FA can be a bitch filled place...
Only a few people read this journal so I often feel that I can be more open here about my feelings.
There was some drama on FA between an artist I know and everyone else knows. He's a popular guy and gets lots of work and is over all very rich just in commissions and commenters and what not. As the story goes he was told by someone to redo my pic because it was a good idea and it'd be neat if he did a version of it. So he does it and he posts it to his gallery and just gives me a small little credit at the bottom of the pic.
When I 1st saw it I was confused. The only thing that was in the comment box was a "^_^" and my 1st thought was, didn't I do this already? Did he forget that I did it? Did he get paid to do this cause someone didn't like my version enough to be satisfied with it? HOW DARE HE!
So yeah I was mad and I over reacted, cause when someone does a version of your picture without showing the original, the original usually gets over shadowed cause it's not fresh and new. I assumed the worst and wanted to make it clear to people that I had done the idea 1st and he failed to give me more appropriate credit.
In the meanwhile the people watching this drama start to express their own opinions. There was hardly little support for me as most people assume I was getting to hot headed for all of this, but I wanted to make a damage control before the picture got to far out there, and it was too late as that version is on Rule 34. When I finally got an answer I wanted to make this situation go away as fast as it could, but it seemed that people were more ready to support him and piss on me for "cencoring" his art. Even after a solution was found, he makes a "BAWW" journal and everyone hugs him and loves him for his moment of stupidness, while I'm over in my corner admitting my faults in the matter and being the strong one.
While language is mostly to blame, I have to blame the fact that he was a guy and just didn't think. If he had any mental ability he'd think of a few things to do before the drama broke out. 1) He'd show the guy to my FA account. 2) He'd ask me if it was ok to copy this picture. 3) He'd offer ME the opportunity to redraw it rather then do it in his ugly style. In the end I'm made out to be the bad guy because I wanted to protect what little strong hold I have in the world of porn. While it was a stupid argument to have over a stupid picture, I wasn't about to let him get away with it without proper credits.
Because of this drama I feel like my latest picture did NOT get the attention and embrace I thought it would. I love doing obscure 34 cause there 34s that need to be done (like more Felix 34 to begin with). While it's not a 34 people wanted I enjoyed coloring it. The background was done with some different techniques and brushes I havn'y used before.
