welp.  
Sometimes watermarking is annoying, but we still shouldn’t blame the artist.  
Just thinkk about it: if the project you had spent plenty of time drawing it was stolen and used randomly by someone you even didn’t know who he/she is, what would you think?  
An artwork is a creation with the artist’s inspiration, time and efforts, which we should respect, And it is the artist who keeps the copyright of the picture stealing one’s artwork without permission can be offensive and sometimes even illegal (at least in my country?).  
Btw, if you really want the markless one, just contact the artist himself/herself and politely ask for its copyright(not using it randomly without marking out the original source or for business in short)(if the artist have other requirements, just follow them). But if he/she refuses, just give up and forget your thought (very depressing, but you have to)  
sometimes you can remove the watermark by yourself using Photoshop, however you’d better keep it to yourself and not spread it out cuz it’s still considered improper

Another great image ruined by watermarks. What’s the point of even having the watermark when their signature is already on the image, running along the leg no less. I think that would suffice…
