Birthday bust-up for Milana~! I know that we don’t really talk much, but I till consider you to be an important part of my life. You’re amazing, okay? Happy birthday again!
Don’t repost; just like/reblog!
Thank you so much for adorable gift <33
This doesn’t really have anything to do with art. But I feel this is the place it needs to be said, because the people that will be reading this is the target audience.
Before I get to my main point, I would like to explain that I’m prepared for the worst. I know the consequences of posting…
You have really good points and I agree with you but honestly I don’t mind if someone is anon or not.. actually we’re all anons on internet.. very few peoples know us in real life and if we get into trouble we can always change identity. So being anon or non-anon really makes that much difference online.
I’m amused by it really, you must be truly two-faced to manage it. Because the side of you I have seen is the not sweet sugar dumplings, it’s the nasty side that whines, moans, and abuses artists. You demand your art quickly as if paying freelance rates means they should treat it like their…
Oh my god.. So rude..
I know there have been confessions about this person before but seriously. It’s way past the Paypal claim date, they’ve completely disappeared and their friends are refusing to say what her new account is. Maybe they really don’t know ether and Dezi-Bunny is just that much of a terrible person.

I noted Rini-tan about how tracing. I asked her specifically, about things. and tbh, she was really rude to me. Her last message shock me then she blocked me? She has the right to block me and stuff
but seriously wow.. I’m getting more and more suspicious of her. But wow… Is this how most kawaii desu artists are like, well the one with huge amount of watchers? Just because Miwa let you, doesn’t mean the other artists do too. I wish people didn’t act like this in notes. But then act all cute and sweethearty in public.
PLEASE READ!
I talked with her about this and she said that she’s sorry. She told me that she did rage over someone (seems to be op) and she regrets it. She did wrong and she admits it. I’m not trying to be whiteknight I’m just saying that she did remove that icon and hopefully next time she will apologize (as I told her to) and not rage.
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.
really feel horrible everytime i try to submit something to this group. they never except my work. i know i am not great at SAI but i try my best and i have improved a lot. but it never seems to be good enough for the “PaintToolSAI” group. they are very harsh and dont even recommend on things i can improve on. the group requirements are that you use SAI not that you are a professional Artist. i
find it rude that they dont take into consideration that some artists need improvement. they could even offer an improvement folder. but they dont. they are very rude and the way they treat my art makes me not want to use SAI anymore. even if i improve. artists should help each other to improve not just decline our work and not give any reason as to what is wrong with it.~ Anonymoussubmitted by -Anonymous
They have always accepted my art even if I don’t see myself as fantastic artists either. Just practice more and I’m sure they’ll accept you ^_^
Well you have to start from somewhere. If you find backgrounds hard then just draw something simple.. field, house etc.. Something really simple.. It doesn’t matter what your watchers think. When you learn how to draw them more then you may come up with more unique ideas :)
I lack backgrounds in most of my drawings; most of the time I just focus on drawing characters.And I don’t know what I would use as backgrounds in the first place. The other problem is that if I did add backgrounds, people would expect the background to either be hyper-detailed,…
