revoking is both against the rules and the law without a very specific pre existing agreement, under no circumstances should you ever send a "revoked" design back of your own will. do. not. transfer. a. revoked. character. back. ever. this is called accepting a settlement. and makes legal help impossible. if someone "revokes" one of your characters and tries to steal it back, contact the admin right away. they will probably fix it. if they don't, then you take it to court. you will absolutely win unless you either; signed a new contract, chargedback, or traded for it with stolen goods. do not make further negotiations with the designer or previous owners under any circumstance. period. do not accept a settlement. block anyone who threatens you with illegal policies. i often see victims of revoking make lots of mistakes which gives them no legal recourse. just because sudo doesn't understand licensing laws means nothing. sure, they can boot you off th for "violating a designer's tos" but thats utter bs in the real world. there is no such thing as a tos for a character you own. a tos is for a licensing agreement. characters in th are not licensed. they are whole freehold items. toyhouse is a temporary platform. however you can own your characters for the rest of your life and longer. when you purchase something, you get what's considered "consumer's rights". it essentially means if you break the terms for a service you use, the service can refuse to continue to do business with you, they however cannot come into your house and take the things you own. thats theft. i'm so sick and tired of seeing this shit everywhere. i wish members of this community would learn about art and licensing laws. please i'm begging you guys to educate yourselves.

would be a shame if artists knew that if you struggle with drawing props there are sites like pixelsquid, which are used by industry professionals for references to draw/trace over objects. would be a shame if artists knew about how you can move the object around to get the exact angle you need and take a screenshot whenever you're satisfied. and it would extra suck if artists knew it also had stuff like furniture and vehicles as well, if you struggle drawing those. we wouldn't want artists on art fight to know about this and take advantage of it.

Friendly reminder that if you weren't aware of the TOS before receiving a character, the original owner CANNOT revoke it according to Toyhouse rules.

"If you wish to revoke a design from someone after a completed transaction...please first ensure you have proof that you informed this user at the time of purchase that you have the right to confiscate the character, or that you retain ownership of the artwork and design upon sale. Having a rule covering this in your TOS also works, but we will require evidence that the recipient saw and accepted these terms."

It does say "transaction" but I don't see why it shouldn't apply to gifting. TOS changing, receiving from a game, or other related things means you couldn't have seen and agreed to the terms, so any "revoke" rules don't apply to you.

yep

Discord servers that force you to comment to the person above before you can post are just breeding fake compliments

I kind of agree with this one, as much as I believe the artists deserve some attention it can negatively impact the artists as a whole. You can normally tell if the compliments are genuine or not but posting your art for the approval of others is a bad mindset and will only hurt you as an artist, draw for yourself not others.

yeah so

one thing led to another

I'm thinking of doing physical stickers of a line of art pieces I'm calling Tiny Animals. They would typically range between one and two inches, and each run would have unique markings and colors. They would be $5 per sticker.

The Tiny Animals look like this. Would people be interested in them?

Antis and the Jaws Effect

So apparently, the anti movement is now citing the Jaws effect as a reason why Morally Bad Fanworks Make People Do Bad Things In The Real World, and I’m just… honestly staring into the camera like I’m on The Office, because yes, the Jaws effect is a salient example of how fiction - or rather, reactions to fiction - can have an impact on the real world, but it demonstrates exactly the opposite point to the one antis think it does.

Because when Jaws came out, sharks weren’t the ones reading it. No humans reacted to Jaws by saying, “oh, fucking SWEET, seeing this enormous shark murder people in a book/film means it’s totally okay for ME to murder people.” No: what happened was, people looked at Jaws and said, “wow, this completely fictional story about a shark doing murder must be STONE COLD FACTS, and therefore justifies KILLING EVERY SHARK,” to the point where actual science about sharks was ignored and their populations were decimated and it’s taken us literal decades to walk back even a fraction of the harm done by shark-fearful zealots.

The Jaws effect doesn’t support the claim that dark, squicky or otherwise problematic fanworks can turn people into predators. It’s evidence that, when reactionary people confuse fiction with reality and use their fear of the former to justify acts of persecution in the latter, there are terrible, widespread consequences that do nothing to mitigate the thing they were actually scared of in the first place, but which have a toxic cultural half-life regardless. 

It’s evidence, in other words, that the anti approach to things is a goddamn bad idea.

Proship is not a dirty word

I just want to SCREAM! Proship is not a dirty word or label! It doesn’t mean anything BAD! It doesn’t mean you’re pro-real life abuse, kinks, whatever nonsense people come up with. It’s just a silly internet term to show support for people to make fanart and fanfics! Whatever fiction people make, cute sfw stuff, sexy fun stuff, or the dark and painful stuff! It’s ALL GOOD STUFF! It all deserves to exist! “But what about…” YES ALL OF IT. ALL OF IT DESERVES TO BE MADE AND EXIST IF THE CREATORS WANT TO MAKE IT. We do not know why people create the things they do. But I know some people need a voice and fiction is the only way they can be heard. It is up to ourselves to curate our online experience using website features like block and mute. Use websites that don’t host art you don’t want to see. To this day I am still getting abusive messages. People send me anonymous compliments or delete their public messages of support to me to avoid getting caught in the crossfire. I have no idea what I have done to earn this ire. I have no way to face it. No one left to help. I just have to scream into the void. Please protect fiction. We all need it. We all desperately need it now more than ever. No matter how much hate mail you send me or public call outs you post about me, I will scream this from the top of my lungs that you are WRONG. AJD . ART
