Ugh I hae having to retype things... but my interent is being stupid on my desktop.

If you actually read her journal, she states that she posts to the Fursuit LJ to kind of bump herself out there, not really to fish for "GUYS WHAT I DO BETTER?!" answers.

A LOT of artists don't ask for critique because they don't want "omg u suck" comments, or the simple fact that maybe even casual comments will come off as sharp as knives (Some artists like Shads and myself as well, don't take 'general' critique well, and really only want to have comments from the people ordering the item, or limit it to people we know and trust for critique.)

Her suits (as well as her art) are far better in craft than some of the 'well known' suit makers in the US. And that's more in terms of "style" and "uniqueness" as well as how good it looks. Latin Vixen and Lacy's 2D eye style is something WIDELY used by suit makers, even yourself have copied its style; your suit eye: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/4379127/ Lacy's eye: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/4887590

Yes, she might 'benifit' from some pointers, but her having flarws in a style that's all of her own makes it HER style. Because of this, she's already been selected as the creator of my own personal fursuit, because I personally like how her heads look.

I hate being torn between two artiststhat I watch on here, I also hate having to 'contribute' to the drama. But knowing her attitude and how it's similar to my own with handling critique, I have to sidewith her. To her, the critique is like a slap to the face from someone outside of the circle of commissioner and close friends. A feeling that anyone would want to avoid (my semi-blank gallery can prove myself with that fact)

Anyway that's my two cents on the matter... Just because someone doesn't like critique, doesn't mean you have to attack them because of it. She's not being "holier than thou" when she doesn't want critique, she just wants to be seen, really.

This isn't an OMG u can't take critique post - sorry if that's the way it came over, it's more of a "well, whattdya know" post. That's fair enough - everyone wants their work to be seen. She made such a fuss about not wanting critique though. I do normally just keep away from potential drama like this but I was in a shit-stirring mood last night and some of her comments just pushed me over the edge tbh. I probably shouldn't have posted but it's all been deleted now.

I posted this journal because I found it amusing that she could say a lot of things about my suits then basically deleted the post before I could reply. The whole deletion thing just bugged me - I mean, if you're going to post something like that then at least follow it through.

As for copying Lacey and LV, that is 100% unintentional. I copy the references I get for the expressions, and frankly, I don't even like Lacey and LV's work that much, it's boring. My art is still developing and as it develops, so will my suits.

Don't feel torn or that you have to take sides :( I didn't intend this to be a me or her type thing, I haven't got anything against her at all. If I wanted to attack her (not literally) I would have gone out of my way to post on her journal.


Sorry, I tend to ramble.

Also, what part of the journal was attacking ShadowSani? I couldn't give a rats whether she was critique or not but if she's gonna have a fling at my work then she should come out with it and not just delete it

Also, please don't accuse me of copying other suits without proof. I just follow the references I get and the feedback from customers.

Have experienced both yours and hers fursuit work. Let's just say I only worn hers once and that's it.
But really how can a person as a fursuit builder/ artist improve if they don't want others to point out flaws and anything that not look or feel right when it's being used. These are the people what will never improve cause they don't like there work criticised.
That's my few lines in the matter.

Yeah, personally I don't care whether she wants advice or not - it was just more of the fact that I felt she was trying to have a fling at me but wouldn't wait to see my reply.

*sigh* but it seems people will misinterpret this post as a slagging post

The having a sling at your work and then deleting the post before you replying is just cheeky really.
Hopefully most people don't misread the post too much.

SCHENZI U BASTARD

JUST CUZ U KNO MA SUITZ IZ BETTUR THAN URZ

FFFFF HOW DAYER YOU

Ah great, apparently I'm attacking ShadowSani now ¬..¬

It's not my fault she hasn't got the balls to stand up for herself.

UR A BASTARD THATS WHY

It's not like my post was particularly mean. It was just an observation. IF I wanted to attack her I would have done so.

Oh, I agree there. She posted a bitch and then deleted, you just accepted her challenge ;)

I want to accept her challenge - it's taking all my willpower not to post on her journal especially after the copying accusation :(

Jeez, what a mess. This is why I normally don't respond to any of her posts but something really irked me in that one. Also, NOBODY that I saw was forcing crits on her

Crits = Personal attacks

But the stupid thing was no-one was critiqueing - I think all the posts were people wondering why she was making such a fuss over it all.

Kaz was right - shouldn't have posted this journal.

Eh, I dont judge you for posting it lady, that whole situation is a bit WTF xD

Also, previous posts were a bit short as I had a snake trying to dissapear down the back of my shirt xD

That made me smile. I glanced over her journal once or twice and sheesh, it's not like I constantly have a go at her. rthat was the one and only time I commented on her post.

I really want to rant-post on her journal >:(

I couldn't help but post. I mean, come on! Just because you charge a very little amount doesn't mean you can send out wonky stuff DX

I thought I charged very little but it seems I just churn out cheap knock-offs XD That should be my advertising slogan "get your LV booties here!"

I do think good for her being able to spend 16 hours on a suit - I work 9 hours a day and have to fit in the suits in between testing pee and sleeping ><

Oh yes, props to her for doing that much work! I dont even think LV works 16 hours days xD

But yes, you MC KNOCKOFF YOU
HAND IN YOUR FURSUIT UNIQUENESS BADGE AND EXIT TO THE LEFT

*coughgoatknockoffcough* ;)

I'm still glancing over her journal and talk about mountain out of a molehill. Shame no screencaps were taken. I wonder what the chances are of this (or her journal) ending up on furry_drama2?

PFPFFFT ARE U REFFERRING 2 MAI SPECKLE? UKFUR 4TH FAVOURITE 2010! LET ME HOLD ONTO THIS GLORY, JUST ONCE DDDD:

I would run around hammering f5, but I'm too busy making a dragon. AND I'LL DO IT RIGHT DAMMIT

Yeah, at least you got through to the last 5 makers list! The UKfurs saw me for the booty maker i am *sobs*

I'm making spandex pants-padding for a husky bodysuit - BUT I'LL BE RIGHT HERE TO ATTACK YOU NEEDLESSLY ABOUT YOUR CRAP DRAGON HEAD

Selling fursuits out the boot of a car! The shame! :O

I WANT TO SEE WHEN YOUR DONE...
SO I CAN CRIT THE CRAP OUT OF THEM HAAARHAAAR

You go girl! :P **RANDOM INTERJECTION**

I live to entertain <3 Also just remember me when you need your very own knock-off MC suit.

Did you check out her journal btw? I had to screencap that for the lulz, expecially when she starts sucking up to LV :/

Don't say that. You're suits are not knock offs, and never will be.

Aw thanks :) I really would like to know where that copying comment came from though.

Maybe cause they wanted to demoralize you and make you pull out of fursuit building. Or cause they do it themselves and want to divert that to someone else.
Hopefully you'll keep on soldering on with your own work.

Maybe :) Don't worry, I'm still plugging away - FYI I'm making your padding now so I'll be posting pics of them later :)

Sweet. Looking forward to seeing and then trying it all on, and see what the finished Teryl looks like.
Already planning my next fursuit, an otter if your ever interested in having a go at one.

Sure, I probably won't be accepting any new commsisions until September/October time but I'd love to try an otter <3

pfft. ignore em Schenzi.. yours and Kaz's work is epicly amazing.. dont let anyone tell you otherwise :3

i shall continue to be your walking advertisement. :3

Aw, thanks Roo <3
