It’s just a unique idea that I came up with.

Personally, I Just slap on “I STOLE THIS FROM RABBITHAWK256” as a watermark

With some intermediate skills and a photo editing software like Photoshop, you can easily remove simple, transparent watermarks. The watermarks this post provides makes it much harder(and probably impossible without it looking distorted) to remove them.

Yes, but the trade-off is that it’s hard to see the finished product.

You don’t need to show off the finished product, you need to prove that it exists.

@Spagetti_07 It still shows about 50% of the image if the watermark was fully opaque.
Only showing 50% to the person who is expected to pay good money for it doesn’t sound great.

I like the idea, but maybe there is a less obstructive method? I can barely see the GFX.

Seems good, a bit obstructive!
*why watermark my work though
Thank you for explaining… I wasn’t sure why I wanted to use watermarks.
I think the OP has an awesome concept. This could be used several different ways, including bringing the opacity a bit… Cool!
With a couple of tools and the crazy new Content-Aware Fill, this will still be possible to remove on simpler graphics. When it becomes a very complex thumbnail, it becomes harder to cover up, but it still may be possible.

You can see the watermark more than your work.
Maybe make it a little bit easier to see?

What about the sense that it doesn’t show that you created it?
The person could steal the watermarked GFX and add it to their portfolio.
The only way to get around this would be to also add your name… which goes against the whole point of the post

Wow! Thank you, that is a good point I will make more, however, assuming you know how to manipulate text in apps such as Photoshop or Paint.net you can but something that says that you made it.
I don’t like these, I’m sorry. They’re just too obstructive and the mix of colours makes it even harder to see the image behind.

I honestly don’t know if you are asking a genuine question because you should always watermark your work to prevent stealing (unless you actually don’t care)

This is quite nice. I love it.

There are programs which can remove transparent name watermarks, and you can even do it yourself in photoshop. This is a much more secure way to send your work.

If you are just going to add text that says you made it… why even use the pattern?
Exactly. This is a pretty pointless idea since someone can just claim it as theirs still since there is no credit anywhere. Its just an annoying watermark.
There is literally no point of this watermark since it fails the one thing a watermark should do: Prevent Stealing.

If you read other comments they say events stealing because it’s colorful. I actually think this is safer than just regular text watermarks.
