	Clipped Wings of A Blue Angel My world, my life, my rants and my artistic views of everything around me. My name is Sivvy aka PhoenixCrash.

	New ArtShop
	New ArtShop


I might open up or redo my artshop. Not too sure. I need to get some more stuff into my portfolio. I'm also trying to lean towards a little bit more realism. Just cause as much as I love anime and manga there's so many of it and it's a competitive subject. I also guess I might have a job offer. Not too sure. phoenixcrash · Sun Jun 06, 2010 @ 10:54pm · 0 Comments

I have put up a Commissioning agreement on my dA journal because there was this one person that was excessively nagging me to draw a LoM fanart picture for an art trade. Since I put it up I haven't gotten a word from that guy, but I opened up my commission slot because I need money right and linked my commission agreement. Now there is a part in the commission agreement where I stated that I have the right to sign, watermark, or embed a signature, or an emblem to my commissioned pieces. So someone reads this and then comments on it, but to me his comment came off as RUDE. Here's what my commission agreement stated. Quote: Commissioning Agreement =================================== 1. I have every right to deny request for commissions without any reasoning. I only take 5 commissions at a time and when I am complete with that 5 list of requests I will accept the next 5. Please check my commission status on my signature and on my profile page before deciding to commission me. 2. I have the right to retain copyrights to the artwork style and labor put into each commission. I do not have the right to claim any OC characters of yours or anyone else's as my own and all rights to OC characters belonging to you or anyone else will remain respectfully yours. 3. I have the right to sign my commissions anywhere visible to show that I am the creator of the commission. Signature will either me a script handwriting on the outlines of the character in image or a phoenix emblem symbol watermarked or embeded to the image. All copyrights of an OC, or already created character are respectfully kept and credit to the proper owners. 4. YOU DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT to remove my commission copyrights, signature, watermark emblem or any other copyrights to a character that is not yours and is not of your own creation. 5. You have the right to cancel your commission request at anytime. Thought this will mean that if you wish to use my services again it won't be on good terms. I do not like having to work for people that can't be patient with the time that it takes to do a commission. If you can't be patient please do not commission me. 6. I will do all types of art although art that contains erotica, sexual nature or hardcore xxx material will have to go through some extra consenting meaning if you are not of proper age I will not do this art for you. If you don't know what's the proper age to request these art from me then don't request it at all. I don't care where you live you must be of proper age to commission me for these type of request. 7. If you are commissioning me through GaiaOnline and are expecting to pay me in Gaia Gold then you MUST send a trade request first with the subject "ART COMMISSION - Type of art you want (Look at the pricing)" It will sit in trading until I have completed the work and you are satified with it. For Gaia Commission it's 200 Gaia Gold to the dollar. $1 = 200 Gold. If you are commissioning me with cash you are to pay me via PAYPAL (or credit card via Paypal) the whole amount if it's up to $25. If your commission is $50 or more you are require to pay half the amount or the whole thing. At least pay half to get me started on the commission. I will not start your commission request unless there something is paid on it. 8. I have the right to NOT show you any progress of the work. If you like to know the progress of your commission you can check my Gaia profile for the progress or this website here for the WIP (Link coming soon). I usually have a WIP image that changes whenever I feel the need to let you know that I am currently working on your request. Also a list of 5 people will be under that WIP image and it will tell you if your request is being worked on or in waiting. 9. By commissioning me you give me the right to use the artwork request in any printed material for my promotional use such as an artbook, business cards, etc. If it's a request of your original character it will be credited to you as your original character but artwork by me. Art Trade Agreement =================================== 1. If you request an art trade you will accept the agreement that being it is a "FREE" request it will take a while to be worked on. I DO have the RIGHT to refuse the art trade and cancel the art trade request at anytime I feel necessary. 2. By requesting an art trade with me you UNDERSTAND that this is not a high priority request and it will be shuffled to the bottom of my list. You UNDERSTAND that my first priority is taking care of my family and the PAID COMMISSION request first before I come to the art trade request. 3. I do have the right to not accept any request or instant message from you regarding the art trade matter. I do have the right to be rude if you don't understand that I have more important things to do than do "FREE" artwork for you. 4. By requesting an art trade with me you ACCEPT the fact that I am a mother and a wife and that my life takes first priority. My priority is set like this, My life and family House work and jobs PAID COMMISSION Practice Projects and Contest Entries Art trade Now if you can accept this then you may have an art trade with me. If you can't accept this and want your request done right away you might as well gather some money and ask for a PAID COMMISSION. 5. I will do art trade request of your Original Characters ONLY. Your art trade request will NOT be high quality as it is with paid commission. Your art trade request will be consisted of pencil sketch, hand ink and a quick color. You will NOT get the original sketch or a CD with the images on it. You will only get a low resolution image file of it through email. Here's his comment about it. Quote: Your new terms are incompatible with work done for Anime Mayhem. The absence of commercial use and derivative work permission pretty much makes this route a dead end for me. My existing artists give me these permissions by contract so I'll have to stick with them. Your insistence to watermark something I would be paying you to do deters me from wanting to hire you for any work. There's other artists with prints available without watermarks or that I can hire for commissions that don't have watermarks on the final piece afterwards. Signatures I don't mind but watermarks are a sore spot with me becuase they deface the work. It's bad enough it has to be done with the publicly displayed stuff (I understand the sentiment there) but I simply don't find getting a defaced product justifiable as something I'm paying money for (would you pay money to get your car painted if the owner was going to put hand-prints on the final paint job all over the car)? My reply: Quote: Well if you're going to be RUDE about it because you seem to put off being just THAT, ff course by "contract" your exisiting artists would give you permission. If it's legal between you and the artist. Also one of the artist you commission is someone that I HOST personally on my server. I ONLY watermark the finish images that is going to be put ONLINE. This is for the fact that people time and time again have NO respect for artist and their hardwork when their work is put online especially those that download the images and then re-uploads them and claim them as their own in their art portfolio. To those that have commission me they and ask for the print to be mailed to them WILL NOT have the watermark all over the image. If they ask for a CD they will have a MERGED PSD file with a layer of my signature on it that they can turn off along with three size images. Anyway point being is that if you're going to complain about a commissioning agreement that an artist put up then you probably have no respect for their work. I have time and time again seen artist being asked for commission and then get ripped off by the people who commissioned them. As well I have been once been hired for work and then got ripped off from my hardwork. There are image thieves out there and though my commission agreement sounds harsh it just states that "I HAVE THE RIGHT TO" do the stuff that I the artist want to do. As quoted and NOTE THE BOLD text: 3. I have the right to sign my commissions anywhere visible to show that I am the creator of the commission. Signature will either me a script handwriting on the outlines of the character in image or a phoenix emblem symbol watermarked or embeded to the image. All copyrights of an OC, or already created character are respectfully kept and credit to the proper owners. My commissioned pisces I only put a tiny emblem somewhere visible and where it will be difficult to edit, or won't put any at all and just put a text copyright. As for your "absence of commercial use and derivative work permission pretty much makes this route a dead end for me" I'm pretty sure you want to commission someone for your "Original Characters" for your RPG, in which I have no power over of it's content and description because it is YOUR characters. Anyway it all comes down to the fact that he wants to make money off artists work. I'm still in wonder if he has permission from the artist to sell their artworks on t-Shirts and such and if he's giving the artist a percentage of the profits of what he makes. Of course his site is very hard to look at an his MMORPG idea has been in the works since 2002. I do remember the guy wanting me to be on his "team" as an animator and artist to get his game idea to launch. Yeah so anyway if he doesn't like the agreement fine, don't commission me, but don't post that huge comment to deter other people from commissioning me. He's only looking through my recent works which are images that are for my purpose. He hasn't looked at the works that have been commissioned or anything like that. The recent personal works have watermarks on them but the commission works don't so apparently he just judging before he researches I guess. Whatever you know. People like him just makes it hard for me to continue on art. phoenixcrash · Thu Apr 05, 2007 @ 04:10pm · 0 Comments

