The low res files are deliberately screwed up so that you can't get a decent print of them.

But thanks.

Oh okay... well I printed them from my sister's computer and they came out fine.... but I'll save up so I can buy em from you! They all are really good

I *really* understand what you're trying to say, that you like my work. And I really appreciate it. But let me tell you this... it's really offensive for me to read that you've gone and done that. I'm trying to think of polite ways to reply to you, so that you know that I appreciate that you like my work... I really am... but all I can think of is... damn. That was theft. Thanks.

So please, don't take this as me yelling at you, or being rude, but I am going to ask nicely for you to please not print out copies of my art. I have one company that is authorised to make prints of my work, DA. Going through and running prints of my images devalues my work, and makes it harder for me to compete in the market... when I'm competing against myself now. And I'd really rather not have to make my watermarks nastier and more obvious. So please, don't do that.

Sorry... I won't do that.. Today's my second day on here and I don't really know what's right and what's wrong... From now on I'll but the stuff I like, I just wanted to have something nice on my walls. Sorry for offending you.. Im really not a theif... Again sorry, and I'll try to figure out what not to do on here.... have a great day

JessicaMDouglas In reply to Alex30214 [2004-08-05 20:49:04 +0000 UTC]

That's fine. I figured that you didn't see that as wrong. That's why I didn't totally yell at you.

Basically the easiest thing to remember is... if it's not yours, don't touch it. If the person doesn't have a print account, you can note them and see if they are comfortable with you printing their images out. If they do, well... I can tell you now that the answer is no, since they are offering prints for sale, why would they give them away?

Anyway, it's always best to ask first, so if you have any questions, or need some help, feel free to note me. I'm always around, and if I don't know the answer, I can probably steer you to someone who does.

I'm going to have to gnaw on your brains.

And notice? I'm being a good girl and making everything into a print so you don' thave to smack me about it all the time.

Anyway... wait... in about 3 hours i'm going to post something that is psychotically colored *grin*

I love grapevines too. ^_^ I used to try to draw them all over things when I was little. Emphasis on the 'try,' those suckers are hard to draw! O.o

Hey my b-days in May! And I'm an angel! I'm not that pretty though. This is an awsome picture. Can't wait to see the rest of the series.
May is still the best though!

Love it, love it, love it!!! Especially the richness of the background and her round face with full lips, it's so radiant I lack words, dear. I admire you more and more (if it's possible...) with every new pic of yours.

Fabulous work! Love every detail of it. The chains look like they would be so heavy though, hope she's strong! I do like this version much better than the original though.

Thank you! Yeah, I didn't like how the chains came out on this version.. but by the time I was coloring and realised I'd plotted them in as larger, it was too late to change it >.<

kamokirby [2004-05-09 23:23:56 +0000 UTC]

Aaah, love it... You kept all the best parts, and changed the OK parts so they would be great too. ^__^ I agree with brianne in saying that I'd like to have the belt in there, but then again, with her pose, I can definitely see how it would be very hard to draw it there without making it look weird... Actually, I had forgotten about her belt when I first saw this, so it looks absolutely wonderful without it. I love how you drew the dress and hair! The black wingtips and grapes on the background were great choices for add-ons, too! ^__^ And because my birthday's in May, too (in 3 days, actually... ) I'll make an excuse to :+fave: this.

JessicaMDouglas In reply to kamokirby [2004-05-10 06:23:02 +0000 UTC]

draconicality [2004-05-09 11:17:32 +0000 UTC]

Oh...lordy this is beautiful, and I forgot to comment on it earlier, for which I pretty much slapped myself. I think with the amount of commentary it recieved from others, there's nothing I can say that hasn't been repeated over...and over...and over...

But 'tis beautiful. I think every May baby who saw it started cheering. ^__^ I know I did.
