StealingArt th

I have not seen anything in my feed about it just yet so thought I would do a poll to see what people were thinking. 

My thoughts are more are less coming down to this: it's a pretty blatant way for dA to re-assert that it doesn't have any intention of taking the art theft on the site seriously if you don't have serious backing to deal with people stealing your shit. And if you have no means to contact them or aren't aware your stuff has been ripped off, you're SOL.

And they're ignoring everyone who said "You guys are lying, I reported someone who outright stole my work years ago and you never took it down or even responded".

They have made up their own definition of theft of art, ignoring the fact that theft of music has already been proven in the court of law - even if it was a not a physical copy of said rendition that was stolen - to be justifiably called theft. This apparently doesn't apply to digital artworks created by non-music industry persons.

This definition is appalling and for me, I am not really interested in supporting this site anymore.

I'm considering my options, and will eventually come to a decision. But I am interested in seeing what my watchers and folks I watch plan on doing.

If I moved to a tumblr or other place that has a better history with dealing with art theft, would anyone be interested in following? I'm not sure how much that impacts me as I do it for the fun and not the watches since I just draw what I want to draw, but.. it's a question I feel is worth asking.

So. 

I am making a baby in my belly. 8D

Thanks to this I like, would really like to make some moneys.

So I will be opening up commissions for SUPER FANCY MID-TRANSFORMATION FANART WOOOOOO!

Like this:




Currently I am asking $30 for this type of commission because holy hell it takes a lot of time. To commission for this, I will need the following:

A reference of your character in their civilian form.
A reference of your character in senshi form.
A description of your character's transformation sequence (as detailed as possible).

Please give me at least 2 weeks to prepare your initial draft as during this timeframe I'll be putting together my design.

I'll update my actual commission journal when I am less lazy. 8D
