My Real life at the moment is a little more important than deviantart. Please be patient as I sort things out.
I am.....Overwhelmed with the responses to my work, comic, everything. I....appreciate it all I really do, don't get me wrong. I am usually a very quiet person and very low confidence so this response really does intimidate me a lot. And Cause I cannot be on the computer as long as others I really do fall behind in checking stuff and it piles up and yeah....It scares me a little. I fall offline and well. This is where I end up. Stuck and writing an apology journal!.....
I am young and
stupid, you guys just need to forgive me on this disappearances I do. I have started college this year- a last minute decision by myself, studying animation (Long overdue) I have felt my work has been increasingly stale and needed some direction. I am really happy with my course and am working hard which is what I need. I will soon find time to get back into the swing of things, I just need time to settle.
Because of the responses to everything I really need my
commissioners to step up and note me again. I am really sorry but a lot of replies have been lost under many people trying to contact me. Commissioners are a little more important than the others so please just hold on so I can sort these guys out first. If you have given up on commissioning me then you do not need to contact me.
The comic is being worked on as is the group image. There has been some problems I have seen arise with this. If you delete your account you will automatically be pulled from the contest. I do not want to waste my time doing this.
This has already happened, I have completed four pages with a character of someone and then they have deleted their account I hadn't had a chance to talk with them how I was doing with their character and colour work......So I have had to
trash these pages cause I have no contact with this said person. I would like everyone to please check that their submission is still linked here >
guardianofire.deviantart.com/j… . If the link is not working properly I will need you to note me with the
correct link. Thank you!
Another problem is that I have not been able to respond to is people asking permission to use my theories for a pokemon comic.
Please do not.
There are a couple of reasons why I feel strongly against people using my 'fan' theories.
Firstly, Realistic pokemon fanart is becoming more increasingly popular. It's a great way to test your ability to take someone's character and show it off in your own style. A GREAT way to show employers how YOU can use this skill on recognizable characters. Plagiarisms is VERY serious in the real world. People must learn sooner than later; Copying without referencing, credit or other such knowledge to an original artist can devastate your career. It can even put a bad reputation on your head so no university will ever take you in let alone any employer! It will follow you for your life.
Secondly, If everyone does the same thing then fanart just becomes a giant blur of lifeless mass of scribbles.... I encourage you to create your OWN theories, I would even be happy to help you and throw in my ideas of how to evolve your theory.
I do not like to share my original work because of this and I have had in the past employers ask for my deviantart. So What have I got to show them....fanart blur? No, original ideas using known characters. I am trying to evolve the series a bit into my own world. Which I would think employers would like to see.
I hope that clears up the important things. I may not be able to post stuff for another two weeks...But soon guys, I promise! Pages are inked and half coloured and check the contest page so I can continue the group pic!
Oh and, Llama Badges are love <3
