Hmm, well I'd definitely be miffed too if someone used an icon I made and altered it without asking me, plus used it without any credit. So I don't think it would be weird or arrogant of you to message the user. Also, you have it clearly stated in each of your posts that textless aren't bases. Hope it works out fine :)
I don't think that's being uppity. Everyone on LJ should know that textless icons aren't bases. That's just, like, an unspoken rule, ya know? Feel free to send them a polite message. ;)
Omg, your shoes... When I saw that you had tagged this post with "spermies", I was like, "The hell?" Now I understand. ;)
Yeah, I think I might. Makes me nervous which I know is stupid really - hate anything remotely confrontational but as long as I'm polite it should (hopefully) be okay =)
They're great, aren't they? Maybe I shouldn't shock people by calling them Spermies! =D
I don't think it's uppity at all to want credit for icons you've made. Plus you note on your posts that textless icons aren't bases, so it's rude of this lj-er to have ignored that.
I have to admit that seeing 'spermies' on the cut tag made me kind of 0_o? But they're shoes! I am kind of relieved, haha!
Thank you - I really just needed other peoples input before I did or said anything, to be sure I wan't being arrogant or whatever. It did annoy me though.
@3 - no worries at all! I would feel worse if you sent out cards when you couldn't really afford it than if you didn't send them out, honest!
@4 - I would say something to them. For all you know, they might not have honestly known. They have snagged the icon from someone who didn't have credit listed, so they had no way to know it wasn't to be used as a base. Maybe someone else edited it too, who knows? Benefit of the doubt. Just phrase it in such a way that you're letting them know it's not cool, but you're not livid with them, and could the please change the situation (IE take it down, or at the very least, credit you as the base designer.) Let them know you would appreciate it if they didn't do it again in the future, but that you would LOVE for them to send you idea they had, and would happily make alterations for them.
@5 - that is such a design FAIL that it's WIN! That bring SO many bad images into my mind... none of which needed to be associated with shoes!!! *glares*
@4 - I will contact them. I'll worry for ages over the wording (as I'm an idiot) but I think you're right and I should contact them about it so thank you =)
@5 - it's a total design win, not a fail! I adore them =)
@3 - As always, not a problem! It's not like I've exactly been good about card either ;) The internet is cheaper and faster - so for now, this is good for us broke people **hugs**
@4 - If you want, I can "beta" the message; send it to me in an email or something and I'll look it over (from the point of view of that other person) and see how it. Let me know if that's something I can help you out with :)
@5 - It looks like a sperm is swimming into an egg... I don't want to be reminded of bio class every time I put on shoes ;) On the other hand, they are pretty awesome *lol*
