But... screw that for now. I'm a photo hiatus (mostly) so--

Wanted to plug a few sales-- I could use the money yo~ DoA links only, sorry.

Clothes/shoes: [link]
SOOM MD Hati/Skoll paws + bag'hnak and buckler: [link]

^^^ If that's any indication, I did finally get my Skoll from Soom. 8) He's adorable! I also have an Alk on shipping-- crazy town.

Aaah and I'm bored I guess. Would anyone be interested in a permanent ear piercing tutorial for BJDs? Not rocket science but--

Technically I wasn't featured by anybody, but I felt like doing this anyways. First 20 to comment here (with expressed interest for feature of course, haha), will be featured with three thumbs. Any of you want me to feature certain things, then sure, tell me about it.

If you care to pay it forward, feature me back (or don't, up to you) and do your own features in your journal. 8)

[EDIT] I'll add everything when I'm done my readings. |Db!

Let's see the crap I took/drew this year-- -shot- One for each month, in chronological order!:






-dies- Needs more Kamui clearly.

Cheers guys~

^^ I hope you're all having a good holidays, whatever you're celebrating, if celebrating at all. If not well-- I hope you're doing well.

I'd like to thank you for all your support~

As you might have guessed from that last entry-- Imeem has resurfaced in a new form on the site Ning. I've recently found more people there-- aaand since Ning has the option for you to delete people's comments, my warnings to them have been pretty much ignored lulz.

I can honestly say I am a very discouraged person.

That all aside, I feel I should go on hiatus posting anything publicly for awhile. It's not even my things being taken from what I can see but well-- yeah. Can't say I'm really comfortable anymore. That and what I've put out lately is pretty weak and I hope to step it up.

So cheers.

I’ve been contacted more than once by a couple of Doll Sanctuary members since my "mass doll photo theft report" on them and the tanking of IMEEM and their merging with MySpace due to bankruptcy.

To sum it up, I was approached by these members who “clarified” to me what the group Doll Sanctuary was and their reasoning behind using artist and company doll photos illegitimately.

Which was unnecessary.

I always knew what Doll Sanctuary was. It would take an idiot not to know what the group was about after having read through probably hundreds of pages worth of profiles and our repurposed images. For those that maybe didn’t know because you didn’t really look, Doll Sanctuary was pretty much a role playing group that just used dolls pictures as their characters throughout their role playing. The group was set to private due to other groups copying their ideas (not with dolls necessarily). Making the group private was a safety measure against this.

As for using our images, I was told that it was on “instinct.” That they simply took the images because they thought they were " pretty," like some random anime picture found on a Google search engine. Initially, the members only used doll company photos for their role playing purposes (ex: Soom, Dream of Doll, Luts, etc.) and *sassystrawberry’s photos because they thought she too was a company. I’m not exactly sure how.

That isn’t the point though. The point is, a lot of doll photographers state right on their images or their profiles pages... or both—that our images are not meant to be used without permission. Despite the fact that you (using general “you” here) use anime pictures found off of Google without credit doesn’t excuse the fact that some Doll Sanctuary members purposefully ignored direct requests of the photographers whose photos were “stolen.”

That’s right, Doll Sanctuary members, you stole our photos. As you get angry that others steal your graphics or your role playing ideas, we get angry that people like you ignore our requests to NOT use our photos without permission. And you all did just that, take our photos without our permission. Are you all following?

Credit will not be sufficient for me personally. Some doll photographers may think otherwise, once they find out who stole what, but I am not one of them. I don’t want to see my photos and characters being hashed up in your graphics and made into characters of your own. I don’t want some measly credit on the corner of the page or a statement saying, "the images shown are not my property but to their respective owner's and creators.” I would rather you took my things down and not take anything of mine anymore.

Find your image sources for artist doll photos. Get permissions. If permission is not given to you, don’t just go and fucking use the image anyway. Be respectful to the artist and take it down. A non-response doesn’t mean you’re allowed to use it either. The internet is not a free-for-all zone, as you may think.

Failure to do this will result in a report once you’re found, guaranteed.

And you will be found.

imeem... doesn't exist anymore. It was taken over by Myspace... so all those pages I reported are gone or are being moved, I'm not sure....

... I don't know what to say.

To make this post actually... somewhat more useful. UHH. I feel like doing that:

ASK MY CHARACTERS ANYTHING--

meme again, since I feel I have a better grasp of my characters now since when I last asked this shit. Anyone my right sidebar is open to question. 'Cept Macy of course.
