still in love with my car

It has been brought to my attention (thanks so much @riaaanna you're the best ❤️) that an IG account has reposted MY fanart without permission: 🚨

^ this is MY digital art, definitely NOT a photo taken by Brian May, and you did NOT have my permission to repost the picture on Instagram! YOU HAVE LITERALLY CROPPED OUT MY ORIGINAL WATERMARK.

link to my original post, where I first posted this (in 2023): https://www.tumblr.com/justlike-awoman/726750186933764096?source=share

^ I have all the original .psd files of the process, this was literally MADE by me.

^ Lets go through all this shall we??

Yes, I used Photoshop, because that is the program I like to use FOR DIGITAL PAINTING.

Yes, I used references, obviously, because that's how (hyper)realistic painting works!! It's NOT "PHOTOSHOPPED", it's literally painted, using photos as REFERENCE!

(Do you honestly think that if I was just going to Photoshop an image i would've used such dogshit resolution? Please. It's small and grainy as hell bc that's how I work when I PAINT. FOR FUN.)

While i used references, I can promise you I didn't use them for Roger's FEET.... ⛔💀 girl those things are like just 20px across in the picture anyway.... 😭

TL;DR:

- DON'T REPOST ORIGINAL CONTENT YOU DON'T OWN OR HAVE PERMISSION TO POST!!

- "FOUND ON PINTEREST" IS NOT A VALID SOURCE!!

- USE YOUR BRAIN & READ THE POST YOU'RE PLANNING TO STEAL BEFORE CLAIMING AN IMAGE AS "TAKEN BY BRIAN MAY" 😭 that text was there just for the bit...
