Peace of mind...

Journal Entry: Mon Nov 9, 2009, 12:22 PM
I guess I'm back on the shore after a really wild trip on the sea of chaos and new experiences...

I still cannot really believe that it's my second month at university, and though there are still questions about the darn scedule, I finally found peace with everything. I'm starting to feel something like a weekly routine, which I really value, being a person who digs the feeling of safety and steadiness.
I even - and that is kinda the point of that entry - found the inner peace to spend time on new manipulations and I'm eager to work my ass off on good stock.
I also might start doing my own photo shootings again.

Plus, I started to ecxessively use art ( including writing and drawing ) as a way of distraction - After two amazing weeks, my boyfriend just had to return to his base. So I try not to think about it too much.
It's been almost 4 years that we are doing this misery dance of half-hearted breakups which nobody really ment, sorrows because of his job and the horrible farewells on every end of his rare free time. So slowly I feel like I'm getting stronger about it. Though I've been physically sick the fist times and crying for days, now I manage to get over it pretty good...
( Wow, thinking about it, he just has 14 months left! 14 months of 5 YEARS! Gosh, time is running! )


So, life is really kinda settling down again.
Incoming manipulation assignments, increased work and engagement on our local youth care programme, yeah, I guess everything's gonna be ok.

  • Listening to: more amazing audio books.
  • Reading: Karin Slaughter - Fractured

This is me with my -amazing- boyfriend.

Me? I'm the nicest girl ever... If you deserve it. About 97% of the people I know... don't. You do the math.

To explain me with a song line: "I have a wicked taste for trouble, and I am never ever satisfied!" ;)

I don't know if what they say about you is true but I made comments here in the genuine effort to HELP you. I'm not here to flame or piss you off. So please consider what I say even if you decide to hide this comment too.

When someone sees your photographs and becomes inspired they may choose to paint something similar. If they directly trace over your photo then it's wrong morally due to it being against your wishes. If they reference it then it's still wrong morally but at the same time it's acceptable practice in the art world. HOWEVER, if someone simply uses their memory to get a rough approximation of the pose then that shouldn't be an issue, correct?

I mean, let's assume I took pictures of myself in 1000 different poses then put it on DA. Would it be reasonable for me to report any images vaguely similar to my poses and curse them out? Do you realize how unreasonable it all sounds? I'm on your side morally speaking but it doesn't justify some of the stuff i'm hearing about you if it's true.

Like I said, I don't know if people are exaggerating your actions but it's clear people are angry at you. I'm trying to help you and I hope you consider what I said, clarify your intentions, wishes and rules. Act mature about this and I guarantee the trolls will go away. Good luck.
:iconkarma-manipulation:
I do appreciate your will to help a lost sheep, but I really don't need any help. I'm pretty damn able to decide on my pictures and stuff, if my actions seem unreasonable for others or not.

"Some of the stuff I'm hearing" though really does interest me. So, I did use explicit language. Uuuh. x) Anything more, way more interesting? *curious*
:iconsafeguardkilly:
Nothing I haven't already mentioned. Pretty much just the cursing people out (as a first response), reporting people to try to get them banned and actively searching DA for all artwork that could be even vaguely related for the purpose of reporting to DA.

I mainly came here because I dislike "internet raids" and people manipulating others into becoming a personal army based on propaganda. The only proof he had against you was your rule stating artwork references aren't allowed which is a very strange rule but nothing to start harassing someone over. He had no direct evidence of any of the other accusations.

So unless you were in fact getting people banned from DA(doubtful) or accusing innocent artists of doing something they didn't then I really have no problem with you at all. No one else should either. Personal rules that affect no one else negatively are irrelevant. There are plenty of more serious political and social related matters worth pursuing.

Well, anyway, hope things work out better for you in the future.
:iconkarma-manipulation:
"actively searching DA for all artwork that could be even vaguely related for the purpose of reporting to DA." is just SO wrong... I reported three pictures. Three. All three were reported to -me- by the users themself. Because they thought it was funny. There were LOTS of other "let's do a stupid picture so she gets pissed"-submissions and I didn't give a damn by just not having a watch at them.

But, though, you're right with the rest. If a rule seems strange, it is... well, strange, and no harm for anybody.
-My- main problem is that I simply cannot understand why people were annoying me all over just because of a really simple rule. I didn't randomly start to insult people. But what I did was reacting to pointless, stupid harassment.

*shrugs* Shit happens. I gave uploading stock a try, it worked out -really- fine at first ( got -amazing- results, also drawings which were great ), got complicated after changing the rule and especially after the DD. Complication solved.

Thanks for trying to help, really, but... it's kinda pointless now. ;)
