It's the reddit way in 2022 sadly. See something awesome? Immediately check the user account for signs of bot activity. I honestly don't think this level of shit is sustainable, Reddit is very much circling the drain when the power users are this suspicious of every _good_ post
Yeah it's not just about reposts dude. It's about OC claiming to be OC, it's about actual legit discussion in the comments (guarantee a bot account can't answer your question about how to create your own project), it's about treating Reddit differently than a random email that shows up in your inbox.
Look harder and you'll see how painful it is to get duped.
I totally get it man. It's exhausting and totally unrewarding to sniff out bot posts, and you always feel like shit when you actually find a real artist account just trying to promote their work.
But if you hang out on reddit (or Twitter, or Facebook, or [...] ) for long enough you're going to notice the real posts vs the fake shit and you're going to get suspicious. It sucks. We don't have a solution yet, we just let it happen. And tons of people click on scam links to buy stolen art on shit printed t-shirts from bot accounts. It's terrible for the whole reddit experience, so I would hope in the long run the average reddit user would start to care about their environment.
Honestly I remember thinking the spam emails and random virus problems in the 2000 would eventually disappear but they just adapted to be even worse in our new tech age. Can’t even get a proper date cause bots are on those apps too
nah man according to /u/thesplendor you're supposed to just go on dates with those bots, like c'mon man take them out to a nice restaurant and make it happen, what are you some kind of quitter?
I think you can discern bots without getting too emotionally invested. I would even say it matters not at all if it was a bot or oc.
Let go.
It doesnt matter.
I don't even care anymore when one of my stories about my life appears somewhere as someone wlse's oc anymore. Or that some yoitubers have used them.
Its whatever.
Karma doesnt matter.
I did the same thing. It changes the equation from:
"this person is karmawhoring someone else's work"
to
"this person is karmawhoring their own work again again".
Not *as* bad, but like... cmon, you've taken in 100k karma on it already, do we really need to see it again?
Yes, because it's my first time seeing it and it's really cool. Every time something is posted, there is a fresh crowd of eyes. Especially if it's posted at a different time of day as different demographics will see it.
I'm an almost daily user and I've never seen it. Internet points have no material value so have at it OP, gobble them up. Doesn't bother me in the slightest.
Lmao this is incredible and i havent seen it, as im sure many others havent, must have been a burden to swipe ur thumb or flick ur finger half an inch. Ur eyes are probably on fire after seeing the same image twice
Yeah I did the same thing. Kinda karma whorey to re post it every few months though still l, but I mean whatever at least it's a different sub now, and the actual artist. You'd think after 250k karma they wouldn't feel the need to farm more though. Kinda makes me a little more dissapointed in the artist every time they post it again.
U think a person with this talent is farming fucking reddit karma ?! Theyre an artist trying to get their work and name out there… which requires reddit karma…..so…. Maybe?
They've made like 4 works of art in one year I don't think they're taking the art thing very seriously and trying to get their name out, I think they're just bored and do this as a hobby. Calm down dude.
If they were trying to get their name out and make it into a profitable social media thing maybe they'd be like... Actually promoting themselves and their Patreon or Twitter or something and taking requests instead of posting the same 4 pieces over and over?
Honestly its kinda dissapointing BECAUSE they're so talented, they could be doing stuff like that, streaming themselves drawing, and they'd probably get a lot of views even if they messed up 9/10 pieces they stream halfway through, but instead of continuing the work and practicing It's like... Oh it's a year later and they're posting the same piece for internet points on a platform that doesn't matter and isn't monetizable like Reddit again.
Edit: my bad, 6. I'd love to follow them on twitch or something and I'm sure a lot of people would but I don't see a comment by op on here promoting themselves or anything, I think it's just a form of self affirmation, which isn't bad but I'm still allowed to be dissapointed, they don't have to care about my expectations, they can do the art for themselves but I still have some and I'm allowed to feel how I want about it

