I tried to take a request for /vg/, made this and didn't feel like drawing anymore.
I want to draw, but I don't want to draw and I don't know what to either. None of the requests on /vg/ sound like much fun to draw.
With the new character design I decided to finally make a new avatar and stop using the years old colored up version of Erika that Graph drew. I’m gonna shade it up later~
Feels good man
Tumblr mobile is pretty neat.
Might as well post a WIP since I don’t post much of anything.
Also need to get back to programming but procrastination and nojob… I’ll probably have to start over after how much time has passed.
Went to Planet Comicon downtown
It was pretty neato
The COG soldier I never got the character's name and the announcer just kept calling him 'The Bear'. He got second place I believe overall. Ornstein got first for video games. ODST guy never joined up, just there to hang out with COG guy and the Mandalorians were in the Star Wars area taking pictures.
I made some drollings in the Vindictits thread. Namely, Chara-something, some Vella I saw like once tried to break their stuff and ragequit, but failed, so I drew my character politely asking for their stuff.
Then I started making more captions... And more... And more...
Then I found out I hadn't saved the PSD after finishing it...
A while later I drew whyjpeg seeing whyjpeg's drops (whyjpeg no lifes the game into glory, taking all of the drops and leaving me with none. :c )
The first took 9 hours, the second took 4 hours.
I said I'd draw Graph's character Mattie, but I didn't know what to draw, so when I was looking over her reference sheet, I saw her cow pastie design labeled "Mattie's last line of defense" and immediately thought of it as a Small Shield.
I tried to emulate the graphics in Vindictus and stylize Meushi Mattie's normal outfit to look like something from the game, even managing to stay to only three colors per piece which is why the hammer is only black, white and gold.
I named the Shield the 'Line of Defense' and the hammer 'Cowpat'
I haven't been able to get online for about a month, so I'm at my aunt's house and she still has my Tumblr in the first 9 boxes of Firefox from back when I showed my cousin that Danish archer, so I decide to scroll down my dashboard and catch up... After several minutes of scrolling I've only gone down to 1/24/2013.
I'm afraid to know what it's like if you follow more than 21 people.
I finally hit Level 70. Now I can play with the cool kids and get cool dargon armor that I'll never be able to afford! And I got hats! 14 hats. Spider Nest Silk Hats. 37,660 gold from selling them.
Maybe now I can get productive.
An attempt at a first person animation, that I noticed doesn't have any recoil and I can't easily fix that now so I'll probably never finish it.
Maybe it's just his beard, but he doesn't look too happy.
/v/’s birthday card for Gabe.
The Internet has spoken: And it hates Mitt Romney exactly as much as it loves giant boobs.
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.
Now YOU TOO can have a Contacts List made by Not-Microsoft that may/may not work 60% of the time, all the time.
Post, The First
I should probably start using this for something, so why not to update drawan and game dev stuff?
