Parallax Timeline

Drew up the armor and basic gear for the Cazanan Marines

Updated chest rig for flexibility, mostly bending over and sitting. I'm not sure if the carrier rig would work without the shoulder straps, being only a belt, without slipping down. The leg rig had an alternate strap that went around the opposite hip, but also not sure how that would work with movement. holster wraps two straps around the weapon to hold it, allowing it to hold a larger array of weapons than just the few a molded holster could, including SMGs. Backpack has several quick access pouches and pockets as well as a double zipper that opens it up completely, allowing full access to all main compartment contents.

Gonna ink and color later

So….I’ll try to sum up what’s happening here. In 2008, I designed and modeled a robot girl for a college assignment. I posted them on DeviantArt as I always do, and since then I’ve gotten quite a few people asking if they can model it as well. I always tell them sure, as long as I’m credited with the design. I failed to put my name/info on the image though, so it has been spread around the internet and some people have modeled it without my permission (just for the record you don’t have to sign something for it to be protected by copyright). They usually find out who made it later and gladly credit me. So I don’t mind!

Until someone tries to sell it.

Fast forward from 2008 to now. I find out that someone has been selling a model of my design on Turbosquid since March of this year, and it has made thousands of dollars in profit. I’m naturally very upset about this, so I report the infringement to Turbosquid. At first they seemed fairly courteous, but then I wake up today and find them basically asking me to let him keep selling the model as long as he credits me. Are you kidding? After making thousands of dollars? Note that Turbosquid takes a 60% commission of profits by default, so they likely made even more money than the seller did from my design.

They tried to appeal to pity by talking about how hard he worked on creating the model from my design. HI! I DID THAT TOO!

I just can’t believe Turbosquid is taking the side of the infringer and trying to ignore the fact that they both made thousands of dollars off my IP without my permission. The minimum amount of money made is $2,481.00. I base that on how many reviews the model had, which you can only do if you buy it. However, this doesn’t include any purchases made that weren’t given reviews.

I think it goes without saying that the profits belong to me. It is not right for a guy in another country to steal my design and make thousands from it while I struggle to make ends meet. I have never made a penny off of that character design. To think that Turbosquid considers it fair for me to make nothing off my design while they made thousands is just unbelievable.

PLEASE reblog this. I am an amateur artist. I am not famous. I spent $130,000 to go to art college and haven’t found a full-time job since. My only job is the freelance I do from home. I am not Disney. I can’t afford to have my designs stolen for profit. I am hopeful that with enough exposure of this, Turbosquid will suddenly find the ethics they dropped on the floor somewhere. If this can happen to me, it can happen to you.

PETA

you guys remember when PETA stole people pets off their porches and euthanized them?

you guys remember how it came out that PETA kills about 90% of the animals it takes in, including healthy and adoptable puppies and kittens, stating “ We could become a no-kill shelter immediately. It means we wouldn’t do as much work”?

you guys remember when PETA advocated killing all pit bulls for the crime of being pit bulls?

you guys remember when PETA handed out these comics to children when there were no adults looking?

you guys remember when they made a porn site and then filled it with videos of animal abuse, and (also in that link) claimed cats should be vegetarian?

you guys remember when PETA lied about sheep shearing, got caught, and defended the lie as true even after they admitted the sheep in their picture wasn’t even real?

you guys remember when they tried to excuse their horrifying ways by claiming that the person who exposed them was manipulating the facts by taking them and putting them in the wrong context?

Because I remember. I remember everything. 

And I’m gonna make sure everyone else remembers too. 

"Down with cis" is an actual hate movement....

shut it, clanker scum

I forget Erika I supposed to be a catgirl whenever I draw her it seems and I have to go back and add the ears and tail. Especially the tail.

"I'll just draw a joke picture really fast"

I don't have a "Fast" mode, only Slow and ULTRA SLOW.

What a thing to come back to after having not played for months and even then only little

I keep forgetting to post this, I drew this at Starbucks the other day

Once before when I was at that Starbucks I was thinking about what kinds of animals would be in my setting and one that stuck was the Wyvernling, a little flying creature that could be found in and around Helen's Point, one of the main Cazanan cities. The Wyvernling is 6 to 8 feet long at the largest, feathery/furry and an omnivorous predator. It divebombs small animals, tacking and eating them. I was also thinking of them being an uncommon pet so they should be at least a little cute and pretty friendly. They're too bulky to perch in trees, but that doesn't necessarily stop them from sitting in trees, more like a panther than a bird. They'll have a moderate intelligence, able to understand words and phrases, but not as smart as an ape or raven. They are warmblooded mammals who mate for life and have live birth. They will attack and try to kill creatures many times their size if their young are immediately threatened and they have very sharp teeth and claws which allows them to kill much larger creatures, even if they don't actively hunt them. The lifespan in most subspecies is about 20 years with some able to live 60 or more.

I'll probably draw them much more catlike as that's what I'm currently associating them the most with, big flying cats.
