It got reported and deleted for art theft, so thank you, whoever did that. Much appreciated. I now have to send in a permission agreement form from myself to myself so that I have permission to post my own work here. It might require some time traveling, though. I don't know if my Self of the Past would ever allow my Self of the Present and Future to take credit for the hard work of my Self of the Past.

(Once I get over the hilarity of this situation, I might start to feel annoyed at the idiocy of it all.)

In other news, I'm planning on taking part in the 30 Day marathon in July run by ~sc-parade and =HowlSeage. Go check it out or maybe join, y/y? Even if it's not something for you, there are some awesome artists participating that you should totally watch. 8D

PS: Summer school sucks. Never let anyone talk you into it, especially not yourself. OTL

Because, afjklddfja;sdfjk;s @ pixeling with that on?! *cries*

Fixed. 8D

*just spent 10 minutes installing her tablet*

PS: In case you're wondering why I switched to Vista, my brother broke the graphics card on my old computer, and this computer's been lying around the house for months, so I figured, "It can't be that bad, right?!" and no, no, I was wrong.

Sadly, what I miss most is Play!... I got to this point where I was going to fit the lollipop maker with things to hold in her hand, but that requires coding, which requires time, which I don't have! \o/ I also want to start 4378934 new dollmakers. *lazy but ambitious?!*

My sentences have become very convoluted and my paragraphs chunky. I'm not sure if I can type properly anymore. D: But that's okay. I don't have time for rambling... which is exactly why I started typing in my LJ again?! D8

(hatemylifeeee)

So how is the dolling world at large? Did anyone make anything awesome or start any fights* that I should know about? I'm too scared to lurk the doll forums again... who knows when I'll ever see the light of day again if I do. DXXXXX

* Medley got moved back to pixel art bases the other week, roflmao.

Pickachu!

Don't really know how that actually happened though, since I didn't include any perspective pieces or anything all that interesting composition-wise.... but hooray anyway! Unfortunately, I don't know if my university will count that as anything useful, and I don't know if it would actually benefit me if it did count as a waiver for my basic art reqs. Did I mention that in a continuous and delusional moment of financial-inconsideration, I've chosen illustration as my prospective major?

I don't want to go back to school. 8<

Pickachu!

Hello, GD. 8] A little over a week ago, my base set was relocated from the Pixel Art > Base gallery to the Miscellaneous > Base gallery. I had sent a request to the Help Desk inquiring as to why this was done and was told my inquiry would be redirected to the appropriate people. However, since it has been some time and I have not yet received an actual response, perhaps you could explain the reason behind my base set being removed from the correct category, where it had been for 11 months?

Much thanks,
~zipple

Hi Zipple!

I am so sorry you have not had a reply from the help desk, I have two queries which have just come through today for the first time in a week...I bet yours is amongst it!

However, I answer my notes first!

I can really understand why you are confused at the move, as your bases are not only a lovely group but they are most certainly PixelArt.

The problem I have is that you used computer generated text on the piece and as much as it is not part of the individual pieces of work it is still on the body of the work. Items displayed under the PixelArt heading should not display any computer generated effects....such as computer generated text.

This is something I try to be consistent about with all the artists displaying under PixelArt. It may appear unreasonable and I can understand someone feeling that way but it is an effort to be consistent with every artist displaying under the heading of PixelArt be it in the Doll Gallery or PixelArt Gallery.

As to why it took so long to move....time pressures of what I need to do here. I have an ever growing 'must do' list.

If yours' is one of the help desk queries on the list, I will just briefly repeat what I have said here.

Best

Ann

zipple said the following:

Well, I thank you for your promptness and hope I am not taking up too much of your to-do-list time.

However, yes, I do find it unreasonable and furthermore, not at all consistent. I say this because the majority of base makers in the dolling community include text on their bases to some degree, and many choose to include their full terms as I have for the ease of dollers who like saving them to their computers. Looking at just the first few Popular (All Time) pages of the Pixel Art > Base gallery, it's clear to me that this trend applies to base makers on DA as well, yet their bases (sans many KiSS bases) are all still in said category, where--and I know this for a fact due to my frequent visits to the gallery--they have been for longer or shorter periods of time than my bases. Might I also mention that you have featured at least two bases as Daily Deviations, both of which should have, under the no-text reasoning, been removed from the gallery as well.

While I don't wish for any of my fellow base makers to have their bases moved for such a silly reason, I fail to see how my relocation was possibly based on an issue that champions consistency, considering that the Miscellaneous > Base gallery shows that my base was the only popular, non-KiSS base included in the move. However much I cannot logistically agree with your original basis for the move, I am now much more irritated that my work (and the work of multiple KiSS artists, whose practice of tracing images I don't even agree with) has not, by any means, been treated in the fair manner you described.

If there exists a reason that would single my base out for relocation but not other dollers', I would like to know of it.

Regards,
~zipple

Hi zipple

Once the moving is allowed again I will continue to move work with generated text on it, out of the PixelArt section. "Betty" is not 'clearly' computer generated text to me. It is the sort of grey area where the artist gets the benefit of the doubt from me. However obvious large quantities of generated text will be moved. Where there is a small amount of computer generated text on a piece I will take it on a piece at a time and probably approach the artist to remove the text, but I really can't go through piece by piece of other peoples' work and comment on it with you.

If you are concerned about your work being stolen, perhaps a small circle with a 'c' in it and your initials close to the base, perhaps the foot. <... ]]> ~zipple http://zipple.deviantart.com/journal/18913597/ http://zipple.deviantart.com/journal/18913597/ Wed, 18 Jun 2008 14:27:26 PDT
