Hi! Welcome to my profile! Before you begin browsing, may I first say a few things...
1. Thanks for stopping by! I really appreciate comments and views, and favorites make me smile!
2. This SHOULD be #1, because it's so important:
NO STEALING.
Seriously.
Right-clicking and Saving to your computer is not okay. As you notice, I don't put watermarks on my art. I don't think it helps the artwork any, and I really don't want to go through the process of "prepping" my art before I post. My art is here for you to look at and enjoy, but I will not be too thrilled with you if you steal. It's not borrowing, it's not flattery, it's theft. And if you want to risk it, go ahead. But I really don't think you want lawyers all over you when I find out (and I will find out). Don't doubt me, I have the capabilities to do everything I just said.
That being said, if I find out theft from my collection has been happening, the watermarks go on. If that doesn't at least halt the flow of theft, art will be taken down.
That being said, thank you for paying attention. I hope you've taken these words to heart. This also goes for OTHER artists as well.
3. I am a journalist of sorts, as well as a semi-professional author. I say semi-professional because there is a difference in styles of publishing in the literary world and I haven't made it to a professional point yet. I do travel articles, general fiction, and, what I am most known for, "band and drum corps literature." I love writing, and I love reading, but I will not proof-read or assist ("beta-ing," ect...) your writing. I am a full time student studying in a very hard profession and I hardly have enough time to write my own stories! ^_^
4. I feel it's perfectly fine to favorite works of art without commenting. I also feel tracing is not art and will always, always, always report a piece of questionable art. (Questionable defined as potentially stolen, mostly). This is deviantART, not MySpace, not Facebook, and for artists and art lovers, not truly for networking, in my own belief. I won't "friend" people I don't know in real life, sorry.
5. None of my art (especially photography) is up for print. I use 90% of my photography and sketches in publications and as resource art for a potentially publishable project. Sorry. Because I mostly do photography (and because, in my opinion, my sketching leaves something to be desired), I don't offer commissions.
6. Thank you very much, once again, for stopping by! If you can live with my guidelines, you are more than welcome here any time!
Happy Reading,
~goldnote
