where I dump my scribbles
Heya, Orlando! May i ask where did you get this theme? (The theme of you Tumblr page, of course haha) I've seen alot of people using it and i've been looking for it everywhere!

Heya!

The theme I use is called Redux! :)

I love your art, it's gorgeous. But I think if you have one major weakness it's that you're much too nice! I just watched you thank and apologize to the person who removed your watermarks! You should have ripped them a new one!

Hehe, thank you!

I thanked that person for coming forward and telling me why they did what they did and I did apologize for any overly negative comments they may have received, if any. But, I’ll be honest to  say I’m not sorry for bringing more attention to the post and possibly causing some folks to go make mention of my disapproval for it.

I don’t want to be rude in my response, even though I did not approve of them doing that and it does make me quite upset. And I do sincerely appreciate that person coming to me in any form and giving their word on the matter, rather than simply ignore. But I think one or two folks can agree when I say that what they did was wrong, and I definitely don’t apologize for calling out more attention to it. :)

Who is your favorite newcomer in ssb4

I’ve really enjoyed playing Duck Hunt and the Koopalings more and more (specifically Bowser Jr. and Roy)!

I still need to learn how to actually fight successfully with ‘em, but gosh are they fun! <3

Hi. I'm the guy who removed the watermarks on that 5N@F fanart you did and I want to clear some things up. Firstly, I didn't do it to "steal" your work. Nor did I do it to provide others with a clean version of your picture. I didn't do it out of spite towards you or your followers. I did it to see if I could remove the watermarks, as a technical exercise. Also because IMO the amount of watermarks was obnoxious and I wanted to take a jab at it. Also just for the laughs. Hope this cleared it up.

Heya.

I didn’t say that you were ‘stealing’ my work. (Any mention I may have made beforehand about removing watermarks and possibility of having your work stolen was being said in general terms, but wasn’t directed at you, as you weren’t taking credit for it or anything like that).

While I’m glad my picture could’ve served as exercise for you, I still didn’t really appreciate that being done. Yes, the amount of watermarks could have been seen as excessive. But they were there for a reason, mainly because of previous events occurring.

It more so got to me a bit because you removed not only the watermarks, but my smaller signature in the upper left hand corner. If you at least kept one of my watermarks/signatures up there, I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t have minded as much. But removing all of my forms of art credit did rub off on me the wrong way.

I do thank you coming here and wanting to have your say in this. My apologies if there was any negative things said towards you if folks on 4chan were making mention of it. Wasn’t my intention to cause trouble for anyone, but all the same, I just really don’t appreciate that with any of my art. <:)

Completely random question but do you ever think about creating a Koopasona?
Anonymous

Hehe, that thought’s never crossed my mind! As much as I love Koopas (Bowser is my favorite Mario character), I’m not that committed to it!

Plus, I already have, like, two personal characters for two different fandoms! That’s more than enough for me in my book! :’D

ER, NO, scratch that! Technically three! I kinda almost forgot about pony fandom. :’D

Same 4-chan-hating anon here. Last message on the topic lest you think I'm dragging this out. But I REALLY do think you're looking at this wrong. Why would someone crop your image? To hide the watermark, OR to get the picture they want. If they're trying to remove watermarks, THEY WILL WIN. Ignore those losers. More interesting is the latter: people wanting close-ups or transparencies or gifs. Why not upload and link just a few alternate crops of your great art, with resized copyright to match?

Honestly, both. There has been instances before where someone has intentionally cropped an image of mine to pass of a character featured in it as their own, as well as the art itself. Sure, more times than not it is to get the face of the main subject of the picture.

If you proceed to do that when using it as an icon, banner, or something along those lines on a website, I’m completely fine with that as long as there’s credit somewhere on your profile stating who’s done it. That, I’m most appreciative about. But if you proceed to upload a full photo of mine somewhere, I would appreciate it being left as is. I don’t think to post different files/cropped images of the same general picture, as people tend to do that automatically themselves when using it as an avatar somewhere. And I’d find it pretty presumptuous of me to think anyone would automatically want to use my art for something simple like that. Plus, more times than not, a person’s more likely to see the full/’original’ image of a picture, rather than the cropped versions of it, if they find it randomly online. Would prooobably be no point to it, heh!

Still, regardless of the person on 4chan proceeding to remove my watermarks/signatures on my picture to apparently benefit others in getting the cleaner file, it is still disrespectful to do to an artist. An artists signature is there for a reason.

Yes, I’m aware that the folks on there (or heck, anywhere else) could care less about that. That’s just some peoples’ way of thinking.

Since no one’s claiming they made the picture, putting their own sort of logo/signature on the picture or anything like that, I have been ignoring it. But it still does not make it right.

Just my opinion on the matter. 

But I do appreciate your thought on submitting alternative crops of some kind. Thank you. :)

How much does Foxy Love Chica...?

Enough to share his loot with her!

Which is saying a lot, cause a pirate reeeally loves his loot.

Having stuff taken and posted on 4chan would be the equivalent of me taking your picture, uploading it to imageshack, sending the link to my friends and having them say "stop sending us pictures, we're trying to play DotA" Then I forget account pass.

Ah, fair enough. <:) I’m not at all aware of how 4chan works, nor do I have that much desire to learn. But all the same, it still rubs off on me the wrong way that anyone would do that. 

I’d think it wouldn’t hurt to at least make mention that the artist of said piece does not approve at all. <X) (I know this would be fairly useless! But I’m just silly like that, haha!)

But... But guys... They're animatronics, they don't have a gender...

orlandofox:

I still say that robot is a gender. Could always go that route too B]

[[They could also identify as being male or female, or even being agender or gender fluid. /shrugs/]]

I know of many folks that  keep Bonnie agender! c:

But anyway you identify ‘em is no big deal, at least to me! I suppose having a set gender tends to be easier for folks when referring back to a character ('he’/'she’ being used to refer to a single person vs. 'they’ which is technically used as plural and refers to more than one person). :)

No offense to you at all. but I prefer to see bonnie as a girl. I, for lack of a better phrase, "do not condone" homosexuality. Nothing against you (as I know you said you lean towards it) but seeing bonnie as a girl just makes sense to me~

*shrugs* None taken! We all have our different opinions on the matter (heck, with any of the animatronics)!

And, if referring to specifically my Bonnie and the lil’ Freddy-crush thing I have going on, that’s also why I make my Bonnie androgynous; to satisfy all viewer’s preferences. :)

And appreciate you wanting to tell me this! I don’t see homosexuality (or any preference) as a bad thing, but it’s fine to not like it either! Can’t expect everyone to have the same viewpoints on things, just at the very least respect one another!
