Dear artists...

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!

someday I wanna actually do that guard ponies comic :U

This was such a big hit. I’m surprised to see his tumblr deactivated. When I first reblogged this, I didn’t knew it would be so popular. Kind of sad to see he didn’t keep his tumblr

In honor of hitting 69 followers I will be giving away this small shopping cart I found in the trash at work (I’m a janitor so this isn’t as strange as it sounds, I find all sorts of crap). You do not have to be following me, and I will ship anywhere in the world on my own money. If you would like to win said small shopping cart reblog this post by June 30th! Winner will be chosen at random.

I get feels just by looking back at my previous post, goddamn it

I offered a bottle and someone else gave a damn barrel.

SkyWing: just a bottle? I'm sure I could accommodate that request somehow, unless you want an entire barrel instead.

Bad news...

                                                                                                                                         I thought this was going to be over, but once again, bad luck has struck. No food for the rest of the month. Im just not having the best of summer this year. Paying these bills is really straining on our lives. Well, we need help, and right now, I need $25 to get some food. Any form of help will be accepted. Ether by donation or commission. Im so sorry for this, but thanks for the support some of you have given me.

Roger do your thing

This hurts in so many levels

Coming

Some

As a gamer, we all look for a comfortable and sturdy controller that can keep up with our inputs and last long as the console it is intended for. I myself have gone through different kinds of controllers from original to bootlegs that won't last a month, from 3rd party companies to straight copycat jokes. So where does Champ land? Obviously, it is a third party company product, but oddly enough it doesn't specify who made it, not even where. The Champ Wired Gamepad is an Android gamepad with P.C. and PlayStation 3 support and sells for 499 PHP on Kimstore. Link to their site here: http://www.kimstore.com/ The box is smoothly printed and it feels like a legit product but the lack of information makes me feel a bit dubious of it. You can see the gamepad clearly, but we'll get to that. On the back is an illustration of the gamepad. Again, no information about the maker. Inside is the gamepad in a plastic tray. The contents include a USB 2.0 about three meters long, a USB 2.0 male to USB micro 2.0 which is less than a meter, a clamp for Android devices, an instruction manual and a driver CD. Holding the gamepad surprised me. It was light and felt like a wired Xbox 360 controller. The analogs and buttons just screamed Xbox 360 as I pressed them. The direction pad didn't, but I couldn't place where I’ve felt them before. The buttons felt just right; not so hard to press, but also not too soft to easily break. The shoulder buttons were perfect for me since I never really liked the PS3’s Dualshock 3’s shoulder buttons or Xbox 360’s trigger buttons. They reminded me of Dualshock 2 shoulder buttons. The design is like most gamer-oriented products; black and small clear parts. Since this also works for the PS3, there is also light indicators in front, which is different from Dualshock 3. I like this design aspect since you don't have to tilt the gamepad to see which player number it is set on. The cables didn’t feel cheap and that's a good thing especially if you think of carrying this around for your Android device. The manual is detailed enough for anyone and is actually helpful. Time to test it. After placing the clamp in on the gamepad, plugging it in on my Android device lights up two lights in the gamepad. Seeing it lit made me appreciate the design more as the clear parts made it look cooler. I tested it on Bully Anniversary Edition, and the game detected the gamepad. It felt like playing on a console with it. Interestingly, I can also navigate my home screen with it. I also played a Gameboy Advance emulator with it and it runs well with it. Next is on the PlayStation 3. I took of the clamp and plugged it in with the long wire. It works perfectly fine. I played Tekken Tag Tournament 2, Soul Calibur 4, Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle, Metal Gear Solid V Phantom Pain, and Gran Turismo. Needless to say, it responds well to fighting games and I actually prefer using it over my Dualshock 3 controllers. The vibration function also does its job well. So, what do I think of Champ? It’s a good gamepad. If you have a PlayStation 3 and an Android device you game onto, then this gamepad is for you. While it may suck to play on wired on the PlayStation 3, it's a really comfortable thing to hold, just watch for the wire as you play so you don't trip on it. For its price, you can’t really complain that it's not wireless.

Never blame your fans

I know many of you artists - whether you draw, write, or compose - are frustrated that your original work, especially your dream projects, aren’t getting the responses you were hoping for.

I feel the same way.

But some of you express your frustrations completely destructively and blame the world for not giving you the spotlight.

When you do that, you’re blaming your problems for existing rather than adjusting and compromising to solve them. You’re making excuses for your mistakes. You’re demanding the world to change but you are not willing to change with it.

This is the perfect mindset to NEVER succeed in anything, ever.

You need to accept some basic truths of art before you can go any further:

Your art should teach you as much as or more than it teaches others: If you claim your art opens horizons and widens minds, yours should be the first priority. You cannot speak without listening. You are not a righteous prophet enlightening the heathens with the true word. You are one humble person and your art is one humble person’s story.

There are no new stories, but there are always new storytellers. That amazing idea you have that nobody’s ever thought of before? Someone has. But nobody has told the story your way, or drawn the character your way, or sung the song your way. Art is not about being new. It is about being you.

Popular art is all about the beholder. All these shows and games with so much fan art? They got to that level because they command a personal investment from and serve the viewer - they have worlds their fans want to be part of, and your canon will be swept aside along the way. You the artist are not a god or a wise sage. You are a guide and a footman. To be an artist is to be humanity’s servant, not its lord - and there’s no shame in that.

Most of your fans are not artists or art critics. While there will be a good number of them in your fanbase, the vast majority are not going to be super-open-minded creative thinkers who value every single opinion, outlook, and story just because it’s done technically well. They will be ordinary people with ordinary, selfish interests, and they will care about your content more than your talent. You have to balance what you want to draw with what everyone wants to see.

But the most important part of being an artist or really a person at all is to understand this:

Nobody owes you success.

Nobody is under any obligation to pay anything you produce a second glance or support or promote it in any way.

Nobody is spiting or robbing you by not giving you a like or a reblog or a follow.

Every single gesture of appreciation you receive from someone is a courtesy - a gift that you earn, not a right you’re entitled to.

It is not the job of your audience to love your work. It is your job to make it lovable. And just because you are working really hard does not mean you are working in the right direction.

I know that thousands upon thousands of artists put hours or months or years into a project and feel like they get nothing in return. Sometimes it is not how hard you’re working but what you’re working for that is the problem. 

Sometimes you need to slow down and think, “Do I have to have this just so? What would the kind of person interested in my work be looking for, and where can I address it? Am I maybe taking myself and my work a little too seriously?” 

And a lot of artists don’t realize that as an amateur, you are the sole proprietor - you are your art. Whether people like you determines whether they like your art.

And that’s why when you blame everybody else and post ungrateful, catty garbage like this:

… you don’t subsequently become the next Toby Fox.

The simple fact is that people will pay you attention if they think your offering + your hassle are worth their attention.

You need to create a world that someone other than you will have fun in and you need to be a good host to everyone who visits. 

You need a world that will welcome your fans with open arms.

You need to build a world people can live & play in.

And you and your world need to appreciate your fans just for showing up.

Because this is exactly what the big fish do.

because they spread your work around to more people without shanking you on credit and who gets the likes

because they make your work show up sooner & more often on searches and are simply a nice gesture

because they take time out and pay good money to listen to your story and make you from a pauper into a prince

because if you appreciate no one, no one will appreciate you, nor should they

That man deserves to be an actual Overwatch hero

Imma just put this here.

My brother needed this. Thank you.

Just reblog. You never know who’s life you might save
