Fuck everything and I have no fucking idea what to do anymore.

My paranoia and fear of every small game I ever been in is creeping back again with TVK now. It's not just me, but Saori has been hit pretty badly by the chain of events going on. It's tempting to drop but I'm going to try to stick to it. In the case it gets too much...I don't know. 

I'm just gonna go on a slowatus for now. Besides I should focus on Mayfield as well. I have been tempted to app to another game, most likely the Library or maybe Southvale. Again this is all tentative so yeah...

RL wise...I'm surviving. Two of my coworkers that I was pretty close to are leaving the company this week. Honestly, I don't blame them. There's too much stupid shit going on with how things work. I need to stick it out some more though. I need the work experience. Most places prefer seeing people work at a least two years that's why. 

I'll find some way to make it through.

DeviantART is allowing TRACING now.


You know, DA, I think the only reason why I'm still on your website is because of all the awesome friends I've made and all the inspirational artists I've been watching. But with this new rule, you just fucking made art theft ethical. I  hope you're proud of yourself.

I know some people have learned their art technique via tracing, but it should NEVER be through DIRECT FUCKING TRACING. Yes, I used previous art to draw my characters, but I used them as REFERENCE ONLY.

Why should I accept some brat's art that was clearly traced from a screenshot, a photo, or my even my own work and they get all the fucking credit when some of us actually pour our blood, sweat, tears, and love into our own work?

I don't know if this rule was created by someone who doesn't think fanart should be considered fanart, but I don't care. Regardless if the subject matter is original or not, it's still art.

Granted, I know I'm just a micro speck in the DA community, but if tracing is going to be considered as a learning tool, put the damn drawings in "scraps", tag it as traced, give the reference fucking credit and don't even think about making it a print. Or better yet, DON'T FUCKING POST IT.
