oookay so the next list of stuff for sale isn’t ready yet still (I have been nonstop busy for like a week now), and I think I may opt to get more than 3 hours of sleep for once instead of staying up and getting it done. ^o^; So, more tomorrow.
when you want your art style to be more stylized but also more realistic and then you kinda just
You guys are amazing.
Thank you all for sending well-wishes, contributing donations, coming to the streams, and supporting me throughout all of this. It’s made an enormous difference, and I think we’re gonna be okay, now. <:)
I’ll post more updates as I get them, and I’ll compile things from the stream to share over the next couple of days.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
Campfire is starting now! Come and get your draw on!!!!
So as some of you may have seen, my friend is going on hard times and I really want to help her out. As such, we will be doing a request donation stream!
Rules:
1. THIS STREAM IS SFW, this means no NSFW links or talk in the chat. You will be warned no more than once by my mods before being kicked. This is really important to me guys.
2. You may request anything up to suggestive, (meaning kissing or romantic scenes are OK), but NOTHING showing genitalia.
3. The Picarto raffle will randomly pick two people from the chat each time we are finished doodling the previous picture, this will make it fair and clear that we are not just picking and choosing the things that we like.
4. Keep the suggestions simple please. OC’s are fine but let’s try to keep it easy and too the point.
5. Have fun! and even if you can’t afford to donate, just being there and spreading the word helps a ton!
CLICK THE PIC TO JOIN!
Join me and CAMY for the second leg in the donation stream!
I interrupt a long-term hiatus to help raise awareness towards the new Copyright Laws that might come into effect starting next week unless we join efforts to stop it.
A friend and fellow artist, Will Terry, has joined forces with Brad Holland to help us understand what this Copyright Law is all about, here is their message:
“Orphan Works in a Nutshell:
– Congress is drafting a new US Copyright Act. If passed, it would replace current US Copyright law. There isn’t any bill yet, but the Copyright Office has issued its recommendations for one. Their Report is 234 pages long and is very complicated, so it’s risky to try reducing it to a few words. But here’s a summary of its basic features:
It would void your Constitutional right to the EXCLUSIVE CONTROL of YOUR work.
It would effectively reverse the default premise of copyright law; which means…
It would make the public’s right to use your work its defining goal; which means…
You would have to make your work available to the public.
You would have to do this by registering every picture you want to retain the rights to with for-profit registries.
Unregistered work would be considered legally “orphaned.”
Orphaned work would be available for commercial infringement by “good faith” infringers.
Good faith infringers would be anyone who believed they had made a “reasonably diligent,” but unsuccessful effort to find you.
Infringers could also ALTER your work and copyright the “derivative works” in their own names.
This would affect all visual art: drawings, paintings, sketches, photos, etc.; past, present and future; published and unpublished; domestic and foreign.
It would include family snapshots and any picture or work you ever put on the Internet.
The Copyright Office acknowledges that this would pose special “challenges” for visual artists…
But they conclude that it’s in the public interest for your work to be available for anyone to use.
The Copyright Office has also recommended the following:
Mass Digitization of the world’s intellectual property by corporate interests.
Extended Collective Licensing, a form of socialized corporate licensing that would replace voluntary agreements between artists and clients.
A Copyright Small Claims Court to handle the expected flood of orphan works lawsuits.
