SO HEY you may’ve noticed that I haven’t been doing as much streaming lately. Why is that? Well,
I’M MOVING! YAAAAAAAAYyyyyugh.
Yeah man, packing sucks; but you know what sucks more? Not being able to work and make money even when I’m done packing because the internet will take up to a week to set up at the new place, so here’s what I wanna do: I’ll be taking up to twenty commissions at stream prices (that’s $45 for up to three characters, done up in my shaded sketch style) to work on while we get everything settled and working at the new place. Payment will be required up-front so I’m able to live and eat until I finish these commissions and can begin streaming again, and I’ll begin posting these commissions in batches of 4 or 5 as soon as I’m able.
ALSO I’ll be offering colored commissions using a similar price plan. For a flat $100 you can get up to three characters colored in quality similar to my most recent colored work.
Color Examples: [X] [X] [X] (backgrounds not included)
Interested? Simply send a note to my weasylor via tumblr messenger including your commission details, any relevant visual references, and your paypal information for the purposes of invoicing. I’ll be sure to confirm whether I’ve accepted your commission or not and add your name to the list below as soon as I pull myself out of cardboard box hell am able!
British healthcare has decided not to fund the prescription of PrEP here in England and I’m absolutely fucking furious, along with a lot of other people.
My wonderful friend Stephen has had his petition passed and it’s now available to sign, he wants it to be debated in parliament or at least seen or heard.
You must be a UK Citizen and all you need is an email address and a name, it takes roughly a minute to sign and is incredibly simple to do, PLEASE do not let this go unnoticed, this drug is an absolute game changer for HIV.
Thank you for your time, even if you’re American please reblog this so all your British followers can see it too, this is really, really important, I can’t stress that enough.
I would LOVE to see a Gargoyles reboot that stays true to the original, in atmosphere, writing, and story. But for adults, because let’s face it, all the parents these days are hyper-paranoid about their precious children’s oh-so-fragile psyche.
So. Reboot Gargoyles and stay true to the original series on Adult Swim or something of the like.
Or better yet: continue Gargoyles because it’s not finished. :)
This could be fun (or extremely depressing)

Please!~
Please!!!
Sure
please send me some of these numbers
^^
Since I don’t do as much as I would like on my tumblr, this would be a good way for you guys to get to know me more.
Please!!!^^
ooh, this should be fun ^^
Sure why not ^^
Please!! I’m bored so please!?^w^
So bored. Ask me anything.
TOTALLY BORED! ASK ME ANY!
I’ve never done one of these things, so sure, why not? I’d be interested to see if anyone actually asks me anything.
No, I’m not going to link back to your page. I edited out your ugly signature too. I paid for the art. It is mine.
Don’t worry, this does not mean I take credit for drawing it. When people ask if I drew it, I say “Nope.” When people ask who did, I say, “Sorry, I don’t remember.”
Just because I bought your art does not mean our profiles have to be linked forever. It’s the same if I buy an apple from the grocer. I don’t have to keep the sticker on it or tell people where it came from. I’m not a walking advertisement for your shop.
If you want credit so badly, then I should get a cut of your future profits for my part in the advertising.
I know I’m probably going to get the wrath of whiny, entitled artists for this, but I don’t care. I won’t be making a shrine around their art dedicated to them. I paid for a service, and now we should go our our separate ways!
alright so there’s a lot of fucked up parts in this post but?? right off the bat?? “I edited out your ugly signature too”??? I’m sorry but that’s really stupid?
if you bought a physical, painted-on-canvas drawing, would you still go through the trouble of trying to edit out the signature there too? Because literally the only difference between that scenario and this one is that the canvas can be physically held and displayed, where the digital painting stays in a digital venue.
Do not be a dick to artists. Fucking don’t edit out their signatures, credit them where they are due. Don’t be like the asshole OP. If you commission an artist, respect them enough to credit them.
Dear people who think like OP;
Please do not ever fucking commission me. My signature is an A, but I don’t care if an artist’s signature is a giant fucking watermark half as big as the piece. If you cut out their signature, you cut out their effort. Do you have to make a little URL tag that links back to my page or DA or tumblr or whatever? No. Would it be nice? Yeah. Is it a good habit to do anyway? Yeah.
But unless you’re paying me USD and we’ve made it part of the agreement that my signature will NOT be on the art- leave the fucking signature on the art. You purchased art that has the signature. Once you alter it, you’re violating our purchase agreement. The artist produced that art for your agreed upon purchase price with the understanding that what they were sending- signature fucking included- would remain on the piece.
If they knew that you were going to use their art independently without any sort of remaining credit like that, then the price very well may have been different or they might not have agreed to do the art at all.
Damn, OP Edgy McEdgerson is really proud of being a dickhead. No one’s saying you’re linked forever, and no, “I didn’t draw it and don’t remember who did” doesn’t absolve you, you chucklefuck.
