2D Art

Call me crazy but why do I feel like the artist of this viscet might be somewhat if not mostly copying a kal I own?

No. You do not get to say that and have people defend it. Nowhere did they say now, they did not demand, Griff has done over 30 viscets since then and more than likely anon has anxiety over pming anybody to remind them as they don’t want to seem rude or brash and would rather safely say it here to avoid the attacks such as what YOU just did.

Grifforik, I’ll elaborate on what anon said, yes please do the RUS- but at your own pace; this was just a reminder and not anyone screaming at you. Any time thats reasonable for you is good. Sometimes people need reminders and thats okay. We all know you didn’t mean to let them sit, its just hard to keep track of a lot of things.

As for you, Mint Chip, you are making the problem worse by attacking them for using this blog to try and remind Griff, when they were anything but rude.

It may not be the best way or fastest way to pass a reminder, but it was not a demand. Your artists can very well take care of themselves and if you’re gonna be a rampant bull on anyone who tries to remind them of their past duties or make suggestions then you probably shouldn’t bother with the blog at all or keeping tabs on stuff people say. It doesn’t help you in any way aside from make you seem more unbalanced and spastic; something unprofessional.

If you want to avoid that, then maybe when you see something that makes you angry, try to understand it before spazzing out and gather your thoughts on the issue; then face is calmly.

No one wants to pm or talk to angry and mean people about an issue. I avoid anything that has to do with confrontation in your species because of it. From the things people say about you, you already come off extremely harsh in pms on a site where /kids/ are. You dont have to be everyone’s friend, just polite.

Remember that not everyone can read your mind, and its not cool to assume any different. Understand them and approach them in a calm manner and of course they’ll come to you with their questions and concerns. Otherwise, don’t rudely police their choice of communication when they’re respectful.

It doesn’t feel good to be talked over and yelled at like an illiterate child for being concerned or even for making tiny mistakes at all.

it doesn’t have any special intelligence. it’s just a normal space roomba. there are other space roombas on the ship and they don’t have knives. it’s just this one. knife space roomba has full clearance to every room in the ship. occasionally crew members will be talking and then suddenly swear and clutch their ankle. knife space roomba putters off, leaving them to their mild stab wounds.

“what is the point?” asks the alien as another crew member casually steps over the knife-wielding robot. “is it to test your speed and agility?”

“no it doesn’t really go that fast,” replies the captain.

“does it teach you to stay ever-vigilant?”

“I mean I guess so but that’s more of a side effect.”

“does it weed out the weak? does it protect you from invaders? do repeated stabbings let your species heal more quickly in the future?”

“it doesn’t stab very hard, it gets us more than it gets our enemies, and no, but that sounds cool — someone write that down.”

“but then what is its purpose?”

Details: Six (6) members of a Mercenary/Pirate crew of little renown attempted to infiltrate ship in order to steal equipment and/or personnel.

Prior to being detained they had remained undetected for eight (8) hours and accumulated several high value materials (see attached log), and incapacitated and restrained several crewmen (see attached log) in dock #3, with the intention of using a life boat to exfiltrate.

Just prior to their would-be escape, the boarding party encountered the ship’s mascot. A cleaning unit which had been modified by crew members to mount a traditional Terran melee weapon, as well as an officer’s insignia (having been jokingly given a commission by the Captain the night before). Curious, one picked it up, before realising the mounted weapon had a nickel finish (highly toxic to their species) on the handle, and dropped it in a panic.

As the unit’s anti-impact sensors had been disabled, it immediately tried to right itself on landing. This caused it to flip over and slash the third knee of the boarder who dropped it, prompting the rest of the boarders to flee. In doing so, they tripped over a waste container, causing the unit to “chase” them, as it collected the trail of dust they left.

The security crew were alerted to the boarding party’s presence by an entry on “Sargent Stabby’s Hit List” - an account on an intership microblogging site which automatically logs any injuries caused by the cleaning unit in question - and quickly intercepted them.

Casualties: Four (4) crewmen treated for minor lacerations sustained after detaining boarding party, one (1) captured crewman treated for negative reaction to sedatives used by captors.

Belligerent status: Two (2) members of the enemy boarding party remain in stable condition in sickbay. Three (3) remaining surrendered peacefully and remain in the brig. One (1) refuses to leave the safety of a storage cupboard he went to ground in.

Recommendations/Actions:

All captured guards to undergo debriefing and possible disciplinary action for breaches of security protocol.

Remind all crew members to report missing colleagues immediately.

Retain a guard outside cleaning storage room 87 until the final boarder can be coaxed out and properly detained.

1. Staff have every right to buy a dA adopt if it pops up, and Howling was just in the right place at the right time, I think we tend to have our dA pages open more than you guys.

2. We can’t ‘just make adopts’ if we wanted, we only have 5 custom slots like everyone else. 

3. Howling is the nicest person dude, I can’t believe you’re getting salty at her,

4. I have just as many Viscets as her, as do many of the new people, and you can ONLY WIN A CERTAIN AMOUNT A MONTH. Jeeze, read the new rules. Also, as an artist we literally DONT GET PAID so I don’t get where you think all this privilege comes in, we do a lot of work, like heck of a lot, judging, putting together adopts, making batches, and we’ve just as much right to adopt or PAY FOR an adopt as normal members. Get over yourself, just be faster next time.

5. Put more effort into getting adopts like Howling does, when she enters comps she ENTERS them, the problem I see here lately is; NO EFFORT going into form. If I say you have unlimited story and you write three sentences but the other person wrote a novel, you’re not gonna win.
