She put the photo up on the subreddit, I just painted her portrait and provided her attribution link, so concerned citizens such as yourself could go ask her those questions.
Her response was something along the lines of "that's so fucking cool" and she followed me on twitter.
Do people regularly ask you about the ethics of your activities online?
I don't do much online relating to other people, so the ethics of my actions are rarely ever even a question.
I'm also not concerned about your ethics. I was just making a quick note because if you do make and sell a piece of art with her image on it, and she sees it later, and she hasn't heard about it, she could either be glad or dislike it, and I wouldn't like to make a product with an image on it, where the person depicted is unhappy due to my use of their image.
In terms of attribution, not like I am concerned or care about it, but you may have a misconception of how copyright works. Images posted in public are not public domain, meaning that the fact that you published something in public doesn't mean that someone else can copy that creative work and use it for commercial purposes.
All in all I like your art, and while I'm not concerned about whatever ethics or rule-following are involved, I did want to ask what your level of involvement was with the person depicted and how aware she was of what you were planning to do with her image.
Nope, obviously didn't think you tied her up. I saw her profile and all. Just wondering if she knew.
Also, you might have misunderstood how copyright works. Read up on it, because attribution is not all that's necessary for legally using someone's image for commercial purposes.

Maybe you're a concerned citizen, and thought I tied her up against her will, and then painted her portrait and posted it on steemit.
I'm just an artist, using freely available photos on reddit, and providing model attribution.
