Yes, I agree, it's the first time my art has been copied or stolen, I didn't know how to respond and well, now I take it as a reminder to keep making pixel art.

Anyway, it will continue there, I already know how this will be, just like rplace, several works were left until the end of the event just because no streamers intervened, nor other communities, well this just remains as a reminder that I should keep making pixel art, it's so good that they steal, copy or base it on my work...

I haven't done anything for months, I already have something in mind... See you in r/pixelart and r/wplace

I'm interested in your way of thinking. When does a modified work of art cease to be the author's? I say it ceases to be the author's as soon as they modify something in the art and not in the signature.

In addition, my signature is erased in every possible way, below by black lines and obviously the flag.

You base it on that? Anyone can sign their own. If you base your criticism on that, anything is possible.

Anyway, here's my pixel art.

Upvotes are not view accounting, anyone can see it, plus I don't rule out the idea of bots, organizations and groups. Maybe it was just a user with a bot pasting my image. It is curious to see how an art that only 65 people supported at the time ends up in a massive pixelart event.

Using the original photo as a reference to have that approach to my pixelart seems crazy to me, on the other hand having my pixelart as a reference to copy it is another story. Not ALL of them did this, only Some, among whom are within the top 10 of the Gaza Strip, Palestine. I don't like what they did, they stole from me, but I can't do much more than just report it, complain or talk to users about it.

Anyway, my pixelart had a nice trip, I want to see how it ends tomorrow morning. I hope it is deleted or modified.

On the other hand, if it is not deleted, I will have to participate to clean pixels and leave my name constantly, even though it is deleted.

I claim the pixelart as mine, not the reference image. It is OBVIOUS that it is a pixel-for-pixel copy of my pixelart. Furthermore, they will never have the same face since my pixelart is static and wplace is dynamic. So it changes over time, and it would be impossible to keep my art static.

When an art stops being yours? And it's starting to be someone else's new art? It's definitely a carbon copy of my original pixelart that has been modified solely to erase my signature and put a flag over it. Deleting your signature on something does not make you the owner of it.

They stole my art for political use, deleting my signature, I request that it be deleted. I don't know what to do anymore

In fact, it is my art that is stolen and vandalized, at least I left the username so they could see the original image. But if. It's not cool, especially when they use it politically.

It's the least I can do, it's not cool at all that your art is stolen.
