Ok, so I WAS going to contact artists individually and privately, but that was before I realized there would be literally hundreds of artists.
The Youtube channel Super Hedgehog Bros is reposting and monetizing art from HUNDREDS of Sonic artists. In 3 videos alone, all posted within the last week, they have used art from over 100 artists. Their channel is monetized, they are making money from views.
100 artists from 3 videos. The channel has over 400 videos posted. They have over 60k subscribers.
If you're a Sonic artist, especially if you make comics, and you don't want your work reposted for someone else's monetary gain then you should probably have a look and consider if you want to do a copyright claim. Maybe let your friends know too, if you know they care about this sort of thing.
It's literally impossible for me to contact everyone about this, I just need to hope this post finds at least some of the people it matters to!
First art for this lovely fandom/community post to be a cover page for an comic I think about making but I scarth that idea
Ya know what kinda tics me off? Traditional artists getting OBVIOUSLY less attention for their art compared to digital art.
This isnt a bash towards digital art itself! I love it and I’m looking into starting into that path as well, but it just kinda rubs me the wrong way when these BEAUTIFUL traditional art works have such little notes!
Am i a little bias as a traditional artist? Most definitely! But you can not look me in the face and say that traditional art is as well received in the media as digital art.
Sorry— this just has been nagging at me a bit.
REBLOG AND LIKE THE TRADITIONAL ARTIST BADDIES!!!! THEY DO HARD WORK AND DESERVE TO BE RECOGNIZED FOR IT!!

too sleepy to elaborate at this time but I miss the old fandom culture of interacting with fanfic writers and fanfic artists as members of the fandom community who enjoyed engagement and discussion and feedback instead of the modern trend of seeing us as content creators up on a pedestal who don't need positive feedback but DO need to churn out constant content to feed the a03 machine
I'm starting to see AI art in fanart tags and even when they are tagged as AI art, people in the reblogs tagged it as fanart.
Let me just say this once. I don't believe AI art is fanart. The way things are, it's theft. It doesn't count. The effort that fan artists put into their works cannot be equated in value with whatever an AI generates. The works with hours of applied skill and originality and love put into them are the works I want to praise on this blog.
So that being said, if I ever reblog "fanart" that is ai generated, please send me a message or an ask and let me know so I can delete it off my blog.
I know I'm late but it's okay
You guys can thank me later on this
