Hex vs. the Game Cube
by ~Vixen11
Alpha and OmegaI walked out of the sector and looked around. Where am I? How did I get here?   
I saw binomes all around, dismayed and panicked. Two Sprites were also there, just as scared. What were they so frightened about?  
 
So they would not see me, I hid behind buildings, in shadow. Another question came to mind, more important than all the rest.   
Who am I? How in the code was I supposed to figure out where I was if I did not know who I was?   
A bright flash caught my eye. A portal. Someone stepped out, but I did not care to stay and see whom. I continued to move behind the buildings.

Respect and Pay the Artists

Journal Entry: Tue Jan 30, 2007, 10:41 AM
Note that I DID NOT WRITE THIS. This was taken from :iconthornwolf: and her LJ after I found it with :iconswandog:. Pass it on.


1. It is not a “great opportunity” for an artist to have his work seen on your car/’zine/website/bedroom wall, etc. It IS a “great opportunity” for YOU to have their work there.

2. It is not clever to seek a “student” or “beginner” in an attempt to get work for free. It’s ignorant and insulting. They may be “students”, but that does not mean they don’t deserve to be paid for their hard work. You were a “student” once, too. Would you have taken that job at McDonalds with no pay, because you were learning essential job skills for the real world? Yes, your proposition it JUST as stupid.

3. The chance to have their name on something that is going to be seen by other people, whether it’s one or one million, is NOT a valid enticement. Neither is the right to add that work to their “;portfolio”. They get to do those things ANYWAY, after being paid as they should. It’s not compensation. It’s their right, and it’s a given.

4. Stop thinking that you’re giving them some great chance to work. Once they skip over your silly ad, as they should, the next ad is usually for someone who lives in the real world, and as such, will pay them. There are far more jobs needing these skills than there are people who possess these skills.

5. Students DO need “experience”. But they do NOT need to get it by giving their work away. In fact, this does not even offer them the experience they need. Anyone who will not/can not pay them is obviously the type of person or business they should be ashamed to have on their resume anyway. Do you think professional contractors list the “experience” they got while nailing down a loose step at their grandmother’s house when they were seventeen?

If you your company or gig was worth listing as desired experience, it would be able to pay for the services it received. The only experience they will get doing free work for you is a lesson learned in what kinds of scrubs they should not lower themselves to deal with.

6. (This one is FOR the artists out there, please pay attention.) Some will ask you to “submit work for consideration”. They may even be posing as some sort of “contest”. These are almost always scams. They will take the work submitted by many artists seeking to win the “contest”, or be “chosen” for the gig, and find what they like most. They will then usually have someone who works for them, or someone who works incredibly cheap because they have no originality or talent of their own, reproduce that same work, or even just make slight modifications to it, and claim it as their own. You will NOT be paid, you will NOT win the contest. The only people who win, here, are the underhanded folks who run these ads. This is speculative, or “spec”, work. It’s risky at best, and a complete scam at worst. I urge you to avoid it, completely. For more information on this subject, please visit No-Speck.com.

So to artists/designers/illustrators looking for work, do everyone a favor, ESPECIALLY yourselves, and avoid people who do not intend to pay you. Whether they are “spec” gigs, or just some guy who wants a free mural on his living room walls. They need you. You do NOT need them. Say NO to free art.

And for those who are looking for someone to do work for free…;please wake up and join the real world. The only thing you’re accomplishing is to insult those with the skills you need. Get a clue.

Well, I directed my friend to your DA page, so hopefully she'll see it. I'll try to remember to remind her, though.

Heh, sure, she can have permission to use the image. Just know it was a commission for someone else, thus the alterations to his armor. Using the others would probably be a no-no with him though, as one of them is a deceased friend's character, and well, yeah, it just wouldn't be right.
