Good Things! + Art Theft...
9 years ago
Alrighty!
First I want to announce I am finally in the
Trusted_Artists group!
But it wouldn't have happened without the help of the wonderful artists who recommended me.
And for that I am eternally grateful. Which is why I am going to make them 1 free drawing to express my thanks.
Seriously, I don't think I could ever thank you guys enough. Hopefully this will help me gain more fans and commissions. Hopefully I can make more of a career out of my drawings!
On top of that, another place was interested. And after two interviews I just need to wait and pray they hire me.
It's a 50/50 chance, but here's hoping!
Even with a job I will still work my ass off with my drawings. I just need SOME way to make money. I need to get back onto my feet already and this is the only way.
Last thing I want to talk about is an art thief who stole the likeness to one of my drawings.
Here's what happened...
It was originally a commission(Not for money though, for a game)but after so many conflicts I decided to say fuck it and take back the rights.
I won't lie, that WAS a dick move. I did it out of anger, the dude REALLY pushed my buttons.
Later after we "made amends" he decides to scold me, threaten me and even manipulate me because I took the rights.
So now we are back to where we were. Out of each other's lives....This time hopefully for good.
I can forgive easily. But when you manipulate me, and drag my friends into it, then that's it. that's the kind of shit my mother did and I will not have it.
Only this once did I take the rights to that drawing. Sorry, but I don't regret doing that now.
Whats worse was he posted a drawing(Using the art software SAI that I GAVE him, just throwing that out there....), deliberately stealing the likeness and then attempts to once again rub it in my face even though I was not mentioned.
I'm not dancing around this, that pisses me off. Even more so I couldn't do ANYTHING about it, I tried already.
Sorry for ranting like that. I don't mean to sound like a whiner, but things like that really get under my skin...
For now I'll just let it go. I still own the rights to my character and WILL use it to how I see fit. If I can't do anything, neither can HE.
I also won't mention names since he didn't either. Plus I am respectful and want to avoid conflict. But if asked then I might note about it.
Again, sorry for the rant.
Thank you guys for supporting me and sticking with me for so long.
Let's make the best of 2016!

but after the shit he pulled a couple days ago, I just....
I just lost the will to give a damn.
I don't want this to ruin my reputation though...
I might just delete the drawing altogether.
I have things to look forward to. I won't let things like this hold me back.
And I'm sorry to hear about the art theft man, even if you didn't handle the situation as well as you could have, it's really not a situation you should have even been put into.
I don't play that way. I'll try my hardest just to ignore people like him.
If only it was that easy in practice.
I don't randomly steal characters from people. I make my own interesting ones~
