Rogue One Is ALMOST TOO MUCH FOR ME

I am going to need feedback..... so I have done a awesome picture for Rogue One, the new Star Wars movie that came out Friday. I am debating posting it because....... spoilers! But in other words, THE MOVIE WAS AWESOME. HEARTWRENCHING. COMPLETELY WORTH IT. BETTER THAN ALL THE OTHER STAR WARS MOVIES IN MY OPINION. ENOUGH SAID. Remember, feedback! Just tell me if you wanna see the pic or not! Bye!

Little LOTR #19

Hey, Calvin was the only person that I could think of saying this line! XD 

Little LOTR #18... Revised!

HELLO I AM BACK AND IM GONNA DO THIS RIGHT.  I am relaunching! I needed a clean start to my comics and so here we go!

  

Here is the NEW Little LOTR #18!!!!! I told you it was a clean start to this!!

Ok, so here we go.

I will draw Little LOTR comics every Friday, but if I don't post one Don't kill me!! I'm just busy.

I will do LOTS of fan art!! 

I will also do a comic including the characters from the radio drama, Adventures in Odyssey. You will probably see lots of things concerning this. 

I will put my "conspiracies" (Fanfiction ideas and other connections) 

This blog isn't really my top priority, ya know! I am also working on another blog with my sister and brother. Here is the link: Never Grow Up or foreverhavingfun.blogspot.com.  It isn't done yet. 

So there ya go! Now we are off to a clean start! :)

I'M BACK

This should explain what I have been busy with (not to mention it's the end of the school year for me :) ) So I am BACK!!!!!! ;)

Ok, ok, I need a better excuse

Yo peeps! Wassup!  Like always (not at all always), I have a perfectly legitimate excuse for not posting a Little LOTR comic. My program wasn't working. There ya go. Ha. Perfectly legitimate. XD I am currently working on a cool hand drawn picture though. So in my mind I'm like, "Hm, what would happen if AIO characters were in Hunger Games? (gasp) I got an idea!" :) MWAHAHAHA. Until I post again.... 

Little... Odyssey?

HAha! My first Adventures in Odyssey joke! XD Sorry, no Little LOTR. Please note, I haven't quit on it. :)

What Is The True Cost Of Piracy To An Independent Creator?

kyletwebster:

I just saw a torrent site that had more than a thousand illegal downloads of my Photoshop Megapack … in 24 hours. Seriously, how many people use Photoshop out there?! I mean, of course I’m upset, but I’m equally baffled by this number - I didn’t realize that many people had an interest in making digital art. It’s nuts.

Artists stealing from artists. I can’t understand it.

And I am always afraid to raise my already insultingly low prices BECAUSE I am afraid of more piracy. So, what am I supposed to do here? 

The sad truth is that I either DO need to raise prices to make up for the gross number of thefts and keep my income stream from diminishing (which would, of course, make them less affordable for students and young pros), or I need to completely change the business model somehow to somehow fight piracy. I don’t know how to change it, exactly, but since piracy of my products has been steadily increasing every year since I started, I need to figure something out.

Final thought: If just 5% of those people had bought legally, I’d have made $750 today. Okay, okay - that thought will definitely not improve my mood.

If you are a victim of piracy of your creative products, and you have some thoughts on this topic, I welcome them in comment form. Also, if you agree that this behavior is disgusting, and that we artists should be supporting one another, rather than acting like cannibals, then PLEASE REBLOG. Perhaps, if we make a little noise, it will at least make people reconsider using torrent sites when they realize that working artists are behind all of the creative products they love: music, art, film - all of it.

Thanks for reading.

I just wanted to reblog this. Share this. Get it out to the world. Please note, I did not write any of that. I am simply re.. what's it called... I think it's called reblogging.
