Hi everyone! I am participating in the Tumblr-Con USA auction!
Check it out and bid on my art yo (ↀ ‿ ↀ✿)
(Starts at $8 for an image such as shown above ^ WOW what a steal right?? Hurry and jump on this chance!!)

There are fabulous art prizes! Plus all proceeds go toward helping to fund Tumbl-Con!

GO HERE TO BID —> http://homestuckcmt.livejournal.com/2972.html

Or check out the other artists to help the conquest! (get it?) —> http://homestuckcmt.livejournal.com/

Hey guys this is still going but ends tomorrow! Would be awesome if you could check it out, reblog, and possibly even bid?!?! ^v^
Gonna reblog a few times today and tomorrow, so if you find it hella annoying, yo, tumblr savior ‘tumblcon auction’

I might be totally wrong with this and compounding an issue but I've recently seen a post about a certain DA user's tracing/art theft chronicles. I would have you make the decision but looking at colorfuel's adoptable #5 and though there are some differences, I see an awful amount of likenesses to one of your works so I thought I might double check considering the user's past and the fact they are still doing it. failingwind on here has the info about the user and sorry if I cause undue concern

Uwah I haven’t been online for a few days due to work, so I’m not entirely sure when this ask was sent—but if at all possible the anon sending this could show me which piece they feel the artist copied?
The closest thing I can think of, would be my commission for Leinef. The pose is somewhat similar, but if this is the one you’re talkin’ aboouuuutt… well, it feels like it might be heavily referenced, but many things are quite different, including the style. So I don’t find it an issue really.
BUT THANK YOU for bringing it to my concern! I really appreciate how much people look out for me! (smooches you all)

Tracing is only ever okay on a personal, practice level. It should never be posted and claimed as their own, and should ESPECIALLY never be used to make money! (Shame on base makers I’ve seen do this—to me, no less!! -finger shake-)

Referencing, though, is a good thing! Just make sure you don’t use one source too heavily, and keep your own style in mind while you work—especially if you plan to use it for money.

YOU! Points at you I LOVE YOU! Smooches your face and flees before I make a fool of myself~

Some adopts I’m auctioning off in attempts to save up for a new tablet! (mine is dying on me weeps)

If you’re interested, you can view info and bid at:
dA version
FA version

you can also bid via ask if you don’t have either but really want to
(ↀ ‿ ↀ✿)

Jo, your extreme detail in color, the way you use all this different colors and make then blend and mix so wonderfully....I...I can't...you are just simply amazing. I envy you're coloring style, and it's by far the best I've seen. Good Job.

Uwaaah oh man comments like these! They keep me pushing forward!!
They keep me going when I feel like something isn’t right with my art, when I feel I’ve hit a block or a wall and I have no idea how to get around it. When, to others everything looks fine, but to myself I just can’t PLACE it but something is OFF.

And reasons why hearing stuff like this makes me so happy—inspires me to continue going—isn’t just because it’s nice fluff and a compliment (though thank you, you are a huge sweetie! <3)

But because coloring used to be one of my weaker points. I used to be very bad at it, and everything was very flat and dull.
And through years of hard work, I continuously get comments like these now ; o;
And it just
It DRIVES ME ON You can do it Jo!! You can over come anything giving you trouble!! /fistpump

Thank you! <3
(also holy shit, the best?? Damn you flatter me so! kdj;fsd ///// )
