"Renders" = Stolen art. "Renders" with quotation marks because real renders are cool things that 3D artists do.

This is the first stamp I have ever made. Because if you talk to these render-makers, they simply ignore or block you and the admins don't really seem to do anything about it either, so I figured the easiest way to spread the word about this issue would be making a stamp.

Lately, I see one of these on the front page every fucking time I log in to :devart: and it annoys me because it's nothing but shameless art theft. Either a background-less picture of some popular character or a wallpaper made by using these transparent png images (and the maker claiming they were free stock images). DO NOT ADD THEM TO YOUR FAVOURITES. REPORT THEM!!
:bulletred: Rendering is originally what 3D artists do to 3D models.
But here is what these people think "rendering" is:
:bulletpink: Random person takes a fanart or official anime/manga/videogame art from the official website, image board (like Zerochan), Pixiv, Google image search, etc., then removes the background of the pic with Photoshop's magic eraser tool, and then posts it on deviantART as a free to use stock image. They often post them to the "Resources & Stock Images / Stock Images / 3D & Renders / Miscellaneous" category. :iconwthplz:
This is NOT rendering. You know, maybe the original picture had a background because the artist didn't inted it to be used as free clipart...

This stamp probably won't get popular, but even if just a few of my watchers notice it and agree with it, it will be a success for me.

The image I used is Oz from Pandora Hearts drawn by Jun Mochizuki. I've seen this exact same image on :devart: as a "render" before.
