I haven't had a journal in a really long time.

Sooo I want to hear stuff

I want to hear something I don't know about you.

Something you're really ambitious about

and then a random fact!

GO :)

So I hit 1000 watchers yesterday

(woo)

And my 1000th Watcher contest is still going on! Feel free to enter it here!

http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/5297851/


Also I had a job interview at a Music place this Afternoon and it went really well. I could definitely see myself working there. I was pretty excited and it seemed like a super good atmosphere

here's to life!

-Jhusky

So I'm pretty close to 1000 watchers and I want to do something fun so I'm going to be raffling off some art with my character to a random person who enters this contest..

I'd also like to point out that I WILL COMPLY WILL FA'S NEW RULES. So DO NOT.. I REPEAT DO NOT repost this journal. All you need to do is be WATCHING ME and follow my little questionnaire thing that will follow this. Once completed you will get a number and then I'll find one of those online random number situations and that will pick a winner.

On that note. If you decide to post this on twitter or retweet THIS TWEET You will get two numbers! You must also be following me on twitter as well then ^^

I think I've decided on an artist but that might change

So TO ENTER THIS CONTEST

Your name:
Characters Species/REF: (If it's like craz overly complicated I might have to turn you down because I'm getting a deal from a friend for the art^^)
How/where we met: (preferably if we met IN PERSON) (If we haven't met, Tell me something you know about me!)
Your favorite memory of me: (If we haven't met for this one, tell me something you'd like me to know about you!

Also I'd like this to be fun, so at least make a detailed post, if it's just like "I dunno" or "I like blue" I'll just hide it :)

This Contest will end once I hit 1000 watchers :)

I lied. Since I might hit 1000 watchers REALLY SOON. I'd like to extend it to at least a week to get a bunch of people to have a chance at winning <3

It's that time of the year again that we invite our honored guests to our establishment, We're very excited we get to make major bank off these losers, Thankfully we'll never see them but you have the privileged of dealing with disgusting immature man children for 4 days straight, you're about to pull 8 hour shifts of hell dealing with people who have 0 real life social skills or are in any way mature enough to be reserving a hotel room, and you will be receiving 0 extra compensation for any of this!

Have fun!

-Love, Big Hotel Corporation.

http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/4469834/

Whoa! art whore!

my new icon is adorable!

That is all.

As sited in this journal. (www.furaffinity.net/journal/4321085/) I've decided to go ahead and Compose a "Terms of Expectations" I will present to an artist before I send payment..

any and all comments/feedback will be appreciated.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/.....PBH6fdWGE/edit

Recently, as you may or may not have heard, I Started got into a quarrel to say with an artist (which has been yet to be resolved still) because I have not yet received the owed art from them. Well in my spare time I've been thinking to myself how this could have been prevented on both sides. Legally yes I am in the right as well as the administration on the site are on my side, seeing as the artist no longer has access to her account. But I've also thought of things I could have done better. I definitely could have approached a lot of it better. I've also been thinking a lot lately about how I could have better protected myself. I've been witness to both sides. I have a lot of artist friends ( Love you all <3) and when something happens to them they have something to fall back on.

Their TOS.

Now I was thinking a few days ago, as well as I discussed my thoughts with a friend of mine about this. Why can't a TOS exist on both sides? Why can't Commissioners have a sort of "Terms of Commission" to outline what they expect from a project. If artists in this fandom want to be treated like "professionals" why can't the "customers" have some way to protect against themselves.

In the real world (or a world I'm familiar with "retail") We have something called returns. They happen 100's of times a day. When a product fails to meet expectations they return to the origin of the product and ask for a refund.

Now hold up! I know what you're thinking. Commissioning is DEFINITELY different than returns at a store. And 99% of the time I would never ask for a refund. I've gotten plenty of art I hated but I wouldn't ask for a refund just because the nature of this fandom and my respect for it. but I wanted to use it as an example.

What I'm trying to get at is when I accept a commission from a artist I'll be asked (some not all the time, depending on the artist) to accept their terms and conditions. It's usually just standard stuff, refund polices, pricing etc etc. But why can't that go both ways? Why can't the commissioner devise their own policies? I want to type up something simple, just a few bullet points on what I expect from a product. Something like, I wanted a rough due date and listing how to contact me. A few very simple things just to have something in writing in case I have another situation such as the one I'm currently dealing with. If an artist is accepting money from me I would expect they could read 9-10 lines of text before accepting payment.

I know this may sound unnecessary to some. But I consider any and all transactions dealing with legal tender to be very serious. That's just how I am.

I'd love to get some feedback on this before I decide to make one.

I'm looking for Artists who do tf2 theme icons or tf2 Sprays.


I know a few but I want to know who else does them.

Also if you know anyone open, that would be a lot more helpful

Thanks!

-J

so I updated my twitter name...

It doesn't really mean you have to do anything. I just want to let everyone know :P


https://twitter.com/Jhuskymeister

So I got fed up with the artist in question ignoring my notes. (6 to be exact) among multiple other things.

So I posted an Artist beware on her. http://artists-beware.livejournal.com/647289.html

Maybe she'll see it maybe she won't, but no matter what she's on it for life. I hope she learns something!

I just thought my friends should know to be weary of commissioning her. I also want to spread the word in case anyone I know (or you know) was thinking of commissioning her. I'm posting it here because Nobody not many people use livejournal.

From being in this fandom for a few years, I'm come to terms it's basically impossible to avoid things you don't "like" (artwork wise) either from your submissions or from browsing the frontpage, even if you only follow SFW or clean artists, you're still going to have obviously sexual artwork come up in your submissions and a lot of that artwork is going to considered "fetish." Artists do what they're paid to do, and not all the time is that paid work vanilla. But no matter what, every time you see a piece of artwork posted by a popular artist someone WILL make this comment

"I'm not really into XXX.. but I really like it!

or

I really DON'T like XXX fetish.. but I find this SO hot~"


Every time I see this comment, which I've seen 100's of times. I always try to interpret what they're actually trying to say and thinking about it too hard makes me irritated. Most of the time I see it as "Hey I'm not a sick fuck like you for commissioning this fetish related art, but for some reason that makes me feel like a horrible human being, this piece of artwork gives me a rager" I really just find this example of commenting such a backwards way to do it. Why do you have to defend yourself? Why can't you just state "wow, I really like this, good job." Why do you have to let 500 furries know "hey just so ya'll know.. I'm not into this sick shit" Why can't you just like something for what it is? If you really do like it.. just say you like it?

These are the things I think about when I browse submissions. I feel as though everyone's guilty of this at some point,. I know I've gotten it on a few of my taur submissions. I feel (though I can't find any particular instances) that I've done it at least once and just don't understand why I couldn't have just left it out. So I just wanted to see what people thought about it is all.
