Topic: What's the source?

Posted under Art Talk

1. i can tell from that link that this is a post from this site so in the future when linking posts please use the following DText: post #103142 for example. the post number can be found in the URL right after show/.

2. did you check the reverse image search options? those are on the left side of the page beneath the tags and all the other stuff.

3. since i don't know the post number i'll just use google for now as i simply have to drag & drop the pic into the search bar there.

ok, wtf is this? i did an image search google. not an image + the words "fictional character" search. sorry but only 2 results and they are completely irrelevant. might work better with the actual post.

Use the file name with md5: to find the post number, i.e. md5:83696b8e6834b42b3217991277552b4a.

Personally I can't find the image, google only finds it here and sauceNAO doesn't know it at all, Inkbunny also has no hits. You might try contacting the uploader of the image and ask where he found it, it's only been a week so chances are they can still remember it.

Got a bit curious about finding it and did super quick searches through IB, FA, SF and W but got nothing (albeit it might still be there).

That might usually work, but I think most people think it's a bit crazy to talk to oneself in such a manner ;)

Although if OP knows anything about where they found it, that might help someone else find it.

You're the one who uploaded it. I don't suppose you remember anything about where you got it from? The original filename also often offers some clues.

Furaffinity. I don't remember the artist name. I uploaded in hopes someone would know. ._. My hopes are dashed so far.. I've tried everything from reverse search all the ones e621 offers and such. I seriously do not remember thea rtist name and its driving me crazy. D:

Do you have the original image still on your hard drive? If yes tell us the filename.

A file from FurAffinity would normally look something like 1465502990.tuvaluan_penis.png or [email protected]. Are you sure you got it from FurAffinity, did you only give us a partial filename or did you change the file name after downloading it?

Well, could've been Weasyl.
I didn't change the filename. .-. I'm sorry I can't give more to go on. I just really want to find the artist of this badly

Still haven't been able to find that piece anywhere, but I've found the character.

Her name is Shalara and she belongs to kazen101. That may be able to help with finding the source. Most likely either commissioned by them or their art.

EDIT: Got it! It's by Valsalia. The filename on FA is 1414618384.valsalia_kazen101shalara3.png so I'm not sure where the k2smdzu1 thing came from.

That's some damn fine detective work.

How did you do that? Teach me your ways.

Great job, I searched for "weapon" and "goggles" (among other things) on FA and went through all the 408 posts but still managed to miss it :'(
