Spreading the word. Just because, you know. It can't be said enough. I don't care if you're tired of hearing about it, we're tired of it happening. Using artwork without permission is completely disrespectful of the artist and their work.

So go read =Dieux-Faux and =cloudnagkasalaangel's journals if you haven't already, read up on what's going on, they describe the situations pretty thoroughly.

Really, I don't understand why people think it's okay to use images that are copyrighted. Copyrighted, watermarked, and explicitly labeled as someone else's intellectual property. I know if you're looking at these images, you see these watermarks. And if you can see an image, clearly you must be able to read the text that says "Do Not Use Without Permission". Clearly. I'm not sure where people get off on ignoring that. If I took an image you drew or a description you wrote of your original character and claimed it as my own, I bet you'd flip your shit on me, wouldn't you?

Stealing someone else's intellectual property really says something about your own intellectual capabilities, I'll tell you that. It's never okay, and don't think you won't get found out. There are plenty of people out there who understand the concept of copyright and our terms of usage of our photos and they wouldn't hesitate to inform us (andweloveyouguysforit).

Aaand, because I enjoy being informative, have some info on Copyright Law.

And don't you fucking dare tell me "art theft is bound to happen". No, no, it isn't, I refuse to be complacent enough to believe that bullshit.

Yael's lucky I woke up early to take birthday pictures. He wasn't going to get any because I've got no inspiration at all. ...that and Left 4 Dead 2 came out late last night and I stayed up stupidly late. Awesomely appropriate though, that the game dropped on Yael's birthday. I originally wanted to take pictures of Yael chasing Roman around, but I'm lazy and that shit is hard. What can you do.

Speaking of, who wants to play L4D2 with me? 8Db I play on PC though, and I won't lie, I'm not all that great at it, but... y'know. Speak up.

Oh. And I call dibs on Ellis. For srs. Srs dibs.

Also, I haven't taken pictures of the Heliot head/human parts and the MNF B-line body, but they'll come sometime this week, promise. They're still up for sale.

(That meme everyone did. Because you know it was only a matter of time before I did it too.)

EDIT (11.21.09): Added Heliot open-eyed head/human parts, 70cm clothes

     Soom Heliot Open-Eyed Head - $250 - ON LAYAWAY

Brand-new, has never had a face-up. Will come blank, no wig, but I can throw in a pair of gray-green 14mm acrylics if you'd like.

     Soom Heliot Human Parts - Best offer?
The human parts include human hands, long lower legs, and feet. I'm not certain I want to sell these or how much to ask for them, so they're up as a feeler, no pictures unless there's interest.

My Minifée B-line Boy Body sale has been postponed. I'll put him back up for sale sometime after Christmas. Sorry!

_{And as a general reminder, guys, if you want to create photo manipulations/wallpapers using my photos, please ask my permission first. ^^ Thanks a bunch~}

Still working through those photo meme requests. And my devwatch. Which is new and different, yup. But I'm a whore for a character meme. 'Cause, you know. I need more stuff in my inbox.

Ask me either a broad question (i.e "who is your cruelest character?", "what is your most optimistic story?") or a specific question/request ("what world does ___ come from?", "tell me about ___") and I will answer you. Or you can ask meta-questions like "what was the inspiration for creating ____?"

Also, I have a Flickr! I've had it for a while, but never used it, but then decided to dump all the shit that never gets posted here over there. There'll probably be less doll photos there than on my DA and more photos of... I dunno. Other shit. Yeah. But there'll probably be doll photos I don't intend on posting here over there. 8)b

I feel as though this may be a bad idea, but what the hell. I need to start taking pictures of things that aren't dolls, no matter how mundane.

Ask me to take pictures of any aspect of my life that you're interested in/curious about -- it can be anything from my favorite shirt to my dvds. Leave your requests (can be more than one, I don't care) as a comment to this entry, I'll snap the pictures and post them.

_{I reserve the right to be too embarrassed to take pictures of certain things and therefore may decline your request. >.>;}

And a random question: Tell me your best/quirkiest/most clever/most unique/most hilarious idea for a Halloween costume. 8) I like clever and funny costumes, but I never really see any. I don't plan on dressing up this year or anything, but it's still fun to think about~

EDIT 10/22/09: Here we go! First set of photos~ This layout is not meant for this kind of shit, apparently. Still working through the list. XD Might take me a few more days, so bear with me here~

EDIT 10/24/09: Second set! 8D;; Still got more though. Newest ones at the top.

(Cut for photos and length.)
