What are your thoughts on watermarks? (Patreon)

Imageboards and twitter got me frustrated.

On Patreon images? I'd go with a more obvious signature. Watermarking paid content feels bad man.

Jamie

I agree with I am unknown watermarking paid content seems wrong.

I'm not opposed to a watermark but could you give us an example of what that might look like? Because I've seen some watermarks that other artists have done at times that are so in-your-face that they diminish the overall picture more then anything else.

A signature or small watermark is fine, but too often I see watermarks that impede the visual appeal of the artwork by distracting the eye.

You could put it somewhere in the corner, which would still be relatively easy to edit out (less so if there's a background) but at the very least that's another extra step for them to take. Could go either a simple logo or links towards your pages/Patreon. Or even a date so people know it's supposed to be public a year after. It's a tough situation either way, hope you can find something that works while also keeping your patrons happy.

I absolutely cannot get into artwork with a big ugly watermark stamped over the top of it. Don't get me wrong, I understand the need for it, but blegh. That's a dealbreaker.

Could place your logo subtly on the image as a clothing logo for example. So it's recurring but not a distraction from the image

Id say it depends how you do it. If its obstructive and in the middle of the pic that kinda kills it. But if youve got like a signature or somthing small its fine

I really only hate the ones that are stamped over the entirety of the picture. If you could figure out how to add them as clothing logos and such, and in such a way that you can't miss them without detracting from the overall picture, you wouldn't get any complaints from any quarter, I would think.

Ouch. Deserved, but ouch.

Watermark it' s a good way to protect arts.
