No AI / Selling / Printing .ABR Watermark brushes
With the rise of AI learning and image generations, I decided to make these watermarks in an effort to combat it. Using these watermarks may help in 2 ways:
- The person who intends to use your artwork is unaware that you're against it. Seeing this watermark may convince them not to use your work.
- If they decide to use your artwork anyway, bits of the watermark may appear in their result(s). Additionally, watermark removers have a harder time with slightly-blurred watermarks.
This brush does not magically guarantee that people won't still try to use your artwork to train AI. Put it in a place that's difficult to crop out. Block out and/or blur parts of your art to make it harder for AI learning to replicate it. Consider using "invisible" watermarks to fool scraping services. Stay safe!
Combines well with other signatures, both written & stamped. You can use either the No AI one, the no selling/printing one, or both. Works best if the watermark is semi-transparent with a slight gradient to fit the local colors where you place it. Works well on layers with effects. I personally use Multiply/Addition/Overlay/Color Dodge/etc., sometimes even combine them. Works with Photoshop, Procreate, & ClipStudio Paint.
If you like them, please donate!
Fonts used are Quicksand (google font) & Salt, both of which are free for commercial use.
