deviantART: Iardacil's Journal: Some thoughts..

Hei-hei

Hey, I hope you all had fantastic holidays and spent them with people you loved..

I most say I did.. We did something unusual - went to countryside. Usually we stay home in Christmas.. we went to our summer house.. it is a little but it is just so great to get out of the city.. but the shocking thing was.. we had snow storm here in the end of November.. it broke many pins near my uni.. and when we get to summer house.. wow.. what it had done there to the forest... it had broke so many trees.. and one very big fir had fallen off - towards the house.. :S but it hit another fir just standing next to the house and exactly hit it and broke.. and that fir save the house.. that was horrible picture.. all those trees.. and to be honest, you never think that something like that happens - that house has stand there over 40 years I think.. and has seen many many storms.. many hard winters.. on my 21 years of life I have never seen a tree falling down on there.. I have always afraid of it and my parents have always said to be - it won't happen and now did.. :S

Ok.. rather than that we had really great time there.. grilling and pancakes by my sister.. even managed to get electricity on and old radio played some music and we sit in kitchen trying to get warm.. ah.. it was just once in a lifetime experience..

And days after that.. I got two books for Christmas and I have been reading them.. two in a time, to be honest..

~himsouls found a way how to avoid ripping. he stoped posting photos on the net. His new works could be seen only on exhibitions.
I'm doing same with liber-ars project. I know that's not the best, but...

I'm not sure what advice to give you.I'm not for the big watermarks because some of them look too distracting.Luckily I still don't have ripping problems(ok,my most popular manip is on few blogs..) so I use my little signature in the corner.
I really love the size of your manips you show but if they are stealing continuously from you maybe you should show us smaller sized manip with small watermark and put in your scraps deviation with details of that manip...
And about being naive...sorry I can't help you with that because we are the same

Oh sweetie I think that you must just have to learn to say no at least sometimes. And as for being ripped...when you upload your image you should unclick the box that says 'allow download in original size' and also the 'allow blog'...I think that stops people being able to copy them, that's what I do. Hope that's of some help.
And also I too am shocked sometimes by the rudeness of some people with their 'rules'. They are very rude when it's unnecessary...I think the people with the most talent, not matter how famous or popular they get are the ones who stay nice!

I can't give much advice on this cause I'm constantly dealing with art thieves... most of them don't get a journal mention at all. I'm trying to stick with the watermarks that DA gives, I believe the bigger the watermark is the more it takes away from the art. But if its going to stop people from taking your work it might be worth it... *shrugs* As for the being rude.. well sometimes you have to be rude to get people to listen or to just plain leave you alone. I'm the same.. too kind for my own good... hehe

Evil rippers and credit hoggers.Its an ugly thing so I guess you could watermark them or somthing as the others did.Had the same problem but it was in reality and not over the internet so it got messy.

Ummm I can't really say much on the rude part but hey,I'm not exactly the kindest person you did meet so leave it.It will hit them square back in the face some day for saying them out loud.

You don't need to be rude when you are popular. I know quite a few "popular" people that manage to remain friendly, the trick is to be selective. You don't "owe" people a reply. If someone comments "nice picture", it's a kind thing to reply with a thanks. But it is NOT rude if you don't.
Doing something for someone else is always a favour. It is not rude to deny someone a favour, it's "neutral".
In fact, it is very rude if someone asks you a favour that would be annoying to you. Anyone that isn't a halfwit can see that you are very busy. Anyone that has watched you for a while (and/or reads your journals) can see that are a very kind person. I consider it one of the greatest sins a (wo)man can commit, to abuse that trait.
Watermarks are difficult. What you could do is add a small signature like in guardian of legends and after two weeks add the deviantart watermark. This way your watchers get to see the unspoiled image, as do most other interested people. But those searching DA to steal a good image are usually much later and will face the deviantart watermark.

(You can also just leave things as they are. Art thieves are bastards and should rot in hell, but they are not really damaging you. The only way they can hurt you is emotionally, but only those who care can be hurt.)

I like it

Don't stop posting for fear of people who cannot follow the rules. It is a restriction on your creativity. People can be rude and stupid but if you can take them with a grain of salt and politely say no then you have done your side of the battle. I read the best quote last night that applies to this "The Internet is the first thing that humanity has built that humanity doesn't understand. It's the largest experiment in anarchy that we've ever had." ~Eric Schmidt.
The rules are no different here then in the real world. They wouldn't go into a gallery and steal something off a wall would they? No different.

Be kind and wonderful as you always are, but don't be afraid to put your foot down.

Best wishes,
Fae Marie
