[Mod Post] New Rule on Reposting Fan Art and Giving Proper Credit to the Original Artist

We decided to add a new rule (Rule 8) to the subreddit for the sake of the artists in the World Trigger community. It reads as follows:

When posting fan art, credit the original artist whenever possible. Respect their wishes with regard to reposting.

If you come across someone else's artwork, and you want to share it here, you're free to do so as long as the original artist doesn't mind their work being reposted. Please make the effort to find the source of the artwork (or at least the original artist's name) and share it somewhere in the post. A link post going directly to the page with the artwork on it is preferable, but something like mentioning the artist's name in the title and linking to their webpage in the body of the post or comments is also acceptable. If you make an effort to find a source but you can't, that's okay. Sometimes it's no longer available. Just mention in the comments that you weren't able to find one.

For those of you who post your own artwork, please indicate that you are the original artist somewhere in your post. If you decide to post your recreation of someone else's work, that's fine, but please the give credit to the artist whose work you are recreating.

Artwork will be removed if it is believed to be plagiarized or stolen.