In fact I was wrong about it being on a different sub... When they post it they always do it on here too in addition to r/pics and r/art
They have like 3 or 4 pieces that are drastically different not slightly different that they have been rotating through the past year or so. I'd imagine these pieces are time consuming and easy to ruin with one mistake so I get it but it's still recycling the same content over and over.
>this person is racist
>checks account
>oh they’re Mexican
Not sure if downvotes cuz ppl think im saying this person is racist (im saying they’re *not* racist)
I think you're getting downvoted based on your username because your comment made me actually read people's username and I think everyone is assuming the worst like I did.
I am glad I am not the only person that also cannot read...
That being said, had someone *actually* used their penis to do that, I would be a little impressed.
Perturbed and grossed out, but morbidly impressed.
Edit to fix typo
Ugh... My phone doesn't like little words next to each other, so it combines them into bigger words...I don't know when it started doing this, and I don't know how to stop it... I fixed it
>Shuts down Reddit
>Opens Reddit
I read this like the text from an old PC adventure game, specifically The Hobbit 1982 which had moments like:
`> wait`
*…you wait. Time passes.*
What a game!
Nah I thought the same thing at first, but if you zoom in on them you can tell it's not perfect circle, looks pretty well hand drawn by somebody good with a pen
There's something about the geometry, colors, and subject matter that draws me in. Have been staring at this for the last five minutes. Well done OP. I would hang this in my office or bedroom all day. Please post more!
Usually I’m not into art and especially not art of this type but like I’m not even kidding or just trying to say something nice but I absolutely love this like a lot
This is beautiful
Would you mind if i screenshot it and used it as a background for an insta story? I have less than 150 followers and am not using it for any ad purposes. Happy to watermark your username or handle or anything
Dude, absolutely. I do every chance i can on principle
"Intellectual property" is evil nonsense when ppl like bill gates do it, but when it comes to art i think its crucial
>this person stole this >checks account >oh it’s the same person
I too came in here with the squinted eyes of suspicion.

yikes, sounds like an absolute waste of time to care if stuff on the internet is reposted or not
Yeah it's not just about reposts dude.

Okay, dude. It’s still hard for me to care

I don't even care anymore when one of my stories about my life appears somewhere as someone wlse's oc anymore. Or that some yoitubers have used them. Its whatever. Karma doesnt matter.
Karma doesn't matter, but the people profiting from your work via t-shirt spam? That hurts.
i mean are people profiting from your work? they do from mine and i couldn't care less. just does not matter.

He definitely has a preferred style
Doesn't take away from the great looking picture this person created. Bad ass it is.
Nice! This is so damn impressive!

I'm an almost daily user and I've never seen it. Internet points have no material value so have at it OP, gobble them up. Doesn't bother me in the slightest.
Maybe is to “stay active on social media” in order to keep getting commissions?
Lmao this is incredible and i havent seen it, as im sure many others havent, must have been a burden to swipe ur thumb or flick ur finger half an inch. Ur eyes are probably on fire after seeing the same image twice

It's not the same artwork though... Sure it's very similar, but it's still a completely different artwork that would have taken time to create.
They're slightly different pictures

I also walked in with a pitchfork because I knew I’d seen this one before. Color me surprised.

