Ok, so a few days ago, I bought an adoptable from someone one on Gaia. The thing about this person is that I knew they traced. I thought that possibly they didn't trace this time and actually drew something for a change. Before buying it, I asked them a few questions about the character. Like what kind of body it has (since it is just a headshot), they couldn't answer my question. They said they didn't think of it at the time. I should have taken it as a red flag. I bought it from them, and a few days later, someone PMs me saying that it might have been traced. Right now, I'm actually trying to find the original artist who MIGHT have drew this character. Do you guys happen to know who drew this or recognize the art style?

Before you ask, I can't ask for my gold back. As soon as I ask the person if they traced this, they will block me in a heart beat. I probably should have known better before buying it, I probably should taken the red flag more seriously. I just want to know who the original artist is of this piece. I don't think its right for someone to trace, then try and sell your work for fake or real money. I just want the artist to know that someone is tracing their work. They might not care, but they might. I'd care if someone traced my art work and sell off my original character's looks, even if they recolored it. But still, it just doesn't seem right. :/

My rant(ish) is over. I just want to find the original artist of this. I am not really sure if I put this in the right spot, but putting it in the artist galleries wouldn't seem right since this isn't my work. If anyone happens to know the artist, can you please let me know?

@Yuracye: Hey, there is nothing wrong from taking a small break. :)
Posted in Sunrise ✹ [closed] Posted 7 years ago


@Yuracye: Yeah, I know. I'll probably go into the art freebies again, but some times I don't have much luck in there at times.
And please let me know when you have a slot open in here. xD I don't mind spending my all volts here.

@Yuracye: Mine is scattered around the room. xD Its either put up or hiding somewhere. I can't keep my head on straight. Most of my work is done digitally, but I am still having a bit of trouble getting used to my new mouse to draw.

I don't really have the gold on Gaia to buy some art, and I also don't feel like going into the art freebies forum. xD I gotta work on some commissions. But I did end up drawing her with Prisma last night. I do have the volts on here to probably buy some art, but I really don't feel like looking. xD (Plus not much on here lately.)

@Vii: This is a bit late to your response, but Rabbit ended up asking him to play right in front of me on my own discord server. This has really gotten me depressed, even though I really shouldn't let it bother me. I ended up announcing on my server that I was going to take a 5 day break a few days ago. Rabbit thought it was his fault, but I couldn't tell him that it was. Truly, it was both Rabbit's and Hamster's fault. I ended up talking to my boyfriend about it and decided that it might be best for me just to leave it be and not play with them anymore. It really sucks since I was the one that introduced Rabbit to the game and my boyfriend introduced Hamster to the game. I'm probably not going to tell them unless they ask me to play with them. I don't want to end up hurting Rabbit's feelings. He is a good friend.

@Yuracye: xD Lol, its all good.

I have to find my sketch book though. The problem is that I have no idea where one of them will be. I don't wanna have to buy another one. I already bought 2 extra bottles of antacids only to find the missing bottle. Plus I ended up creating a new hybrid xeno OC. xD I wanna see about getting art of her, but not til much much later.


@Picatin: Lol, I hope it doesn't take me a whole month to do your order. xD I'll at least have the full versions of yours delivered and probably accept the trade once I'm done with the last one. :) It really shouldn't be that bad.


@Lady Luna: Thanks. :)

@KeirenKiren: I completely forgot that one was in there. xD I'll accept ya, I'm gonna do Marta for you. Just as a warning, I have some commissions I will be needing to work on too, so I might be a little slow getting on my side. Dx But I will get you a WIP as soon as I can.

@Picatin: Oh course. :) Oh! I did want to ask you a question, would it be ok if I do some other orders while I work around yours? I'll probably be doing one character at a time, so I wanted to ask before I work on the next few orders.

@Yuracye: Sorry that this reply is hella late.

But yeah, I need to see about finding his ref and coloring him in. If anything, just redrawing him.

I haven't used photo bucket in a very long time. I stopped using it because it was always so laggy. DX


@Picatin: O: No changes needed! <3

Sorry this took a while to get to ya. :P


After I'm done with my other order in my shop on Gaia, I'll be starting on your other characters as soon as I can.

I'm gonna talk about something that has been bothering me for the past few weeks, and I just don't know what to do anymore.

So I've been friends with a guy for quite some time now, I'm going to call him Rabbit for this. Rabbit and I usually talk about art or just stuff in general. One day, we happened to be discussing games and he said that he wanted to find a game that we could play together, so I suggest one to him and we start playing.

Another friend of ours, who also happens to be on the same discord server that we hang out on, caught wind of it. I'm going to call him Hamster. Hamster wasn't very active on the server except for the friendly lurking as well as laughing at what ever the lewd pop finds in a random search. Hamster also happened to play the game that I got my friend Rabbit into.

Ok, so it doesn't seem like there isn't anything wrong, Rabbit and Hamster just want to play games. But Hamster DMed me and we talked about a few things. He then tells me that he likes my friend Rabbit. I'm not sure why, but this got me jealous of him. I am in a really good relationship and I don't plan leaving my boyfriend, and I did happen to tell him this too. But the other thing that did bother me was Hamster only wanted to play with Rabbit since he decided to play the same game.

This is the same game that Hamster also happened to make a comment on my play style, way before Rabbit decided to play. I might have taken this the wrong way as well, but Hamster made the comment that he didn't want to play with me since I wasn't really good. But Hamster is completely fine with playing with Rabbit, who has only played the game a few times and is still learning the controls.

I've asked Rabbit to let me know when ever he is up to playing the game, and usually Hamster will pop in and say that he is wanting to play with us as well. Which really doesn't make much sense to me, because when I happen to be online, Hamster never sends me a message asking to play. He only wants to play with me if Rabbit is playing with me. The last few times, I wasn't able to play with Rabbit due to some things I was taking care of. But Hamster will play with him, even though Rabbit's play style is still very fresh.

My boyfriend does think Hamster has gotten big in the britches ever since he introduced Hamster to the game. He understands how I feel on the issue with Hamster and didn't really give much advice on the matter. I'm just not sure why I am jealous of Hamster getting close to Rabbit.

I don't want to hurt either of them or ruin our friendships over some dumb jealousy, but I just can't stand it anymore. I'm just not sure what to do anymore. I barely have any friends as it is, and I don't want to loose a friend that I've been friends with for quite some time.

That's the end of my rant for now.

@Yuracye: Well, him and I did get art togeather of our OCs for our birthday a year back. :) It was really fun.
I did create a trap, but I never finished him. He's a TV head and he loves to eat everything! (If he had a mouth.) I believe I named him Cosmic He loves to where sweaters, its one of the main things that he wears. I never finished him though. I couldn't think of good colors for him. I thought I put his reference on dA, but I guess I didn't. I know that he was placed up on my instagram, but that was quite a while back.

I just had to place one of my orders on hold on Gaia. :( Their account was banned and they don't know why yet. Its kinda upsetting though, but I'm happy that they let me know.
Pica and I will probably be trading for a while. xD She wants more pixels of her OCs, and I don't blame her. :) They are quite cute.


@Picatin: I wouldn't doubt it and I don't blame you! Doing all of that stuff does seem to be pretty hard and stressful. But at least you will be with your loved ones, right?
