We, as Minecraft GFX artists work very hard and spend long hours on the pieces we make. However, our hard work is sometimes exploited by Malicious individuals who request "preview" works or "progress screenshots" and then abscond with the art without paying. As an artist, you invest time, effort, and creativity into your work, so it's essential to take measures to protect your creations.
Watermarks serve as a protective barrier between your artwork and potential thieves. Not all watermarks are created equal, and high-security watermarks are more robust and resistant to tampering. They can include visible overlays and subtle patterns. These advanced watermarks make it more challenging for would-be art thieves to remove or manipulate the watermark without degrading the overall quality of the image.
Now, the threat to digital art theft has been amplified by the proliferation of AI tools that are more sophisticated than ever. These AI tools can pose a significant risk to the integrity of your watermarked art. They have the capability to recognize and attempt to remove watermarks, thus making high-security watermarks all the more essential in the fight against art theft.
To help other Minecraft GFX artists in safeguarding their creations, I am to provide you guys with some useful resources I found. These overlays are easy to use with just a simple drag and drop (Make sure to edit the blending mode) and, most importantly, highly secure.
