HATS
You have some of those, or similar ones…don't you? I can swear I've seen a picture of you with them…

Other than that, yeah, mine aren't too “amazing”. I do like the fur one you sent though… :)

And I didn't even think of checking EBay.

@leet: I'm definitely not the same kind of hat nerd as oz, but I have what I think is a pretty nice little collection.
A hat would have to be pretty nice for me to order it online, though…I feel like half the fun of getting a new hat is going out and finding it.
Some places I've gotten my hats:
- weird vintage clothing/book store
- street markets
- my great-grandma's place after she died :\
- teeny hat store in the bad part of town

Aaaaaaaaaaand 36 hours I made it. Failed miserably at both the sobriety thing and the saving money thing. Had such a crap day at work yesterday that I got home dyin' for a f*cking beer. Then after I got off work at 2 am ended up out with some buddies ‘til six in the morning. (The bars here never close. No last call = the danger zone.) Spent $40 too, although about $10 was on for my boyfriend and some friends he was havin’ over for dinner while I was at work, $10 on smokes, and another $10 on fancy french pastries to take back to my boyfriend at the end of the night (er, begining of the morning). So I only spent about $10 on beer- but only cuz the buddies were mostly buying.

So back on the wagon I guess. :( I really don't feel like it, but I want to prove somethin' to myself.

you can't run a marathon on your very first day out there. 36 hours is 36 hours. next up is 48!

Ozone and skoolmonkee-

I had a theory, and so i tested it.
Lately i got a new laptop, and i can only be logged into 1 at a time. so sometimes i lurk without logging in.
When i do this, i noticed the forum seemed to load quickly. I logged into DD while in one computer and browsed on the other.
The results are noticeably different. nearly 2-3 times faster than when logged in. Same network, same browser.

i don't know if this has been done before, or tested, but i just noticed that.

What do you do if someone who you did a commission for keeps posting your artwork claiming that it's theirs?

This girl commissioned me in February and I told her she could use the picture as much as she wanted as long as she credited me as the artist. She did that once… then she got into some drama and deleted her entire dA gallery. She reuploaded everything and made a bunch of wallpapers and character sheets using my art and hasn't credited me on any of them. She's been thanking people when they tell her that they love the art and her style and saying that she worked hard on it. : /

Apparently someone else pointed out that I did the original image and her response was that she created the character, so she owns the art and can post it without crediting me. Then she hid the comments.

I just heard about this and I'm a little unsure as to what to do. Do I just let her do whatever she wants with the art, since she paid for it, even though she's ignoring the terms we discussed? Or do I mention our contract? D:

OH ALSO

Just because this is hilarious.

She commissioned porn of the character from someone else using my art as the model. Just… lol.

Contact one of the DA admins, though, I don't know who they are, I only know a few of the mods… Ask them to remove the artwork from the person's gallery. You could try talking to the girl and give her a chance to remove the work on her own, pointing out that its stealing. Though from what you'e described, she seems to be well aware of this fact… So, I think contacting the admins would be the way to go…

dA is totally cool with art theft and would probably take her side, since she paid for it. : /

I'm probably not going to do anything about it… I was looking around and it seems like most people realize that I'm the original artist since I've posted it on dA and on MHdolls.com… I just wish she wouldn't be so bitchy when someone points out that she didn't draw it. >>;

Wow, DA has certainly gone down hill since I had been on there, that really sucks that they put profit before the artists who make up that site. Disgraceful. :/ But at least you've got some fans who know that its not hers and point it out.

Ugh… I think my father has finally gone senile. I sent him a Happy Fathers Day message, and he sends me back the same message he's been sending me… he wants me married and with child… NOW!!! Nevermind the fact that I have no prospects or that unlike him my luck with women has been terrible (the ones I've met so far all have husbands, boyfriends, GIRLFRIENDS, or issues that make them undesirable).

*sigh*

I want to get myself into a happy marriage and there's a slim chance of that happening if I just marry any woman on the street… -_-

Network and the shotgun effect.

Ask everyone you know if they know any single women. Get introduced, make friends and then ask them out.

You put up enough buckshot you're sure to bring down something. Remember it is a target rich enviornment. There are more lonely single women out there looking for a wonderful guy like you than you realize.

And now the inspirational story: So there I am at a party going over the three types of women in the world: those dating someone, those you don't want to date and those who don't date you.

A very attractive young lady walks by, stares at me and says “Well maybe there are women who would go out with you if you bothered to ask!”

Stop bitching and start asking. Everyone. I ended up dating her sister because by the time I got around to asking she was dating my best friend and that was a hookup through networking. And then so was my dating her sister and the eventual blind date that led me to my wife.

And then there is the internet. Talk about your target rich enviornments! Remember the first Rule of Lay: if your standards are too high: lower them.

Copyright is complicated, and lots of people go around with incomplete understandings or what's involved. I'm hardly an expert myself but at least I try to be aware.

The girl who says she paid for it so it's hers SORT of has a point- sometimes “for hire” work means that everything becomes the property of the purchaser and the artist doesn't even necessarily get attribution rights. But that's generally something the artist has to agree to. However if there's no contract per se then it can be difficult for a third party to find the truth of. Of course the awareness (and patheticness) of someone claiming credit for art they know they didn't and couldn't draw, that's something else completely and not a copyright misunderstanding.

Great… 4 in the morning and I can't go back to sleep. That supervisor that keeps giving me trouble at work tried to call me in. Jackass thinks I should work more. Seriously… do the Marines keep cranking out these workaholics on purpose?!? I guess I'll never know for sure…

Still tempted to ask my brother-in-law for one of is furry hens as a pet. I'll probably raise it from an egg with advice from him since he's the chicken expert. There are no hawks or other predatory birds around here, so that's not a problem. The one potential problem would be the Brown Tree Snake. The things have been known to go through heck to get their food. Some scavenge the trash, and I remember one case where a woman accidentally left her fridge open only to come home and find a Brown Tree Snake eating the eggs she had in there. Too bad my brother-in-law raises fighting chickens. They'd peck the Brown Tree Snake to death.

