No no no, that’s not what that means!
It’s the same thing you’ll see on websites like DeviantArt and stuff like that. I’t just legal jargon for “hey your art goes through our servers, and through our servers other people can see your art, so we need your permission to transfer your art and let other people see it.”
It’s not a scam where they’re gonna take your art and make money off of it. They just literally don’t want to be sued by people claiming Discord is “reproducing” their art. The reproduction here is just them sending the image to whoever you’re talking to.
I promise you this is in the ToS of any art website, and even Tumblr’s ToS.
There’s Tumblr and DeviantArt’s ToS. Both say almost exactly the same thing that Discord is saying now. It’s just a normal procedure.
Please stop spreading this idea that when a website or service asks for permission to show your art on their site that it means they’re going to take your art and use it to make money.
Welcome everyone to the weird and wonderful world of hand-painted movie posters. When videocassettes reached Ghana (West Africa) in the early 80s, mobile cinema operators began to set up TVs and VCRs in neighborhoods and screened the latest videos from America and elsewhere. The movie posters they used are amazing (hand painted on flour sacks!) and here are some of them. Writer/director Walter Hill nailed it dead-on when he said, “To be brutally honest, many of these posters are more interesting than the films.”
so stanley pain is an oc that i love to pieces but i have to be really really careful getting into that headspace, it’s rly dangerous bcus of all the themes of suicide present in his arc and i tend to get immersive when i draw certain characters. eventually i’ll write up a big thing for him here. bonus points if you catch the reference on the name lol.
altho one thing i think is rly cool is bottom left and middle i liked how they both came out, esp since that’s supposed to be water under the platforms of his burned corpse. anyways so this character has a lot of self-immolation instances because combustion is supposed to represent emotions reaching such a high peak symbolized by fire and his rampant need for self-destruction, thinking it’ll give him a way out of all the shit he’s going through which is mucho sad but i love the symbolism behind his burning fits. the body unravels as it burns and gravity has no bearing on his melting skin and muscle tissue. everything is so much for him and it hits close to home :(((
nothing
