I logged in quickly earlier, and there was a really vague news post which hinted at some sort of change coming soon, but nothing about any maintenance, so Iām really ????

Thank you ā„
If I managed to survive 2013, I can get through this~ Though I wouldnāt say no to being treated by a rather *cough* lovely Irish doctor, like I was that time I embarrassingly had to take myself to A&E...
@tsyele replied to your post:LOL, granting all rights to the image would cost at least in the thousands. This person is clearly targeting small artists with little experience. Warn everyone.
Glad to know I wasnāt overreacting. I actually (sort of) brought that up when I sent them a private message, and well...
Me: Plus depending on what you plan to do with the finished pieces it could also staggeringly increase the price of my work.
Them: [insert 2 paragraphs about how theyāve had bad commission experiences in the past, then going on about the dA/RPG thing] This shouldn't affect your pricing though, as it's not being re-sold in any way, unless you are under valuing your work.
Then after that they reiterate that the artwork wonāt be resold, and that theyāll be the sole on owner of it.

@shippeh Firstly sorry for tagging you like this x.x; but since youāre a super spiffy mod over on the site in question, is this (the last 2 paragraphs & tags) something I should bring up with a mod onsite? Since the userās wanted ad doesnāt state their full intentions upfront, and inexperienced artists may not fully understand what theyāre signing up for, and what ārightsā theyāre potentially giving up, so to speak.
@tsyele answered: From what I understand, dA is a platform supposed to expose and promote /your own/ work, so I find it weird even with crediting. You wouldnāt put someone elseās work, even if you credit, in your portfolio.
@herkal answered: I have seen a lot of dA people doing that⦠Personally i donāt like it, at all, because itās a āthatās my workā gallery, not like a blog or even an FB page where you can put/reblog stuff that arenāt made by you.
@elvenbeard answered: Even with credits given Iād find it an odd request? Like⦠your dA account is for your own works, not for posting the works of others, I thought. Idk, maybe it says something about that in the dA terms of use or something?
Firstly, thank you all for replying!
Secondly, Iām glad Iām not the only one who shares this opinion. Iām general pretty fine with people posting their commissioned piece offsite with credit, but with places like dA I agree, itās definitely a āthatās my workā kinda site.
While Iām not actually interested in the ad the user posted (which prompted the question), I contacted them to clarify a few things since there was something about their post which seemed off. Plus they were being super vague about what exactly they wanted.
Now that Iāve gotten more info Iām not sure if I should advise them to clearly state what they intend to do with the art, and that what theyāre looking for isnāt just āpersonalā art (even though theyāre adamant it is). As, along with posting the work to dA, they want to use it for some sort of ARPG game site that their āfriendā is coding for them. A little more specifically they were looking for NPC art, and templates that other users could use. I donāt know, it was super confusing, but what I do know is that isnāt just a simple āpersonalā commission.
@solitarysmith replied to your post:Really wish I could decide what I was...
FIRST TIME finishing ME3? Oh, thatās a doozy. But I hope you figure out what youāre doing with the art!
All I could hear last night was āNO! Thatās bollocks!ā
Iāll figure it out, Iām just over thinking it (like usual) atm. xD It might be best if I just move onto the next piece. Hopefully, with another bigger piece to compare it to, Iāll be able top figure out what direction to go in~

@werewolfau said: is there someone you can go with, so that if she asks, youāre going as an ally? or even pretend-a-friend?
My little brother is studying there at the minute so I could use him as a scapegoat, but heās a pain in the butt to contact, and Iām not sure if heās finished for the semester. Heās also 19, and living in student accom with 4 other lads, in what's been dubbed āthe partyflatā. Yeah...
Still though, it might be worth a shot, IF I can get a hold of him.
One of your art trademarks is definitely the level of detail you go into when painting faces, you do it in a v chracteristic way!&the way you do light, it looks like your pictures are filled with warm, fuzzy spots of light from the inside, its great!
Thank you! ;u; Iāve been having so much fun playing with lighting lately, itās probably my favourite thing to do drawing-wise atm!
