Widow The widow visited the grave of where all her lovers lay. The night cold and lit by the moonlight. She wept tears as rich as the blood that once brightened the faces of the men she loved. She would always live forever in the realm of man, the immortality she couldn’t pass onto them. So, she’d always walk alone no matter how many lovers she took over the centuries. And though she woke them this time from their graves, they were nothing but puppets eager to do their vampire widow's bidding. 🕷 . . . . . #art #artwork🎨 #illustrationartist #digitalillustration #digitaldrawings #digitalart #artgallery #art🎨 #artofvisuals #artistlife #digitalartist #artistatwork #independentartist #fantasyillustration #fantasypainting #fantasygirl #vampire #ghoul #graveyard https://www.instagram.com/p/CHBszI8j2LB/?igshid=nxztsb3k8m5f

Hey art guys, here’s a tip: Reverse storyboarding.

Watch a movie that you really like the art or composition of, and whenever the camera angle, viewpoint, or characters actions/interactions change noticeably, pause the movie and draw a little sketch of what you see. It doesn’t have to be gorgeous. This is just for you. Get down the layout of the composition, the placement and gestures of characters, or the lighting or color that is used to make that particular moment in time express that particular moment in the story.

You don’t have to pay anyone to teach you to do this. You are paying yourself forward. Your future art self will thank you for taking the time now to study masterfully created compositions, gestures, light/shadow, and settings/scenery. Think of how much your own compositions, gestures, use of light and shadow, and settings and scenery will improve!  

And plus you get to watch a movie you love.  <3

Hello, 

I did some random gorgons because I’m fond of the idea of hairstyles but snakes. And now also hats but snakes.

psa: don’t mention commissions/patreon on AO3

Hi guys! So I know we all don’t actually read the terms and conditions of things and just hit agree assuming there’s nothing important in there (I do it too oops) but if you take writing commissions or anything involving money, then there’s actually something in the AO3 terms and conditions to be aware of.

Linking to a personal website or blog/social network where you are taking donations, posting commissions or mentioning published works is permitted, but advertising it directly on the Archive is not, nor is using language which one might interpret as requesting financial contributions. For example, you can say something to the effect of “check out my Tumblr if you want to know more about me and my writing” and include the link to the site, but you cannot specifically state anything about donations, commissions or sales on the Archive.

Today someone reported one of my fics as violating this condition - presumably because I’d mentioned my patreon in the author’s note (I wasn’t actively requesting donations either… I’d literally just mentioned that it existed, and that the fic in question was written as a thank-you for hitting one of my goals).

I’ve written to AO3 to check whether just saying ‘thank you to those who support me on patreon’ is fine and I’ll let you guys know when they get back to me, but if it’s still going too far in terms of being a ‘commercial promotion’ then I’ll just avoid mentioning this in the future! :’)

As I said, someone did actually report my fic for this - so there are people out there who are noticing/reporting these situations. Please be aware of this if you take fic commissions, or use patreon or ko-fi, because your account could end up suspended, which of course no one wants!

<3 <3

[whalehuntingboyfriends]

UPDATE: AO3 got back to me - you’re not allowed to mention or link to patreon at all, regardless of how it’s phrased. Not sure if it’s the same for ko-fi but it might be better to be safe than sorry!

<3 @kahnah23 relevant to you and possibly some others~

[sinningsleepingandshitposting]

That’s a fucking bullshit rule, I’m sorry. They shouldn’t deny you the opportunity to advertise your own work.

[softpunkbucky]

archive of our own is run by the organization for transformative works. ao3 and the other services that otw offers - including legal services for fan creators who get in legal trouble - are nonprofit organizations.

this isn’t just a self-determined descriptor; that’s a legal definition that requires adherence to specific rules and laws regarding income, profit, and donations.

this isn’t a “bullshit rule” just meant to prevent creators from advertising. in op’s post, the contact from ao3 offers a roundabout way to advertise. this rule ensures that ao3 and the organization for transformative works to stay a non-profit organization - this “bullshit rule” is essentially a way so that ao3 and the other services that the organization for transformative works can stay online.

[transformativeworks]

Hey, folks! A bit of clarification on this point. Courtesy of the lovely people from our Legal and Abuse committees, here’s how things are:

What the TOS FAQ says is: “We want the Archive to remain a non-commercial space. That means that it isn’t the right place for offering merchandise, even fan-related merchandise. Linking to your personal page (not, for example, an Amazon author page) is fine, even if the personal page includes some items for sale, but the Archive is not advertising space.”

We made this rule to keep the Archive focused on its original mission of protecting noncommercial transformative works, and to avoid confusion about the relationship between the Archive and individual creators. Donations to individual creators are not donations to the Archive, so they don’t affect our status as a nonprofit as such, but we still need a rule that enables our small, hard-working abuse team to enforce an anti-commercialization rule as fairly as possible.

It is acceptable to mention something like “This work was commissioned by Mary Sue,” but creators should not link directly to their fundraising pages or solicit donations on the Archive. We do not want to suspend accounts over this, and creators are given notice if there’s a problem. We presume good faith, and if you think Abuse has made a mistake about your work, you can appeal any decision requiring the removal of a link.

[saniika]

Please, please, please. Don’t. Ill look your info up anyway through your linked socials, just be smart about it! Too many of you I read, like and would hate to see you get into trouble. Read up on this 👍

The best things in life are simple, this also contributes to people with a bucket list. One of my goals is to help my sister with hers. Some of you guys and gals know me, we talk outside of social media. One thing I don't usually go in depth about is my family. But I actually need you're help. After finding out that my big sister, one of the greatest women in my life that i look up to, was diagnosed with thyroid cancer i wanted to be there for her. This probably seems miniscule but it does have an affect on her body. However, this post isn't just about my sister developing cancer. She wants to make a difference and so do I. This year we're trying to help raise money for the Durrell challenge, a conservation for wildlife. Join us and make a small donation, doesnt matter how small, is all I ask so we can mark it off the bucket list. I'll love you with all of my little black heart 🖤 #thedurrellchallenge2018 #runforwildlife #running #sister #donate #wildlife #superhero #bucketlist
