I may have been misinformed but even then I most likely would have the same opinion as I have right now on this topic. I think when it's stated that an artist puts so much time and effort into making a personal piece for someone, but that same art piece will be deleted in the end if the artist doesn't allow it to be trade/resold/gifted, it doesn't say much about the time that was put into it when it's tossed or put away for eternity. Don't get me wrong - the time put into art is valuable. But that being said when people are unable to let someone else experience the same happiness from the art or let someone else give it new life, it will just end up being forgotten and the time would have been a "waste" (not a waste, but I don't know how to explain since English is not my main language). 

 

Yes, it's the same as a physical painting, but most of the time it doesn't sit in a storage room for all eternity. People find it one way or another and usually it wont to trashed but instead it will be resold or given away to people, who would be interested in it. At least that is my experience and what I see happening IRL a lot. 

I hope that you didn't mean to insinuate that some / you would actually delete a piece if you wouldn't be able to resell it, because you wrote it here and in a later post... 

I for example, am now using a DP that's nearly 2 years old and I'm swapping on and off to it.  

Nowadays a lot of reselling happens and I've seen it with my own eyes on multiple servers. It's hard to determine wether a reseller wants to sell art to provide them with a new home or to make profit from it. I can imagine a lot of artist are really wary of that. 

-

That saying, it's obvious that there's a wide arrange of opinions on the matter and that is okay. I think it's good that @Alismora brought it up for those that might have been bothered by the subject in question.  So yes I'd say do not hesitate to share your opinion in any way because it's helpful for all of us!This will help me broaden my perspective on the matter and perhaps find a middle-ground that works well for customers and artists. 

I'm still not entirely convinced as to why a buyer would resell an OC when you can order new pieces from them or just create a new OC. Some of my OC's are incredibly old and I've had them for a really long time and I could never sell them so my view on this is just entirely different because there's personal attachment to it that will never expire. Maybe it is an artist thing? I don't know. I really like characterdesign, so I like to draw pieces for people to sell and it means the world to me when they turn these pieces into their OC's. It means my job and passion inspires others and that is incredibly valuable to me.

I believe some artist like me state that they keep the copyright to post and share the watermarked art where they want but that you as a customer are able to use the premade, and in case of my work, turn it into an OC and may modify the OC it in any way you want.  Just no edits on the artpiece that you purchased as a customer, because that is my work.

As an artist who doesn't like reselling values the worth of a piece by craftmanship (displayed skill), originality, demand and design, but that is an entirely different subject. Reselling makes it difficult to keep track for the creator of the work like Pey and Mattie already mentioned in their posts or Arianna about trust  in regards of deletion of the first DP. And I, will be held responsiblefor putting new watermarks on and and just having faith that the first owner will delete the now resold art. Really all of this adds extra administration for the artist.

I for one thought people buy premades (at least I do.) because they like the character in the artpiece and want to turn it into an OC of their own (pre-made) or just considered it a pretty artpiece usable here on AH or on IMVU because it matches their profile or personality in one way or another. 

It just shows how much variety there is to it all. So keep the perspectives coming, thank you. 

First and foremost, I never would resell art I receive, before I purchase my art I'm already confident with that I like it in a way that I can reuse it a year later would I want to and that is now a piece or character belonging to me and only me personally.

Second, I buy art because I want to support my favorite artists and I plan long before I buy a piece from them that I want one to make sure I can afford. But that's just how I deal with buying art, I make sure that any purchase I make is worth it in my opinion because it is a personal purchase that matches me. 

For me as an artist, reselling art sounds like administration hell would many pieces be resold. It'd make me uncomfortable having to dig files up to redo the watermark and checking the price, and there's no possible proof that the reseller will destroy the watermarked art they've been given in the first place. 

Ofcourse it is always up to the individual artist to accept or decline!  There could be many more reasons for a resell, including a private one. I personally state in my shop that I do not allow for my work to be resold. And would anybody kindly ask me, I would probably charge for a namechange and explicitly ask them to state that they will delete the old files that they had received upon purchasing my art.

Hello my moddies! I'd like my shop to be restored.

Hello peeps! 

My name is Martinus.

I aspire to become a concept artist and have been introduced to the GASR forum by a friend.  

Things to know about me? Here comes a list with thingies if yer interest'd.

1.   I'm in a relationship with chocolate even though I shouldn't be as I'm diabetic. (type 1, for almost 7,5 years now.)

2.   I like my drinks to have goldflakes in them. They make me feel funny, somehow.

3.   My most favourite artists of this moment would be Mariah Carey and Two Steps From Hell, specifically Thomas Bergersen regarding the TSFH duo.

4.   For a long time I've been working on worldbuilding for a story featuring OC's based on myself. It's working title is Heavy Wings and I printed a booklet for it as part of my graduation project.

5.   I'm a pretty social person capable of a lot of small talk, but do tend to keep my guard up and treasure the times spend on my own. 

6.   Living in The Netherlands, The Hague. I'm a dude. 21 Years young. Bisexual. Though it tends to be more of a strange, dynamic thing.

7.   I play Black Desert Online almost as a part time job. Next to this I also used to make a lot of assets, paint a lot of textures and do leveldesign for the Tomb Raider Level Editor community. Other games I love are Kingdom Hearts, NieR / Drakengard series and high fantasy games like TERA and games from Final Fantasy series.

8.   I love high heels/sneakers, makeup, jewelry, tattoos and hair. I also like fur, but hate that animals are killed for it (Animal lover here.) Also don't have the nuts yet to wear any myself honestly.

9.   One of my daily practices in art is human anatomy and human faces. I just love the contrast of curvy feminine shapes and chiseled masculine muscle. The body is just beautiful in many more ways than one.

10. I'm kind of a dreamy person. When I listen to music I Close My Eyes and tend to drift away to a place far away from here.

Thank you for reading and looking forward to seeing you around!