SIGNAL BOOOST
…Although, as an artist, I have seen some completely horrible signatures on tumblr posts. Sometimes they’re so obnoxious that I hide the comments on a post and tag with something like “Artist’s comment/source in the original post.” Not because I hate artists, but because I acknowledge that artists aren’t always the best when it comes to brevity.
When I show my stuff here on Tumblr, I keep whatever DA link came with the automatic sharing of the post. I include a comment about the work if I feel it needs actual context, but otherwise I just have the link to the original post on DA and to my profile on DA. That’s it. I don’t link Facebook, Twitter, Etsy, Flickr, Instagram, and whatever other god forsaken social media people can easily find me on.
My advice to artists? If you want people to know your social media connections and other display sites for your art, keep a list of links available on your Tumblr and other websites. If the idea of someone removing all your links from your comment really bothers you so much, maybe you should do your fans a favor and keep the spam in your comment to a minimum. Have a contact list on your sites and keep it at that. And if you still want those links in your comment on your work, just link to “contact” and link that list of sites.
At the risk of stretching your dash. Let me tell a small story. the story is:
IF YOU COMMISSION AN ARTIST.
IF YOU COMMISSION AN ARTIST.
IF YOU COMMISSION AN ARTIST.
CHANCES ARE THEY ARE GOING TO WORK VERY HARD ON YOUR PIECE
THEY MIGHT EVEN BE ANXIOUS BECAUSE THEY MIGHT TAKE A LITTLE LONGER THAN EXPECTED
SOMETIMES THEY LOSE STEAM HALF WAY BECAUSE LIFE THROWS OBSTACLES IN THE WAY.
IF YOU COMMISSION AN ARTIST, THEY WILL HAVE SPENT TIME AND EFFORT ON YOUR PIECE. THEY MIGHT HAVE GONE THOUGH SOME TURMOIL IN THE PROCESS OF MAKING IT. BUT IN THE END YOU WILL HAVE WHAT YOU PAID FOR.
IF YOU COMMISSION AN ARTIST AND YOU ARE HAPPY WITH THEIR WORK AND WHAT THEY PROVIDED, THE ARTIST WILL BE VERY HAPPY AND PROUD. THEY WORKED VERY HARD ON IT! THEY PROBABLY WON’T MIND IF YOU SHOW IT TO OTHER PEOPLE, IT WOULD HELP THE ARTIST A LOT! (BUT IT’S OKAY IF YOU DECIDE TO KEEP IT TO YOURSELF TOO….)
BUT IF YOU COMMISSION AN ARTIST…
AND YOU SEE THE ONE SECTION THAT TIES SAID ARTIST TO THE PRODUCT THEY WORKED SO HARD ON…..
….AND DECIDE TO TAKE IT OFF
YOU HURT THE ARTIST EMOTIONALLY…..
IF YOU COMMISSION AN ARTIST AND EDIT THEIR NAME OFF THE PIECE….
YOU ARE SAYING “FUCK YOU ARTIST, I COULD HONESTLY CARE LESS ABOUT HOW MUCH TIME AND EFFORT YOU PUT INTO THIS. I PAID FOR IT SO OBVIOUSLY I DESERVE TO TAKE THE CREDIT FOR SOMETHING I HAD NO HAND IN BESIDES PAYING FOR IT TO BE CREATED.”
IF YOU COMMISSION AN ARTIST, DELETE THEIR SIGNATURE, AND SHOW IT OFF, YOUR FRIENDS WILL ENJOY IT AND SHOW IT TO OTHER FRIENDS. THOSE FRIENDS MIGHT WANT TO BUY SOMETHING SIMILAR! BUT THE ARTIST ISN’T GETTING CREDIT FOR IT BECAUSE YOU ESSENTIALLY TOOK THEIR WORK AND CLAIMED THE WORK, EFFORT, AND SKILL FOR YOURSELF, ALL BECAUSE YOU PAID FOR IT. (SOUNDS CRAPPY RIGHT?)
IF YOU COMMISSION AN ARTIST
CHANCES ARE PEOPLE DON’T KNOW WHO THEY ARE. CHANCES ARE THEY TOOK THE COMMISSION TO PAY SOME BILLS AND REALLY NEEDED THE MONEY.
IF YOU COMMISSION AN ARTIST AND DELETE THEIR SIGNATURE….
chances are you are not the first one to do that.
This so true
This is important!!
Well, a commission is usually a non-commercial usage deal, so they don’t have the right to edit out your credits, even if “they pay for the art”. The commissioned art still belongs to the artist, but they give the commissioner limited usage rights (yes, even if it’s the commissioners idea/character whatever)
This also includes editing rights btw. Like “re-sizing and cropping” but maybe not “editing out signature”
So, NO dear commissioner. You can’t just edit out what you don’t like, if it’s not agreed on in the conditions of your contract with the artist. THIS IS ILLEGAL.
BUT THIS IS WHY IT’S IMPORTANT TO HAVE A T.O.S. AND THAT ALL PARTIES AGREE ON IT!!!
This very important stuff everyone needs to know. Please read it all.