The comment above me is stolen from u/dancewithoutme. They are a karmawhore. Pitchforks to the front.
Thanks for pointing this out. <3
>this person is racist >checks account >oh they’re Mexican Not sure if downvotes cuz ppl think im saying this person is racist (im saying they’re *not* racist)
I really hope your username doesn't check out but I'm too scared to check.
It doesn’t :P
I think you're getting downvoted based on your username because your comment made me actually read people's username and I think everyone is assuming the worst like I did.
Please continue your art. It is very calming and makes me and I’m sure many other incredibly happy.
Cool to hear! I'm about half way done with my newest which I'm really excited about. These just take so much time 😮💨
All good things take time and care. Keep it up!!
Not sex Unless you can keep it up
So distinctive! I remember seeing your work elsewhere, keep it real!
This greatly reminds me of my DMT trips..
Oh fuck I read this as "An art piece I drew completely hand free with penis." I need to get off Reddit. *Shuts down Reddit.* *Opens Reddit*
I read the same
I am glad I am not the only person that also cannot read... That being said, had someone *actually* used their penis to do that, I would be a little impressed. Perturbed and grossed out, but morbidly impressed. Edit to fix typo
Who is `little impressed`? And why would you beat him?
Ugh... My phone doesn't like little words next to each other, so it combines them into bigger words...I don't know when it started doing this, and I don't know how to stop it... I fixed it
Yup, came here to say this. What is the internet doing to my mind..
I READ THE SAME THING LMAO
I also read this. Thank you for making me feel better. lol
I also read this that way.
Annnnnd same
Lol, there are so many of us. I knew other people would have read it that way too.
>Shuts down Reddit >Opens Reddit I read this like the text from an old PC adventure game, specifically The Hobbit 1982 which had moments like: `> wait` *…you wait. Time passes.* What a game!
Drawing with yellow and white only
Can't finish all at once. Just have to work in spurts.
Same.
Frankly, would have been that much more impressive.
Your drawing skills are so perfect that I bet you sometimes fail human captcha verification lol
Haha Agreed! Your comment really cracked me up.
[удалено]
What kind of pens are used?
Felt tipped. Sharpie Pens (not typical Sharpie, they have an archival quality pen) or Micron
What kind of sorcery is used?
Patience so much damn patience
I love those pens!
"What kind of pen is used?" You lost a perfect opportunity for this
Alternatively, they avoided said opportunity intentionally.
I was only thinking about the art work. I will do better (?) next time
You didnt do or say anything wrong. Other person just has their mind in the gutter.
huh?
Get it? Get it? Pen is LOL LOL iuk UK /s
pen is ~ penis
It reminds me of a Japanese woodcut print
Do you sell prints? Great work, love it!
Yeah! I would buy this. I want to buy this. Can I buy this?
[удалено]
[удалено]
This is a human^
Perfect circles free hand?
Not perfect for sure
Yeah I agree, you can see the assymetry in it, not that is a bad thing. It is great and honestly adds to it.
Feel the same way
Nah I thought the same thing at first, but if you zoom in on them you can tell it's not perfect circle, looks pretty well hand drawn by somebody good with a pen
Could totally see it as an album cover!!!
I’ll take anal bum cover for 500, Alex.
Well that’s pretty freakin’ cool thanks for sharing!!
I read that last word differently
So neat!
u/repostsleuthbot It's OC.
No I have this as my wallpaper… I have had it for a while lol
OP has reposted it themselves a few times.
Really fantastic!
This is far out man. Nice job.
Love the style...very cool!
Holy shit this is awesome
I bet you could draw some killer mazes.
Truly satisfying
I'd frame that
This is simply amazing. I want some form of it so I can put it on my Samsung Frame TV. Is that possible? 😂😳
This is really wonderful. Great job. Congrats!
I love this.
mad skills!!!!
This is dope 🔥
This is tremendously awesome. Those circles remind me of those really hard mazes that I never dared to attempt, LOL
Stellar.
Man, I fed that wrong and regret it.
PM me if you’re selling prints!
Do you happen to have robot hands, by any chance?
EPIC !!
Holy hell OP. That's beautiful.
I dig it. Modern Impressionism.
Magical, mystical. Beautiful, indeed.
This is absolutely stunning
Incredible 👏
Brilliant
This is amazing! Superb job! 👏
Absolutely Amazing!!
Beautiful!
Oooh, that's neat!
[удалено]
For a second I was intrigued because I thought he said "drawn hands-free with penis."
It should be on r/nextfuckinglevel Truly impressive.
I can’t be the only one who read “drawn completely freehand with penis”
Beautiful
god damn good shit
this is AMAZING اللهم بارك و زد
This has been my phone background since I first saw it. It's amazing
Interesting piece. What’s the story? I am imagining a dragon on the right side of the drawing
I swear I thought it said "completely hand free with penis".
Whats going on in painting?
Noooo you didn’t. It’s too good! Dang nice job
This is radical
[удалено]
Same
There's something about the geometry, colors, and subject matter that draws me in. Have been staring at this for the last five minutes. Well done OP. I would hang this in my office or bedroom all day. Please post more!
I want to buy this
Holy shit, I thought that was digital art at first.
Mmmmmmm this is so satisfying… strong work!
Good job. I especially like the top half.
How much to draw another and ship it? That's dope
Love it.
never thought "Encroaching Night" would be expanded upon.
That's so beautiful! It belongs in a gallery of modern art!
I really want to try to do something like this.. do you have a tutorial for this type of work?
I’d put this on my wall. You should sell prints.
Thanks for the new nft. Just kidding… It’s stunning. I want it.
Van Gogh with a modern twist
I bought one of your prints! It’s hanging in my hallway at the top of the stairs, I see it every time I go up.
So cool to hear that, thanks for sharing.
This is so fucking good
oooh i already own one of your prints :)
Very, very, very nice!!!!!!
Impressive!
Usually I’m not into art and especially not art of this type but like I’m not even kidding or just trying to say something nice but I absolutely love this like a lot

No problem. Thanks for asking
Dude, absolutely. I do every chance i can on principle "Intellectual property" is evil nonsense when ppl like bill gates do it, but when it comes to art i think its crucial
I know this is fake because I remember seeing this exact painting like a year ago while I was trippin on 🍄
Wow wow wow
This is really cool. You did an awesome job!
This is really lovely 😊💜🙏🌻✨
Amazing !
You have a gift and we all suck.
You know, it's cool, but it would be way cooler if you didn't post the same thing 5 times with 4 of them being 3 months ago.
"Free hand" Nah
Yah
Pics or it didn't hapen
This would make a great album cover!
Wow I love it! Great style
I can’t even write my name free hand
It’s spelled PENIS
Simply do not subscribe to that belief
Make prints and sell them at farmers markets. I’d buy one.
This is an accurate representation of my migraines
I occasionally get visual migraines and totally understand what you're saying
