation of beauty."

Ascetics = "a person who dedicates his or her life to a pursuit of contemplative ideals and practices extreme self-denial or self-mortification for religious reasons."

definitions courtesy of Dictionary dot com.

I said ascetics, I meant ascetics. Yeah I'm sick of those uppity watermarks and their self-denial. WHAT'S UP NOW?????!!!!

Could you do something like put your name as a sort of copyright acknowledgment at the bottom of the image? I don't know if that's as secure as a watermark (might be easier to crop it out, though it would pretty much require intentional deceptiveness to do so), but I see this a lot, and I think it's a little less obtrusive than a watermark.

That is insane, I'm sorry you have to deal with all of that. I know when unsourced stuff comes up on my dash, I always try and hunt down a link to the original and add it to the post.
I've seen so many resources for people looking for a source for fanart and stuff, and yet people still insist on not crediting.

What irritates me more is when people put their own urls over other people's artwork. I don't see it very often but earlier today I saw someone post a comic and the url was for "something.memebase.com" and I was just irritated. I know sites like memebase watermark everything but that is not their artwork.

and the worst is that if people are reblogging that post from other people who didn't add the source, then very few people will find out the original author -- just the ones that reblogged from you and the ones that reblog from them will. :(

tumblr reblogging branches in a very unintuitive way and the site's navigation doesn't reflect this at all, WHICH PISSES ME OFF SO MUCH
