Can't stop fanart, if it exists there is fanart of it~

in the lorax movie (1970s version) you can’t see the onceler except for his gloves and he has no redeeming qualities.

we could’ve avoided oncest but modern lorax movie creators had to make him visible and sing songs…[speech on how this is modern capitalism]

Finally have an official design for Spins!

Hey guys, it's always opeeeeeeeeeen ! 💜🎶

I can draw a lot stuff like fanarts (Overwatch, Dead Cells, Undertale, ...), Oc, Sona, sketch, chibi, illustration,... Nooooo, I don't need money, I don't !

By the way

Love the inspirations so much! Just remember your Spinels and give them love.

SU Movie spoilers ahead but:

Spinel doesn't just look like Mickey Mouse...

She goes from looking like Mickey Mouse: the beloved toon-

To looking like Oswald the Lucky Rabbit: the forgotten toon

Fanfiction Authors: HEADS UP

(Non-authors, please RB to signal boost to your author friends!)

An astute reader informed me this morning that one of my fics (Children of the Future Age) had been pirated and was being sold as a novel on Amazon:

(And they weren't even creative with their cover design. If you're going to pirate something that I spent a full year of my life writing, at least give me a pretty screenshot to brag about later. Seriously.)

I promptly filed a DMCA complaint to have it removed, but I checked out the company that put it up -- Plush Books -- and it looks like A LOT of their books are pirated fic. They are by no means the only ones doing this, either -- the fact that """publishers""" can download stories from AO3 in ebook format and then reupload them to Amazon in just a few clicks makes fic piracy a common problem. There are a whole host of reasons why letting this continue is bad -- including actual legal risk to fanfiction archives -- but basically:

IF YOU ARE A FANFIC AUTHOR WITH LONG AND/OR POPULAR WORKS, PLEASE CHECK AMAZON TO SEE IF YOUR STORIES HAVE BEEN PIRATED.

You can search for your fics by title, or by text from the description (which is often just copied wholesale from AO3 as well). If you find that someone has stolen your work and is selling it as their own, you can lodge a DMCA complaint (Amazon.com/USA site; other countries have different systems). If you haven't done this before, it's easy! Here's a tutorial:

HOW TO FILE A COPYRIGHT COMPLAINT FOR STOLEN WORK ON AMAZON.COM:

First, go to this form. You'll need to be signed into your Amazon account.

Select the radio buttons/dropdown options (shown below) to indicate that you are the legal Rights Owner, you have a copyright concern, and it is about a pirated product.

Enter the name of your story in the Name of Brand field.

In the Link to the Copyrighted Work box, enter a link to the story on AO3 or whatever site your work is posted on.

In the Additional Information box, explain that you are the author of the work and it is being sold without your permission. That's all you really need. If you want, you can include additional information that might be helpful in establishing the validity of your claim, but you don't have to go into great detail. You can simply write something like this:

I am the author of this work, which is being sold by [publisher] without my permission. I originally published this story in [date/year] on [name of site], and have provided a link to the original above. On request, I can provide documentation proving that I am the owner of the account that originally posted this story.

In the ASIN/ISBN-10 field, copy and paste the ID number from the pirated copy's URL. You'll find this ten-digit number in the Amazon URL after the word "product," as in the screenshot below. (If the URL extends beyond this number, you can ignore everything from the question mark on.) Once this number has been added, Amazon will pull the product information automatically and add it to the complaint form, so you can check the listing title and make sure it's correct.

Finally, add your contact information to the relevant fields, check the "I have read and accept the statements" box, and then click Submit. You should receive an email confirmation that Amazon has received the form.

Please share this information with your writer friends, keep an eye out for/report pirated works, and help us keep fanfiction free and legally protected!

NOTE: All of the above also applies to Amazon products featuring stolen artwork, etc., so fan artists should check too!

Howdy, everyone!

It’s been a while, hasn’t it! We apologize for the radio silence, as there’s been a lot of shuffling and getting things done behind the scenes. Rest assured; the game is still on its way toward completion!

To start things off, we’ve been in the process of getting things organized on our end. Our lovely coordinator has been hired and has been doing a lot of the back-end work to get us in shape and ready to finish the game. Unfortunately, our initial goal of all assets being completed by the end of 2024 is no longer a likely goal as a result, but things should be a lot faster going forward.

It’s not all bad news, though! With things well underway, we’ve got a few more surprises that we hope to release to you soon. The demo re-release will be on its way hopefully by early next year, with some updated art that we hope you’ll all enjoy! Plus, maybe some new dialogue, if you know where to find it ;)

As one last note, we’ll also be giving quarterly updates starting today! We want to keep our fans better informed, and we’re sorry for letting things fall by the wayside. Hopefully you’ll enjoy the content we bring you soon…with maybe some surprises in tow.

Thank you all for following our game, and we hope that you enjoy the final product on its release!

Journey to the West Discord Art and Writing Competition

The Journey to the West discord is hosting an art and writing competition centering around Sun Wukong.

Prompt:

Multiversal mash up! - Have one or more of your favorite Monkey Kings interacting with other versions of himself.

These include the Wukong from the original JTTW novel or unofficial sequels, as well as movies, TV shows, video games, or even your OC Wukong.

Details:

Art and writing only

The contest runs from October 1st to the 17th.

The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners will be announced on October 20th.

Criteria:

Art: structure, color palette, background, foreground, framing

Writing: structure, wording, grammar, character accuracy

Discord Judges:

Prizes:

I will be offering three statues from my personal collection. The 1st place winner gets to choose what statue they like best.

The first is a traditional religious idol carved from wood. It is roughly 40 cm tall. It is worth several hundred dollars.

The second is a new ceramic statue just shy of 36 cm.

The third is a vintage ceramic statue that is 35 cm.

Shipping:

The statues are free to the winners, but you must pay for the shipping. I will cover the initial cost.

The conservative estimate is $80 USD for shipping from Taiwan. But the actual cost might be lower given your location and if you don't mind a slower shipping method (i.e. by boat as opposed to plane). If you choose a faster method, then the cost obviously goes up.

Most importantly, you don't have to pay me back until after the statue arrives. And if you can't afford to pay the full cost all at once, you can divide it up into smaller payments. I don't want the shipping to scare off talented artists and writers.
