Artistic Infringement

FAQ #8: What does deviantART consider to be Art Theft?
^THIS IS YOUR BEST FRIEND.

Let's be frank. Those of us who have any sense know what art theft, art ripping and the like is.

I'm so sick of seeing people who spend their time SLAVING OVER THE COMPUTER AND THE TABLE TOP WORKING SO HARD ON THEIR ART WORK just to see the work DOWNLOADED, MESSED UP/RECOLORED and/or POSTED by SOMEONE ELSE claiming it AS THEIR OWN. I mean really. Half the time, offenders are complete idiots who don't know simple English and have an IQ of 50. :|

Please, report the people who have stolen art, colored over art WITHOUT permission and et cetera. Thank you.

I've got to get my priorities straight… =.=;

Journal Entry: Sun Jul 12, 2009, 1:29 PM


Cool, I got a CSS! :D

*Contains Christian information, if you don't like it, go away.

Life would be way easier if I did so. My last year was living heck because I didn't properly manage school, DA, art and Church. I'm trying to do better this year with August coming faster than I thought it would.

I'm working as fast as I can on the requests without butchering them. I'M DOING QUALITY WORK FOR YOU GUYS, PLEASE BE PATIENT. I'm just trying to make you happy with your requests is all. Bear with me, okay? I'm going to upload the sketches that I have so far, but that doesn't mean that I'm done. Okay? Okay.

:bulletwhite: Church Related Events
-The Kansas City Crusade for Christ was a great time. I never knew about it until this last year. In 2010, it will be at Washington D.C., and the speaker for span of the Crusade said he'd write a letter to Obama to get him to visit. :excited: Who knows what'll happen? :]

-Our Young Warriors presentation was a success too. I had to read our motivating scripture. (I Timothy 4: 12… I think. XD) You should read it too some time.

-My sister has gotten permission to coordinate an art exhibition and poetry slam at our church, which I'm really looking forward to. ^^ Problem is, since I'm her sister, I'm going to wind up helping with the advertising and spreading the word. X'D I also plan on having an exhibit though… God willing. Sadly, I'm a girl of many talents, and I have to decide on which medium I want to display without doing too much. (The mediums are Visual Art, Beadery and Poetry. I can do all three, believe it or not.)

-A youth lock-in is supposed to be held the same day as the art gallery/poetry slam. Why, you ask? It's because the people in my age group are very easily bored. =.= It irritates me a little. I do like the way my sister coordinated this though. Our last lock in was very underwhelming, after all. Go Cierra! :iconherotimeplz:

-There's another trip to Omaha coming up soon- a trip to the Zoo. We get a group-discounted price of $30 per person. I'd really like to go to Omaha again too. J

:bulletblack: Manga and Fan Concept Information
We all know that I am the type of person that has millions of ideas that run through her head, but doesn't carry them out well or not at all. I guess that aspect of me would make me a pretty good concept artist. Anyway, in the last 3 months alone, I've got at least 5 fan concepts... maybe more than that. ^^; Most of the time, I have ideas just from doing rough or non-essential drawings.

-"The Ultimate FC Collaboration": (This is a prototype title. The official name is pending.) I'm kind of hogging !MsShadowette's character, "Momo" on this one because of 1.) the strange physical resemblance between our characters and 2.) Momo has a significant role in the story. I guess it's safe to say that she's the main character. :D It kind of plays out like Sonic Adventure 2 battle where people mistake Shadow for Sonic even though we think that they don't look THAT much alike. XD So, that's what I truly plan on working on first, simply because I need to test my comic making skills on this concept before going out on a limb for my official, original concepts. Me and Jazz have discussed the idea a little, but it has yet to take shape. I'm not exactly promising anything either. If this does take off, I'm sharing credit with all the other creators of the characters being involved.

-"Kingdom Hearts: Diminuendo": I rambled about it a little bit in my "Presto al Fine" picture. I stayed up for 7 hours coming up with the idea. This is why I'm so tired right now. XD It all started out with a gift picture I was drawing for a -now graduated- Senior at my high school. (Who acts and sounds remarkably like my older sister, Cierra... O_o; )
She wanted a poster pic of some random girl who could control fire and ice. I drew it, but I hated it... so I tried again. I decided to give her a Square Enix style getup because PEOPLE, YOU HAVE NO CLUE HOW OBSESSED THIS CHICK IS WITH KINGDOM HEARTS... well, next to "Wicked". XDD Then, I started drawing a random guy who is now Presto. Diminuendo revolves around Presto, to get a grasp on how dearly he loves making music. It doesn't involve Sora, Riku, Kairi, Donald or Goofy at all (I'm kind of sick of them, lol.) This concept goes deeper into the intricacy of the Heart and the Soul and goes slightly into the background of Xehanort's obsession. Great, as if Kingdom hearts couldn't be more confusing. XD This is the kind of concept I would love to animate. :D Again, I'm not promising that I will actually carry through. Don't get your hopes up too high.

