Respect YourselfMy friend shared this video to warn other artists about how she was taken advantage of, and I believe this is a very important message that every artist should hear.
I've lost count of how many times someone, be it a big corporation or an individual, have asked me to illustrate for them for free. It will always go something like this "You draw this for us, and we will include your name in the credits. That's good publicity for you!" as if such a pathetic offer holds any merit.
There was one specific case where a guy wanted to use my drawing as a book cover but didn't want to pay. He said he might print up to 50,000 books, so that's like an amazing offer of 50,000 views for me right? Wrong. 50,000 is nothing. We live in the information revolution. Don't forget we have places like Deviantart, tumblr, and all those social networking sites. Sharing art, like sharing any information, has never been easier. You don't have to degrade yourself for some disrespectful publisher to get you art se

INVESTIGATION AGAINST Chad Love LiebermanINVESTIGATION LAUNCHED AGAINST:
Chad Love Lieberman
Craig Pravda
Art4love.com
MarkYourSpot.com
As I have been made aware by at least 300-ish notes, Chad Love Lieberman has illegally taken many artworks from deviantart including mine, trying to sell them for thousands of dollars on their art4love.com and MarkYourSpot.com websites.
(both urls' have been currently brought down for copyright infringement)
Screenshots from the now shut down website:
http://s691.photobucket.com/albums/vv277/Kafai/art4love/
Urls are owned by Chad Love Lieberman and Craig Pravda.
Craig Pravada on facebook:
http://www.facebook.com/LifestYleBroker
Is he Craig associated with Chad? Has he been deceived by Chad? Why does Craig own the url for the site that hosted stolen art?
If you have further information about Chad or Craig, note me.
Stay tuned for further updates.
CHAD IS PLAGIARIZING EVERYTHING:
1)The book he "wrote" is pure plaguirism: http://live-momma.livejournal.com/337590.html

How does a tailmouth work?reposting from my FA journal, I wrote this a while ago.
I've had a few people ask about my interpretations of tailmouths, and now I've really had time to formulate how they live and work I thought it'd be cool to write up an info post!
This is just my interpretation of them - yours DO NOT have to be like this (actually I might prefer it if they weren't). You can change anything and everything, it can be completely and totally different, I don't want anyone to feel like this is the "official" way the species works or whatever.
For a tad bit of info first, in my worldbuilding there are humans, "demihumans", normal animals, and "demons". Even within the world the distinction between demihuman and demon is somewhat blurred though most people consider demons to be demihumans with magic basically. Demihumans and demons are human-like creatures, sometimes fur-covered and sometimes with human skin, that usually have some sort of animal distinction - ears or tail or whatever. Tailmouths are a t

Prices vary, depending on what you want, and I'm NOT limited to these bases you see!
(some of these can include extra little animations, such as blinking, breathing fire and blowing smoke for the dragons, and other stuff you want! :D)
You can choose from any of these bases!  The main price is 25 :points:, but for some of the simpler ones it can be as little as 10 :points: :D
I'll do a set of icons for 5 :points: extra per icon! :dummy:
Also, these icons are generally 50 :points:, depending on what you want, of course:

I can hardly believe it. Is that even normal?!
OK. I forgot to tell you guys about some important things that have been happening, so here comes my year of 2012 in a nutshell!

But they said it would come with a price! :ohnoes:  I would have to work for one year before that (in an office that is, nothing to do with art).
:bulletred: So I got a temporary job with a few contacts, and it was all pretty much what I expected from it: pretty much narrow-minded! Everyone there was 40+, and it was awkward to be the only teenager, besides some other trainers.
I didn't see anyone my age the whole year o.O I even forgot what they look like :ohnoes: no, I don't have any friends :c

Great job, guys! The procedure was successful!

Meet Bunni.
She's a high-energy, hard-working, spirited fun-ball
of laughter, talent, and voracious supernovas of friendship.
She's also an animator.
The pay's kinda okay I guess, better than your average burger flipper,
but not close to other equally hard working people in other jobs.
A couple weeks back, her hard drive gave up the ghost.
Just.
Bam.
Gone.
It stopped working like a unionized chemistry teacher
getting notice of a district labor dispute.
Very suddenly.
Unapologetically.
And leaving everyone else pretty darned peeved.
Trapped within her hard drive are her personal files,
past projects, portfolio samples...
...And the first five years of photos of her daughter, Lily.
Just like her mom, Lily is also a high-energy fun-ball of

Commissions WidgetSome of you may aware of the newest released feature by deviantART- that very long awaited widget/module/space for commission on your personal page.
Here is my thought about it, no, actually a serious concern where I posted there- please read it first: http://comments.deviantart.com/1/347788178/2897698997
To add more: in my opinion I am quite disappointed with that new commission module which have quite childlish feeling (devART, IMHO, represents art as entertaiment which is pushing far away from art as a serious profession in our real world /where in effect many people don't take us, full time working artists seriously etc./ besides of Portfolio release where they did a good job. But when money is involved...) and that's pretty much fast-food commission for quick take and out (points, quick modul and price limit).
That addition of the price limit (which is very low) which may suggest to many young people about fixed general idea of price with art into mentality (art has

Stolen art sold at conventions

Journal Entry: Tue Jan 15, 2013, 12:03 PM








Hey guys! I had a great time at SacAnime but while I was there, I saw a vendor's booth called Hidden Supplies selling *sakimichan's Kakashi painting




I asked her if she gave permission for this or not, and sure enough, she didn't. I think it's safe to say that the rest of the $25 mats sold at the booth were also using stolen art, but I don't recognize any of the artists. Here are some photos of the booth and all the mats are also listed on their website [link]. Please take a look and report the images you recognize to the respective artists so that they may take the proper legal actions against these these people. Thank you! :hug:

Permission should have been asked. This is just wrong and it's a breach of copyright.

No matter where the art came from, the original artist must still receive credit for that work and receive a profit from it. Also, God, people, ask for permission first!

Business is just corrupt like that.
