I have noticed an interesting amount of unsourced fanworks being spread around recently

and I would like to bring to your attention a really cool little internet tool that’s free and open for your use:

SAUCENAO.COM

if you happen to find or have a fanart saved to a file and have no clue where the original source is

FOR GOD’S SAKE, USE THIS

especially if said fanart looks as if it came from pixiv, because 97% of the time saucenao can accurately locate works from there

IF SAUCENAO FAILS YOU

there is another method you can use, WHICH YOU CAN READ ALL ABOUT HERE.

if that fails you too, I want you to stop for a moment and think

is it REALLY necessary that I post this work without sourcing the original artist?

if the answer is ‘yes’, at least request in the text portion for someone to help you find the original source

and for the love of god, DO NOT make the source your own fucking blog

holy shit this is awesome and you should feel awesome for spreading this knowledge
