And hello again, all followers, friends, acquaintances, and passing users! I guess we made it to September now, so it's time for another boring monthly update! :D
Firstly I am SO GLAD AUGUST IS OVER! I had a hell of a month. A really bad one, to be honest. I tore a bicep muscle, and between getting that treated and having to go through alllllllllll the new fun loops at work as a result of the workman's comp, I was left with no free time, one arm I could use for anything, and lots of worry and annoyance bottled up. And even as my arm has now gotten better, I spent a good chunk of the last few weeks feeling wildly depressed for very little reason... but anyway! Things seem to be on the upswing again! I have both arms back, I have a bit more free time, I can draw again, etc.! GOODNESS AHEAD!
So I'm excited to draw more! Especially because there are plans to do some collaborating with one of my favorite artists and friends,
3033 !
Look forward to that! I am! :D
...and on a less-cool note, I've had it brought to my attention that a certain user around the internet has been displaying/posting other artists' Mass Effect works or pictures of peoples' characters without permissions or copyrights or sourcing or anything.
In the process of trying to talk to them about removing other peoples' works until they got permission to use it, I instead now find myself blocked and the conversation removed entirely. The stuff they had displayed on DeviantArt is also gone, on the upside, but things on their personal webpage are still there.
So I just want to make other Mass Effect artists and commissioners to be aware of an internet user named Drtraumaty, and to know that they may be using images you've drawn or had drawn for you, without credit, on sites around the internet. Without permissions or credit.
...and I'm not posting this here to drag them through the mud - but to make their username visible to the community, so you can check to see if your own stuff is being used, since their breaking copyrights in this way is forcing us to be proactive against them, as they've turned down the opportunity to be civil or use common sense in their use.
The user's name, across multiple sites, is "Drtraumaty"
Just a reminder to all people passing by: Publicly viewable does NOT mean it's public domain! We like to share, but that doesn't mean we're passing the picture out to be taken - it's displayed HERE, in one spot, by us, unless otherwise stated!
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand after all that, there's only one thing left to add:
I hope everyone passing by has an awesome month! With luck, it'll be a lot better than August for all of us! :D

THE SHORT VERSION:
August wasn't very fun, feeling better, ready to draw (with R-B!), be very aware of your creations being used without authorization by an internet user named Drtraumaty, and have an awesome month!
And yeah. If they don't want to play nice and not be a dick that violates peoples' copyrights on random sites around the internet, then we can just publicly make our community that we like and respect aware of that fact!

Pretty damn annoying, really. Especially considering how they've reacted to reasonable requests to either get permissions or remove the images.
Its just a shame really.
It'd just be nice if like... people were allowed to share and enjoy each others' works and characters WITHOUT having to go through these kinds of stupid hassles for no good reason!
Thanks a lot for the fair warning, too. Have any of us tried reporting him? It can be effective; I once had to report someone years ago on dA for hijacking someone else's account and I got an immediate response.
Hope you have a good month ahead of you, too!