All branches of the military keep cranking them out not just Uncle Sam's Misguided Children. It's called NCO career development. ;)

I better stop there or else I'll get a pile of targetted ads for the Army and Marine Corps with very intrusive audio like I did when I linked those pictures of modern body armor.

And they're apparently trained to intensely dislike army guys. Yeah… getting thrown out a bar window by a drunken marine was sure a fun way to get to know them. -_-

Wow… I guess my insanity is finally going to intensify or something. Thought pops into my head that having a “Yandere” girlfriend would be fun. You know… the kind of girl who's crazy for you…. REALLY CRAZY for YOU. So crazy in fact that if you so much as think about another woman she'll be dead the next morning with your Yandere girlfriend holding the bloody axe in her hand. And if you attempt to break up with your Yandere girlfriend you could be finding your head literally inside that place on your body where the “sun don't shine”…

Okay… maybe that's not such a good idea after all. It's probably fun to live on the edge, but not THAT close… :)

@Dodger-
don't DODGE the issue
tell her to redraw it, chances are she can't.
and then she ends up looking like an arse.
and then it's problem solved.





Hey I'm going out for GM this time in mafia so it'd be really cool if some old players voted for me and/or joined if I won. And when I say really cool I mean-I've been there for about one and a half years playing, you think I would have at least done one.

But that's at my own fault, I suppose.




I'm probably gonna quit my band.

I haven't mentioned it to anyone so when I'm around the people in it and they mention it I kinda switch topics…

0-0
(dodged)



I'll offer this out to you guys too.

On my youtube (see link in sig), i'm sending a request for little bios about a person and they're name.

You can send these in to iamthe1337master@aim.com.

After thinking them over a bit, I'll write a song about you.

(most likely that is-if I get billions, sorry, can't do everyone.)

These will all go on my youtube randomly throughout this summer and I'll try to send you a copy via email if I remember.

Sound intresting? :)

Okay.

Lonnehart. Step away from the monitor. Keep breathing. Nice regular breaths.

Clearly you are not in the thralls of the Stockhom Syndrome, but – worse– a Kyupol Syndrome!!

There ARE girlfriend potentials aside from Satanic Soldiers and Yanderes. really really really

Like posted ealier - next time you see a woman that looks fun or interesting or there's that “certain something”, ask her out. Spend an afternoon together. You supply the ice tea, or Italian Ice, or whatever.

just do it.



@1337 - what, like a caricature in song?

Aaand the month has gone already… And I find myself again trying to scrape enough money to pay my share of bills :/

Was tryig to sell some stuff but since I forgot to pay the auction site's share (they take 4% off every sale and some really minor fee for every non-sale) the account got blocked. Argh.

Managed to scrape some cash elsewhere, unlocked it, meanwhile paid that one net bill from borrowed money. Then I sold some things, paid back part of what I borrowed and spent the rest on food.

Now I have another bill to pay. I can't borrow from the same place as I still owe them money.

I just hope the stuff I have for sale now sells, or else the big return to webcomics won't happen. Crap :(

(unless a lot of people wantto buy my print comics, heh, that could save me too).

Satanic Soldiers and Yanderes. really really really

One big difference between the two (and why Yandere types can be dangerously fascinating)… one group worships someone else, but Yandere worship YOU. However, they refuse to let anyone else besides themselves have YOUR affection and will get rid of them any way they can to keep you all to themselves. Family members included. And of course… if you break up with one she'll make sure no one else will ever have your affection.

No, I won't get a girlfriend like that. However fascinating she is, I'd need an insane amount of passion and devotion (and channel it into my affection for that one person) to survive that sort of relationship… :)

Yay, I just had a marvellous cup of coffee and I'm currently listening to Connection by Elastica. Ah… Brings back fond art student memories :)

Damn that coffee was good!
-
Seventy, I love flying commercial… mainly because I've never flown in a private charter jet, nor have I flown in a military one. Ha!
The downside is the cost of tickets… I've bought all mine for my upcoming US trip. I'm strangely half looking forward to being stuck on aeroplanes for 20+ hours flying around the globe with hundreds of other people in close proximity.
I like the in-flight meals and entertainment, don't mind the company, I don't mind sitting around and not moving too much for ages and ages (as long as I'm not cramped) and I love take-offs and landings. I also like waiting in the terminals.

I don't like waiting for the toilet though. And I don't like how dry the air is in the planes… I don't like taking off my shoes, jacket, hat etc and emptying my pockets, going through immigration or passport control or whatever, checking in, collecting bags, finding the right terminal and gate… Plus, airport staff in both Australia and the US seem rather dim. Mostly.

I can't imagine it's a very rewarding or intersting job asking if people have any mangoes they'd like to declare.

I don't know about international customs, but it seems the Australian customs service is particularly obsessed with anything organic entering or leaving the country.

…And terrorism.

I was told that I couldn't bring coloured pencils on a plane because they might be used as a weapon.
of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most.

Haven't seen that movie, but I'm assuming they probably didn't hold the peanut to someone's neck crying: “I'll kill him! I swear to God, I'll kill him if you don't turn this plane around!” So What did they do, exactly? I'm guessing throw it or stab someone in the eye with it…

But I don't know how you'd get it on a plane since Aussie Customs do ask “Have you got any nuts?” And have sniffer dogs roving the air port.

Just looked up the prohibited items for air travel. Its got some pretty self explanatory stuff…

it appears I can't take my pair of Nunchakus though, hahaha, Damn!
