Rimebane

Possibly the biggest project I’ve ever worked on! This is a massive map of World of Warcraft as of Cataclysm (with a couple extra details). The whole thing was drawn on the computer with a little help from filters, and a lot of hours of drawing. It’s engraved on leather, hand stitched together, and mounted on wood planks. 

I had to adjust the scale and relative position of the continents so I could make them large enough to see all the details and to avoid a huge empty ocean. This was a commission for a client, but I really want to make one with Pandaria included, I think that’d fill it out really nicely! 

I’m really excited about them so I’m sharing a little teaser - my next commissions opening will be for Blizzcon badges!! 😍✨

@rimebane did a sketch of our babs a while ago and I lined+coloured it 8)

Unless signed for in pen or digital signature weather that be an ‘I agree by these terms’ statement or a signature in whole, the client doesn't actually own the rights to the piece of art. 

While the design of the character may in full rights be property of the commissioner/ owner, the art in fact still belongs to the artist itself, each and every piece. It is at the discretion of the artist(s) to grant permission to the buyer to use said piece however they wish. 

Just like an adoptable, we use an honour system, paying money to ‘buy’ these characters. And just like commissioned work, unless signed for in some way through legally binding contract - it does not grant you rights to it. In a sense when people sell adoptables, they are ‘permanently loaning’ the character out.

Every law in every country is different, it gets messy there but in the end, rights go back to the artist. Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong, I’ve dabbled in a lot of copyright and I’ve also dealt with a lot of adoptables. I’ve had to challenge people for my work when it’s been misused in some cases and I’ve been supported by these claims.

I personally don’t care how my work is used, reposted, maybe not too keen on having people sell it for profit on mass produced merchandise, but I don’t have the energy to chase after every person. I’m very relaxed about ‘re-homing’ and ‘reuse’ personally which is this case here. This client isn’t trying to make a profit off of their character either, they are simply seeking financial restitution for years and money’s worth of investments which probably don’t come close to adding up to the amount of money they personally paid for the sum of their collection.

It is on the buyer for not seeking permissions from each individual artist they purchased from, and that’s where people are trying to berate them. I don’t think witch-hunts and cyber-bullying, name-calling is going to help deal with this though. 

It’s generally common knowledge that when someone buys an art piece, they will ask to re-post, re-use, and show it off and that helps provide advertisement for the artists they commission. This person merely wants a return on the money they invested on a character they will no-longer use.

I made a stick man 8) He’s part wicker construct, part necromancy-fleshcrafting. His mum made him after he died in battle as her first successful (???) Drustvar druid “project”.

I meant to post this much earlier, a commissioned piece I bought for myself during the summer. I can’t express my love for how they handled these two characters. I don’t think there’s anything I’ve ever thrown their way that they haven’t been able to draw in the utmost perfection! Thank you for putting up with all my dumb OC’s, I always love your work so much, this piece is amazing <33

Thank you for all of support. I will draw a sketch for the person who supported my kofi. here is kofi menu thank you! :)
