LOCAL NERD GETS MILDLY TERRIFIED BY NEW THING

Ok, I dunno much about Flight Rising, but I foresee an unhealthy obsession with it in the near future.

Do any of your dragons have irrational fears?

Despite being enormous, Dopson is afraid of snakes. Frogs are great tho.

I bought couple of new Copic markers yesterday, since I had like eighty something of them, and somehow none of them are pink. The shop I bought them from had a no-testing rule, so I had to do guesswork based on the pen caps and the printed color range catalog and wanted to test them out to see what I bought.

Pumpuli the three legged tundra was the pinkest thing I could think of off the top of my head, so, ta dah! Have a doodle of the friendliest fluff I have in the internet.

(…Aaaaand it looks like I completely forgot to draw his horns. Oops.)

[avalonianrising]

!! PUMPULI!! Best soft spot in Sornieth.

[pocketss]

is that pronounced like 'sent' or 'sent-ey' or ?? 'sent-eh' just curious. i love her. wanna say her name right

‘Sent-ey’, I think! Or just ‘Sen’, for those of us who prefer shorter words..

[pocketss]

all of you stop touching Sen, she’s fragile

[pocketss]

get melted, nerd

[hillsandheadlights-deactivated2]

When capsule dropped, my brain went to “what if bottle rocket dragons” and then this happened over the course of 3 days theres a bunch of inconsistencies but i have put way more effort into this than i had originally intended and just want it done and out there

(btw sorry for the weird format, this comic was not made with tumblr in mind, you can see the full, unedited strip here!)

[duskthicketbonepicker]

I laughed so hard at this, this was fantastic!

[thoraperson]

Oh my God the faces are incredible

[avalonianrising]

All about Naomi: For those who have no idea what’s going on.

Naomi is a user who has taken over the Couriers of Flight Rising in what appears to be a glitch.

 But that’s not all she is. If you search for her in user search (she’s in Shadow flight to narrow it down) you’ll see she has over 15 million dragons, and the number is growing fast. 

Also, search for exalted dragons in dragon search, every single one of them will say they are a part of Naomi’s clan. 

Naomi is user 0. Her account doesn’t exist and neither does her profile dragon. Clicking on it will bring you to a 404 page. But Naomi isn’t just an account created to hold exalted dragons. She can’t be. Because of Willow. 

Willow is one of Naomi’s children with Coal, another exalted dragon. You can view Coal’s exalted page, but clicking on Naomi will bring you back to the 404. Willow is the only child of Naomi that is not exalted. Coal is dragon 25343. If you bring that back a number, to dragon 25342, you get a 404. Run that number in the scrying workshop and you’ll see Naomi. 

Willow is our proof that Naomi isn’t a storage account. She was someone, and Naomi and Coal are probably her progens. She bred her dragons and sold one of them. She even changed flights at some point, seeing as Naomi and Coal are Arcane and she is currently listed as Shadow. Which means 1 of 3 things. 1: Staff stole an inactive account and used it to store all exalted dragons and it’s somehow become unhidden, simultaneously taking over the account that handle the couriers. 2. This is the work of a hacker. 3. Someone is very upset at being exalted.

[the-gayest-asexual]

UPDATE: It appears Naomi has gone. Appears. The account has actually just been changed to Flight Rising and the profile dragon removed. Still in Shadow flight though. 

However, the fact remains that clicking on Willow’s mom leads you to a 404 page. Which means Naomi is still out there. Somewhere. 

[the-gayest-asexual]

Final update. It appears Naomi is finally gone. After the rollover the account has disappeared, all the exalted dragons have the right labels, everything is back to normal. Except for one thing.

Naomi’s dragon profile is still a 404.

She’s still out there.

[ashpinewidow]

Remember this anyone?

[luteia-fr]

Naomi’s great grandchildren still go for quite the profit. Amazing.

[dramarising]

Dear artists...

No, I’m not going to link back to your page. I edited out your ugly signature too. I paid for the art. It is mine.

Don’t worry, this does not mean I take credit for drawing it. When people ask if I drew it, I say “Nope.” When people ask who did, I say, “Sorry, I don’t remember.”

Just because I bought your art does not mean our profiles have to be linked forever. It’s the same if I buy an apple from the grocer. I don’t have to keep the sticker on it or tell people where it came from. I’m not a walking advertisement for your shop.

If you want credit so badly, then I should get a cut of your future profits for my part in the advertising.

I know I’m probably going to get the wrath of whiny, entitled artists for this, but I don’t care. I won’t be making a shrine around their art dedicated to them. I paid for a service, and now we should go our our separate ways!

[fiendcatfr]

alright so there’s a lot of fucked up parts in this post but?? right off the bat?? “I edited out your ugly signature too”??? I’m sorry but that’s really stupid?

if you bought a physical, painted-on-canvas drawing, would you still go through the trouble of trying to edit out the signature there too? Because literally the only difference between that scenario and this one is that the canvas can be physically held and displayed, where the digital painting stays in a digital venue.

Do not be a dick to artists. Fucking don’t edit out their signatures, credit them where they are due. Don’t be like the asshole OP. If you commission an artist, respect them enough to credit them.

[rage-puff]

Dear people who think like OP;

Please do not ever fucking commission me. My signature is an A, but I don’t care if an artist’s signature is a giant fucking watermark half as big as the piece. If you cut out their signature, you cut out their effort. Do you have to make a little URL tag that links back to my page or DA or tumblr or whatever? No. Would it be nice? Yeah. Is it a good habit to do anyway? Yeah.

