Everyone on my Tumblr dash, PLEASE watch this. Especially if you are a creative artist:
Adobe is going to scrap their hard copies (disks) for their software (Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, Flash), and have you pay a subscription for the latest software called the Adobe Creative Cloud. $50 per month. Could you really afford such an expense in the long run?
This is really disturbing. Please hear what he has to say, it really is a serious situation for working artists. Pass this along so others may know about the Adobe Creative Cloud and how horrible it is.
Yep… Just went to see how much Flash costs. You know, to just buy the program? Guess what? After spending a while looking, it appears that you CAN’T anymore. You have to pay an outrageous subscription fee. I hate adobe. Is there a petition going around to stop this nonsense? Because I want to sign it.
Thanks! I know a lot of artists and people who like art follow me. You guys should go sign that.
Today I just signed the petition in the voice against the Adobe Creative Cloud. For those who are not familiar with what the new Creative Cloud can do to you as an artist, I really suggest you watch this video.
For those who have seen, reblogged, faved, here’s the link (as shown in the previous reblog) to sign the petition. Anything can happen, Adobe really needs to know that many artists are not supportive of them controlling not just the software..but the content worked on the Cloud.
Signed! Boosting the signal, I prefer to be able to buy my software.
I’m not going to fucking SUBSCRIBE to Photoshop. What the fuck do you expect me to tell people, “sorry, can’t do your commission this month. Couldn’t afford the Photoshop rent”?
This is why I use Corel Painter :|b So few people seem to and I don’t understand why. It’s so much cheaper, super versatile, and doesn’t have this bullshit surrounding it :/
we need some brilliant programmers out there to write something better than photoshop, maybe something versatile and open source? i’d crowdfund that.
There is the GIMP, but in my experience… it is NOT user friendly, and nowhere near usable for professional illustration.
veer nyc is trying to break $2,000 by tonight (which would only be day #5!)! Help us out! About half of our t-shirts are already gone, so get them while you can. Also, does anyone want a pizza party on us?
I’m not an androgynous woman, but I can completely get behind this idea.
Thanks to some last minute notices from a third-party, my mother and I are now saddled with extra bills because of it. Unfortunately now, we’re just scraping by paycheck to paycheck, so a couple extra dollars would make a huge difference.
Gonna keep things real simple for this tho. These will be the same as above examples: single format (1 character per picture), duel-toned, bust sketches.
(but, if you’re interested in getting one of my normal commissions, they’re listed here)Pretty please email me at vestien@ymail.com to request a commission. Do NOT send me any asks, esp since lately tumblr isn’t letting me reply to anything…. Once I’ve accepted your request, I’ll give you my paypal and will start work after receiving confirmation of payment.
I’ll draw, or at least try to, draw anything. Ocs, fanart, fictional characters…(nothing real gory please). if I feel like I just cannot do your request, I do have the right to decline.
Also, I always have an extra bonus if you order a commission from me. When receiving your final picture, I’ll send along a coupon code to get 15% off at my storenvy
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
If you make Mass Effect things
http://brogames.tumblr.com/ (the auto play is fucking horrid)
is likely reposting your things
(RE AC and TESV as well but not full fucking sets)
In the terms of using this website, it says that anything we post (like graphics, gifs, etc etc) we hold ownership to. And by reposting, this guy is stealing our property. Which means we can most definitely report his ass for it, if I’m understanding the terms properly.
pretty sure you can do that
i got my photos taken down before so
signal boost for other people? i guess…:3
Could you give a brief explanation of how you did that, like a walkthrough of the steps or maybe a link of where to submit a complaint so we can pass that around, too? Thanks in advance!
That is possibly the most obnoxious reposter Tumblr I’ve seen in a while. BROGAMES HERE OMG BROGAMES I’M GONNA SAY THIS ON EVERY FUCKING POST BROGAMES
I’ve seen a lot of posts on my dash tonight about users who are threatening suicide, with other Tumblr members posting in effort to try to get ahold of them. I think you all should see this:
IF THERE IS EVER A TUMBLR USER WHO HAS POSTED A GOOD-BYE MESSAGE, SUICIDE NOTE, VIDEO, OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT, PLEASE FOLLOW THIS POST.
1. Scroll to the top of your dashboard.
2. See the circular question mark icon at the top? It’s the third one over from your home symbol. Click on that, and a screen similar to the one in the picture will come up.
3. Where you can type in questions, the box with the magnifying glass at the top, type in the word “suicide.”
4. Click on the first link that shows up. It should say, “Pass the URL of the blog on to us.”
5. Type in the user’s URL and tell Tumblr admin that the user is contemplating suicide and has posted a message indicating that they are going through with it or will be attempting. Hit send! Tumblr administration will perform a number of actions to contact the user and take the necessary steps to prevent the suicide.
TUMBLR: THIS COULD SAVE A USER’S LIFE. PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE SUICIDE THREATS.
Reblog this to keep other users aware. Suicide isn’t a joke, and neither is someone’s life. If you didn’t know this, someone else may not, either. Pass it on.
Axe says they’re “scouring the world for a few brave men” to send into space.
The current leader has less than 3,000 votes. The runner up has less than 700 (and they’re taking the top two). That’s nothing for you, fandom.
Vote for me HERE. How awesome would it be if a woman (a fangirl, no less) actually won this thing? Sherlockians, Whovians, Potterheads, Trekkies: I want to be your impossible astronaut!
Okay, we need to vote her up just for this sexism alone please
For the first functionally clad woman in an AXE ad!!
voting because i want her to get her rocketship
Chitter chatter.: Please!What are you paying for? If it’s for an item that is physically...
Please!
What are you paying for? If it’s for an item that is physically being shipped to you, then by all means continue!
But if it is for digital art, please reconsider!This means that paypal is expecting me to ship a physical item to you!
And the more times that I receive money for goods, and do not ship through them, the more it counts against me.
Too many and paypal can elect to hold my funds for thirty days every time I receive them, until it reevaluates my account.
Which means while the customer has their deserved art, I do not technically have money yet.
So PLEASE always send payment for digital art via SERVICES and not GOODS!(you can get a refund if need be just as easily by selecting services as you can goods!)
Reblogging because I’m considering opening commissions more this year and this is helpful information for commissioners and clients alike.
Reblogging for my commissioners.
oh wow, i didn’t know this. apologies to all the people i’ve commissioned and done this to!
Reblogging as a PSA to those who buy digital art, and to help out amateur artists online. :)

Signal boost this, please. 500 notes isn’t enough.
ART THEFT: Mass Effect artists and supporters, pass this along.
A bunch of new facebook RPers have recently been stealing a lot of Mass Effect art without credit or permission and in many cases are heavily editing the art in question.
Pass this along, if you’re an artist have a look through it and see if you can spot any of your original artwork being used without your permission. If you don’t see any of your art please still reblog this so that other artists can be aware and do something about it.
I can literally spot dozens of artists that are being stolen from—particularly artists that own and post their work to Deviantart. I’m encouraged to message all of the artists individually about the theft as I know a lot of them don’t have tumblrs but I figured this was another way and potentially more successful and faster than messaging each and every person and explaining the situation (I have done this very thing before when my art was stolen on a website.)
So please, give this a look through if you are an artist, and if you don’t see any of your work or even if you aren’t an artist, if you respect any of us please pass it on!