	Fanfiction yes or no?
	Fanfiction yes or no?


Well I am in a story writing mood and I think I want to type up my fanfiction I had written when I was 17 only make it better without the bad grammar. Although I still probably have some bad grammar still but better now than when I was 17. Ah who cares right. I don't get much people that reads my journal or comment on them anyway. I do rather post in my livejournal more than I do any place else. I guess once I get back to using Blogger Liverjournal will be just another thing. But then again I enjoy the cute Icons that I can have. Which reminds me I do need to make more LJ Icons for my account. I guess I shall try to update my journal here as well as LJ seeing as I've been spending my time on Gaia lately. I usually don't spend this much time on Gaia but I don't know why this past three weeks I've been so attracted to Gaia and keep on coming back each day. I guess I'm just in a rut on drawing. I need to get updating on my DE manga. Which I will probably do this weekend hopefully. I know some people are wanting to see more updates. I should get another update in before the end of the month. But not as easy as you think with a baby around you know. I'm working on entering a few Gaia art contest just to get noticed you know. Since Gaia is a huge community. Plus I think I rather want to continue to be a frequent member of the Art Discussion forum. Since I'm always hanging around there. Not that many people care enough to notice me but I really do appreciate the helpful tips on the Artist Alley thread. I would like to see more intelligent discussions you know. But anywho. I am going to work on some tutorials for my tutorials site. And mainly most of the tutorials will probably end up being video tutorials. So it might be extra helpful for people who wants to learn how to draw and CG etc. Well back to surfing the world wide web I guess. phoenixcrash · Wed May 24, 2006 @ 05:22am · 0 Comments

	Been such a long time since last post
	Been such a long time since last post


And although it might be a bit out of the way to even post here since I don't have many friends or people that are interested in my life or what I do. But anyway I might as well update for those that actually does read. I've been stuck with a messy desk lately and tending to my little baby the last few months since January and well it is a tough job. I mean I have put aside my artwork and my drawing cause I have to make sure my baby is ok. My child is number one right now and have to make sure she is loved and has her needs met. Although I could take the help from those that offers but I don't want to be known as the bad mother that just passes her child on to someone else when she can't handle it. I mean I do accept the help when I really need it. Not all the time though. Well my 2 month old, my husband and I will be heading to New York this weekend to visit my mother and father so they can see the baby and well love on her as much as they can before we come back to Florida. I've also been attending to Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories and Kingdom Hearts II. Which I think the series is a good series. Although it took forever for it to come out. But considering the stages and the look of the game I can see why. Compared to the first Kingdom Hearts the second (well third game) in the series has more of a smooth modeling to it. Although you can still see some intersecting geometry in some of the characters the models don't look so pixelated as they did in Kingdom Hearts. I noticed this when my husband was playing the first Kingdom Hearts last night. Yeah he never finished. He would like to finish it first before it goes on to playing the next. Anyway yeah I've been caught up in life and gaming and trying to get back into drawing alot more images because I have a deviant subscription that I need to use... as well as an artwanted subscription. Ah well. phoenixcrash · Mon Apr 10, 2006 @ 01:59pm · 0 Comments
