There are right ways and wrong ways to do watermarks. Right ways include signatures, either on the artwork itself (you see this in all of my recent entries in the form of a written "RGB" with a loop around it, you see it in my current profile pic as a "DEANNA" with a crown around it) small and not obtrusive, but in a key part of the piece. It's easy to ignore, but if somebody steals my stuff they are forced to now alter the image, or they don't notice it. Both make it obvious that they stole it.

i've done my fair share of removing watermarks on images to use for personal recreation (IE i havent published anything and said it's mine)

if you want a tip on watermarking in this way correctly:

dont put your watermark in a corner where everything is the same colour or doesn't have a shape within it

if you put a watermark on a part of the art that's just a grey background, that is easy as fuck to remove and nigh untraceable if someone doesn't know the original artwork (most of the time removing the watermark is enough for google reverse search to come up blank)

instead:

put it in a complex corner where there is a definite something there such as a window, a body part, etc.

that way it's pretty much impossible to remove the watermark without having to re-draw the artist's own art over it, and that'll still make it obvious.

Giving some appreciation to the Jedi Outcast modding community with this beautiful set piece for a duel. It counts as art because it's so beautiful :')

Made by myself and @Dingo
Filter is to replicate a somewhat cold-war feeling to it, aiming for 1990. Feedback appreciated.

You can do that with an app, zoom in though and it's very clear it's been done manually. Some of the lines don't match up, there's a few gaps, stuff the app would have done perfectly. There's also a good distinction between the curves and the blocky sections, again the app wouldn't handle it very well.