-"The Lion, The Storm, and The Fire": I'm still working on it, don't worry... it's just taking really long because again, I'm trying to straighten things out request wise and what not. This story isn't really super important... It's just a vent for my fangirlism towards Squall. XD I am actually testing my plot making skills with this story and work on my pacing. I am also trying hard not to make Kaji a Mary Sue. I'll try and at least complete Chapter 2, but after that, no promises of continuing.

-"Muse": This concept is one where I actually need loads of help. This concept is important to me, because I want to debut with this Manga. I want the concept together before I do serious work on it. The story is about Oekaki, a daydreamer and concept artist. He likes to draw pictures that have a story behind them. He especially likes to draw his character Risa and develop her into a very realistic, down to earth character. In fact, he tries so hard one day that he gets frustrated with artist's block, school work, and family problems. Risa comes to life and tells him not to give up on her when he's come this far. The phenomenon scares the crap out of him, and leads him to question his own sanity. After that, I've got nothing. I want to incorporate the use of art tools (pencils, pens, and what not) into the story. If you can, note me on some help with the concept. The subject should be "Muse". I'm not working on drawing it, I just want the concept in mind so I can work on it more in the future, God willing.

-"Elemental Infantry": The concept is fresh and clear in my head, but the matter is execution. I have a storyboard for chapter one, but that's it. I need 4 more chapters for a whole first volume, and again, I'm not ready to begin serious work on this one yet. I want this to be a fan favorite like Dragon Ball and Naruto. Sorry I got your hopes up, but this is the way it's got to be. ^^;

-"The Guardian Angel Project": This will be a Shoujo Manga. This will likely be a 15 to 20-volume manga too, as I don't want to draw it out too long with the plot being the way it is.

Name's Lex! I'm 15 years old and I'm an attention defective hyperactive manga artist! I'm african-american and proud of it... though I actually have a hint of caucasian in my blood. ;P I don't appreciate any "white/black" humor.

:bulletgreen: LIKES
-Humor
-Beautiful Artwork
-Animation
-Different Cultures
-MUSIC, OMG. It keeps me in art and clinically sane. Specifically, I like rock music and R & B Music and Marching Band (ESP Drum line, oh man, they rock. :D)
Being a complete dork (Wouldn't trade it for the world. X3)
-Yuri/Yaoi humor, I'll admit it. But that's all. :giggle:
-This part of DeviantART: [link]
You should read it. :|

:bulletpurple: DISLIKES

-I am not amused by art thievery. AT ALL.
-General Unoriginality
-I have attention problems, so I have a hard time finishing projects... ^^;
-Ignorance. :|
-Unnecessary nastiness.

Moving on...
I love Manga and Video Games, and VGs are typically my muse to [try to] create manga. (Hopefully anime too...) Funny how that works, huh?
Digital Art FTW BTW. B-)

Spyro
DB/Z
Sonic

REQUEST INFORMATION

Requests are in progress, and I'm not taking any more. IF YOU DELETE THE REFERNECE FOR THE CHARACTER THAT I'M DOING, THE REQUEST IS NULL AND VOID. You should know that.

.:UPDATE: July 1st, 2009:.
Well, I've deleted the request slot for :iconTeckriC:, so that's that. I never got the references. Also, if anyone can let me know if !Miyu-Choco-Brownies AKA !silverXmiyu4eva has a separate account, that would be appreciated. If not, I'm sadly deleting her request too. It seems harsh, but I have a lot on my plate. :( Also, I had complications with my Flash Drive AGAIN. :faint: So I had to get a new one. I'm further behind than what I would like to be, so just to let you know. ^^;

.:UPDATE: July 4th, 2009:.
=allana-the-hedgehog's request is off. She's moved accounts and deleted any and all references that I could use to finish her request.

------:movingon:------
Those who have requested, DO NOT claim the work as your own. If you haven't noticed already, I give credit to the creator of the characters. But remember that I am the one who made the art. I will send you a copy of the work at your request (via NOTE.) if you wish to put it in your gallery too. (Note me to ask for my e-mail address.)

DO NOT NAG ME ABOUT YOUR REQUESTS. That will make me go slower. >.>

Hey um about the art trade. On my side of the deal, I did manage to finish the sprites. But when my comp broke, it affected the files, so it got deleted. DI

I'm still going on with my side of the deal. You don't have to send me your end to seal the deal. :)

Sadly, I've already sketched Jacko, and I'm kind of unwilling to change my mind. ^^;
