@Olo No link? I thought that was mandatory.
As far as I know, I don’t think artist attribution or a source link is required by the forum rules. However, I think it’s safe to say that both are strongly encouraged. I certainly always try to do my best to find the original artist and provide a link to a source that seems relatively persistent.
In the particular case of the series of images that I am currently posting here, I downloaded them from the Shrunken Women Board. Over the past couple of years, the artist has successively created about a dozen accounts there, posting under one account for a few weeks, then abandoning it for months only to create a new account and start posting under that. Sometimes they first delete the images from their previous account, either individually or entire threads.
When I first considered posting some of their images here, I sent them a PM asking how they would like to be attributed and where, if anywhere, I should link to. They never replied to my PM and disappeared from the Shrunken Women Board for another couple of months. When they reappeared, their subsequent accounts had private messages disabled, so I concluded that they didn’t want to hear from me.
I tried to go back through the earlier threads to find the images I had downloaded. I was successful in some cases, but I couldn’t find the above image as well as a few others, so I can’t even link to the threads where I found them.
Below are all the usernames of the accounts that I (provisionally) identified with this artist:
Who
Who is busy
Who knows?
Who is disturbing ?
Who is sorry
Who shrank her
Who likes shrinking
Who renders
Who 3d Renders
Who wants to know ?
Who did this ?
Impishly, I have decided to refer to this artist as Who_needs_attribution?
Their signature used to reference a DeviantArt account, now deactivated: VisionsOfStrangeness
Reverse-image searching found one of their images in the gallery of another DeviantArt account that still exists: Out-of-size. Regular viewers will note that I posted a bunch of images by Out-of-size immediately preceding the current series.
ETA: This artist is now posting again on DeviantArt as EpicIllusionist.