But unless you’re paying me USD and we’ve made it part of the agreement that my signature will NOT be on the art- leave the fucking signature on the art. You purchased art that has the signature. Once you alter it, you’re violating our purchase agreement. The artist produced that art for your agreed upon purchase price with the understanding that what they were sending- signature fucking included- would remain on the piece.

If they knew that you were going to use their art independently without any sort of remaining credit like that, then the price very well may have been different or they might not have agreed to do the art at all.

[inquisitorhotpants]

Damn, OP Edgy McEdgerson is really proud of being a dickhead. No one’s saying you’re linked forever, and no, “I didn’t draw it and don’t remember who did” doesn’t absolve you, you chucklefuck.

[babybutta]

SIGNAL BOOOST

[netherstray]

…Although, as an artist, I have seen some completely horrible signatures on tumblr posts. Sometimes they’re so obnoxious that I hide the comments on a post and tag with something like “Artist’s comment/source in the original post.” Not because I hate artists, but because I acknowledge that artists aren’t always the best when it comes to brevity. 

When I show my stuff here on Tumblr, I keep whatever DA link came with the automatic sharing of the post. I include a comment about the work if I feel it needs actual context, but otherwise I just have the link to the original post on DA and to my profile on DA. That’s it. I don’t link Facebook, Twitter, Etsy, Flickr, Instagram, and whatever other god forsaken social media people can easily find me on. 

My advice to artists? If you want people to know your social media connections and other display sites for your art, keep a list of links available on your Tumblr and other websites. If the idea of someone removing all your links from your comment really bothers you so much, maybe you should do your fans a favor and keep the spam in your comment to a minimum. Have a contact list on your sites and keep it at that. And if you still want those links in your comment on your work, just link to “contact” and link that list of sites. 

[kittykatmaniac]

At the risk of stretching your dash. Let me tell a small story. the story is:

IF YOU COMMISSION AN ARTIST.

IF YOU COMMISSION AN ARTIST.

IF YOU COMMISSION AN ARTIST. 

CHANCES ARE THEY ARE GOING TO WORK VERY HARD ON YOUR PIECE  

THEY MIGHT EVEN BE ANXIOUS BECAUSE THEY MIGHT TAKE A LITTLE LONGER THAN EXPECTED 

SOMETIMES THEY LOSE STEAM HALF WAY BECAUSE LIFE THROWS OBSTACLES IN THE WAY. 

IF YOU COMMISSION AN ARTIST, THEY WILL HAVE SPENT TIME AND EFFORT ON YOUR PIECE. THEY MIGHT HAVE GONE THOUGH SOME TURMOIL IN THE PROCESS OF MAKING IT. BUT IN THE END YOU WILL HAVE WHAT YOU PAID FOR. 

IF YOU COMMISSION AN ARTIST AND YOU ARE HAPPY WITH THEIR WORK AND WHAT THEY PROVIDED, THE ARTIST WILL BE VERY HAPPY AND PROUD. THEY WORKED VERY HARD ON IT! THEY PROBABLY WON’T MIND IF YOU SHOW IT TO OTHER PEOPLE, IT WOULD HELP THE ARTIST A LOT! (BUT IT’S OKAY IF YOU DECIDE TO KEEP IT TO YOURSELF TOO….)

BUT IF YOU COMMISSION AN ARTIST… 

AND YOU SEE THE ONE SECTION THAT TIES SAID ARTIST TO THE PRODUCT THEY WORKED SO HARD ON….. 

….AND DECIDE TO TAKE IT OFF 

YOU HURT THE ARTIST EMOTIONALLY…..

IF YOU COMMISSION AN ARTIST AND EDIT THEIR NAME OFF THE PIECE….

YOU ARE SAYING “FUCK YOU ARTIST, I COULD HONESTLY CARE LESS ABOUT HOW MUCH TIME AND EFFORT YOU PUT INTO THIS. I PAID FOR IT SO OBVIOUSLY I DESERVE TO TAKE THE CREDIT FOR SOMETHING I HAD NO HAND IN BESIDES PAYING FOR IT TO BE CREATED.”

IF YOU COMMISSION AN ARTIST, DELETE THEIR SIGNATURE, AND SHOW IT OFF, YOUR FRIENDS WILL ENJOY IT AND SHOW IT TO OTHER FRIENDS. THOSE FRIENDS MIGHT WANT TO BUY SOMETHING SIMILAR! BUT THE ARTIST ISN’T GETTING CREDIT FOR IT BECAUSE YOU ESSENTIALLY TOOK THEIR WORK AND CLAIMED THE WORK, EFFORT, AND SKILL FOR YOURSELF, ALL BECAUSE YOU PAID FOR IT. (SOUNDS CRAPPY RIGHT?)

IF YOU COMMISSION AN ARTIST

CHANCES ARE PEOPLE DON’T KNOW WHO THEY ARE. CHANCES ARE THEY TOOK THE COMMISSION TO PAY SOME BILLS AND REALLY NEEDED THE MONEY.

IF YOU COMMISSION AN ARTIST AND DELETE THEIR SIGNATURE….

chances are you are not the first one to do that.

[accapella-songfield-uwu]

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT

[plexsxntly-sweet-memories-deact]

THIS IS ALL SO IMPORTANT

[jokijo11]

Important!!!!

[jude-v]

Everyone that appreciated art should be aware of this

Whoever sins enough to do this: fuck you

[markscherz]

Also commissioning is not transferring copyright. Removing authors signatures and hiding their credits is justifiably copyright fraud. If you disclaim that the art is not your own you could possibly get around this, but if you’re going to go to that length, you might as well just acknowledge the artist.

Don’t be a dick.
