Respect, Permission, Credit and much more - RANT-
10 years ago
About art and the world.
If you don't care, or your sensitive, or have anything whiney, negative blah blah blah shit- stop reading and click away. That simple.
________________________
Im about to share my own views on what's okay and what's not. So here it goes.
Referencing: An artist puts a lot of practice, time, and hard work into their art itself. The pose, the characters, ect.
If you see something by an artist you like-- Admire the work. Watch them if you want, favorite, and leave a comment respectfully asking something along the lines: "I really like the work you did here. The pose is spectacular. May I reference this pose?"
Then patiently await their answer and respect the answer you're given.
If they do not answer you- Do not reference.
If you DO get permission? Wonderful! Ref away!
BUT
When you upload this piece, you should credit the artist for the original pose properly. Something like:
"______ was kind enough to let me reference their pose from __-original picture link-_____!!"
That is the right, most respectful way to go about it. I guarantee that more artists and their watchers/fans/whatever would be much more fond of you. So long as it isn't tracing.
Reference means you look at it and try your best to get it to look like it. Or just like, use it for proportion purposes.
Another thing
If we wanted our work traced/copied/referenced blah blah blah
We would state so in the description.
Like lineart.
If it's free to use- READ THE RULES, respect the rules, and you can use it freely for what the fuck ever. That's what we make it for. A generous gift to all of you out there. All we ask is respect and for you to follow the rules we lay for it. and 99.9999% of the time, one of the rules is "Credit me for the original lineart" and some people cant even do that shit. They either don't mention the artist at all, claim it as their own, or upload it with no description.
Is it really that hard to do, people?
If we give a gift like that, you should at least show gratitude in the form of respect.
Respect, permission, credit.
Not that hard to go by people.
One day all the real artists are going to quit supplying all the thieves of every way, shape, form, and fashion out there. Then where will y'all be, hm? Lost as fuck, forced to truly work for artistic skill if you aint too lazy for that when the time comes.

~~WARNING!!! The following is about to get very dark, depressing, fucking angry and it's about the world and bullshit 'humanity'.
Don't want your vision of the world turned to shit?? Turn back NOW.~~
I cant wait for the end of the world man, it's gonna save everybody's ass. It needs to hurry up and do away with the world already, man. I said it a million times and I will say it a million times more until [i]The Day comes..[/i].
The city is shit. The world is shit because the humans are shit. We shoulda damn well known when the Indians were fuckin' slain that this place was then founded on the grounds of "Fuck you".
Man I love life. I really do. But i'm getting fuckin' tired of seeing the same damn shit every damn day of my life.
Houses are getting broken into more frequently, People gettin' shot up for no damn reason, our cops are getting slaughtered like the pigs they are, shit now a days you cant even put gas in your car without someone firing off lead at you just because they can.
Babies getting child abused so damn bad that every bone in their small body snaps in half or shatters totally.
Suicide man, now a days kids are 8 years old wanting to die because school bullies and the stress or just because their parents don't give a fuck about them until it's too late, then they wanna bitch and yell at the kid and all that shit. So then they walk away feeling depressed, alone, trapped, and OOPS the next day they're strung up, bleeding out, over dosing, screaming at themselves in the mirror, whatever they can do to make it stop.
The sexuality shit?? Man that's getting way out of hand. "They're gay they're ruining everything all they do is blah blah blah"
Bitch- fuck you. If they aint all up in your face trying to force their ways on you, why the FUCK do you give two shits about what they do and don't do? Why don't you focus on other shit besides their life.
Meanwhile all this bullshit on the news about sexuality, and their rights and all that jazz, racism is right along side that!
This racism bullshit is way out of whack. Everybody pointing finger like fuckin' preschoolers.
Everybody's gettin' shot, everybody's getting raped, beaten, jumped, pregnant ass 11 year olds, everybody's gettin' cancer, everybody's having a baby to further OVER POPULATE this piece of shit world, and just...bruh.
I'm an Athiest, but dude...the CHURCHES are getting broke into and shot up on the spot. Just for being Christian. And even though I give no shits about that what so ever, it's just like...Really bruh? You know you're gonna bet busted for that bullshit then I- ME! I'll have to hear all about the Church and the religion and blah blah blah and how your dumbass stormed up in there with a gun and shot everybody and their momma.
I don't wanna hear that shit, bro, why don't you have any chill?
Then the other day I saw people ripping up forest land to place another damn useless "just because we have the tools to" building. I look back? All I see is fuckin' buildings. Factories. Refineries. Black smoke puking out of the tops and churning from the tail pipes of cars. I wanted to puke. I literally gagged at that shit. The more people there are, the more people die, the more forests/nature dies and sooner or later??? There will be no fuckin' plants to provide out oxygen. Then scientists will probably say some bullshit like "We have the technology to make artificial oxygen that works like the real thing!! :D"
FUck you. Fuck the world. Fuck the people in it. Now a days it's "You have to do this, you HAVE to do that because if you don't you go to prison and all yo shit gets jacked"
"America~! Land of the free and home of the brave"
LMAO!!!
We don't have a choice to o 80-90% of the shit required today!! HAHAHA!! Land of the free...oh..oh that's too good.
Im not suicidal but looking at the world today makes me not give two flying fucks about if something chops my fuckin head off or if I get mauled by a cougar that's been chased from his habitat by humans. I really...I'm starting not to care about life. Even art is stressful now days. Always gotta worry about someone stealing your shit. Too much drama for me man. If someone held a gun to my face today i'd probably tell them "Do me a fucking favor. PLEASE."
I'd love to see the end of the world but im beginning to wonder if life's drama is even worth it.
BUT im not going anywhere. I've got dreams to fulfil, and time to kill until then. October isn't far off and hopefully that month will be better and i'll be a little happier. If you've made it to this point? Kudos. To reward your forever reading, this rant is now over.
