Oh god, that 15th anniversary badge scared me.
I thought it was supposed to be my forum anniversary, not PA's anniversary, so I was like:
"Hey! I've only been here...
...9 years...
...and 353 days... "
Wait whut. So I had these three The Hobbit posters posted to society6 and now Warner Bros has claimed copyright infringement on all of them. I can understand that the one with bag end was taken down, as the design was very close to the one they had in the WB production of the movies, however the two others contained no design elements whatsoever, that would insinuate that they were affiliated with the Movies. WB only owns merchandising rights to the movies, not the books, that matter belongs to Middle Earth enterprises and as such WB cannot claim that I'm infringing their copyright. What the hell.
I guess you could say that I'm not mad, just disappointed - and confused.
Yeah I've run into that a couple of times on Society6. With the next Hobbit movie coming up, they're likely doing an internet-wide purge and getting rid of everything infringy related to The Hobbit. Sometimes it's because it has the title in the poster, sometimes they'll take it down just because of the name of the poster or because of the description/tags. You could wait until a little while after the movie comes out and put it back up, or take out the title from the poster.
EDIT: I need to post in chat more!
I got asked to do a real licensed poster for a real property, but I'm so new at this that I feel paralyzingly self-conscious. I like outputting work, I can do that part, it's the administrative stuff in between that gets me all anxious. They must know that I have no idea what I'm doing and that I'm just making this up as I go. Sometimes I just want to answer a question with "I don't know, I've never done this sort of thing before."
Huh, thought this was a thread made by a guy named shadow the hedgehog... Not a chat thread... oh well.
I've been kicking myself in the shins lately, because it seems that no matter what or who I try to draw they always "look" alike and I can't seem to get out of that hole... Its pissing me off.
^^^^^ I lurked for nearly 7 years since I remember stumbling across this place in late-ish 2006
I wanted to post but I was a very insecure tween/teen and I spent more of those years flopping around and being sad than drawing
EDIT: OOOOHHHH MY GOD COMPLETELY OFF-TOPIC BUT I WAS LOOKING THROUGH AN OLD DOODLE THREAD AND SOME OF THE PICTURES are so old that they've been deleted from the image hosting server and replaced with newer uploads I guess?
Anyway SUPER-SUPER NSFW LINK but it just made me laugh so much like hey guys check out my doodle wip
One of my former places of employment seems to be going on a hiring spree which really makes you scratch your head and wonder where the money is coming from since they can't even manage making a profit, someone is asking me if I liked it there and how do I politely say it was a total shithole?

Are they unemployed? Field work is better than no work, even if it sucks a lot.

At first I thought you meant like picking strawberries haha. They are but they've been in and out of the industry with years of experience working at larger companies, this isn't a first gig, but it would be after a hiatus.
I totally understand though, I've been there, when you're willing to take what you can get and see how long you can go before you have some kind of melt down from all of the non stop dysfunctional office bullshit. Mm, good times.
Does anyone have any experience setting up a figure drawing class?
I have a group of about 8 people who want to draw, but I can't find any workshops near us. I'm thinking it's time to set it up ourselves.
I've temporarily hosted the figure drawing class I go to. We got the space free from the local comics association to use once a week. For models we set up a Facebook group and posted an announcement on the local paper + put flyers up on the walls on art campuses in the city. Dance schools have been a good source of models as well. Good luck with setting up your own class MT!

well I did, but I think all your posts get updated with your current avatar anyway
