What do you think...
13 years ago
I try to be calm, try never to say anything against anyone or to stir things up, but in this case I'm just kinda left feeling a need to put what has happened with a recent "Your Character Here" auction I won in a journal.
Here's the note I sent them about Stick's look and what ref pics to use:
I'm a little slow today and took a little to remember I need to send you info about my character Stick for your picture. The refs (most NSFW) I use are: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/7883308/ http://www.furaffinity.net/view/7312165/ http://www.furaffinity.net/view/7836781/ http://www.furaffinity.net/view/7194953/ http://www.furaffinity.net/view/7475926/ and http://www.furaffinity.net/view/7194763/
The 4-point and 8-point stars are specifically placed so here's the list of the stars that will fully or partially in the picture you did:
4-point star locations.
-on his back right where his tail meets his back. (this is larger then the others...Stick would be 5"10" if he was real and this star would be 3 inches compared to the 1.5 inches of the others)
8-point star locations
-on right side of his neck, towards the back, about a half inch under his jaw.
-two are on the tail, close together (purhaps like , ' to each other) and about 3/4's of the way to the tip.
-three more sit like ' , ' on his waist, kinda like orion's belt, with the middle one low enough to sit just above the tip of his sheath. (the rightmost one of these three will show)
-two are one above the other on the frontside of his right leg and just below knee level. (these two might partly show)
Most artists place additional 4-point and 8-point stars on him, and that's fine as long as there aren't ALOT of them added.
Also I've done a cheap little "I would like changed to" of the picture to show basically the changes to the tail and penis, plus adding his collar and tailring that I'd like done for my character (the rest of the character will do just fine since my character is a fox). Do you have an e-mail address I can send the pic to? I also drew in the basic position for the stars I outlined above.
Let me know if I forgot anything.
The picture I got was of a rather dark blue fox with like...a million tiny 4-point and dot stars that has no collar and no tailring like my character should. It's not a bad picture, but it looks rather not like my character. Is my note in some way unclear about how my character looks?
I ask this cause I kinda feel like purhaps the artist INTENTIONALLY IGNORED my ref pics and notes about the collar and tailring. The artist had felt offended about the fact that I did some work on the existing rough sketch to try to show what I was saying rather then relying on words and risk a disasterous end result like what I got. And no, I've not tried asking the artist to re-color the pic, they'd have to recolor Stick completely to fix the problem...and by the words they used in our communication and in the issue of me doing an edit to the sketch to try to help them understand me, I think they'd just say they don't do edits so tough titty said the kitty.
So...what do you all think, does this sound like I got purposely screwed or am I just being overly sensitive about it all?
