The long and short of it: They’re trying to get media tie-in works without compensating authors fairly by essentially hosing the fanfic community. “Hey, these people write stuff for free! Lets take their work and all their publication rights, pay them a pittance, and they won’t know any better.”

Ooh! Would you be open to non GW2 commissions? I always find commissions a little stifling, but if you enjoy it, that’s awesome!
Sure! I’m not open for commissions right now, but when I start them up again, I’ll let you know!
“SEATTLE—(BUSINESS WIRE)—May. 22, 2013— (NASDAQ:AMZN)—Today, Amazon Publishing announces Kindle Worlds, the first commercial publishing platform that will enable any writer to create fan fiction based on a range of original stories and characters and earn royalties for doing so. Amazon Publishing…
This is amazing but also kind of scary? My immediate thought was people going to popular fanfic sites and stealing stuff to put onto Amazon. Probably just being a bit paranoid, but I dunno, this is one of those things that feels like “wait and see”.
Okay, so after several attempts I finally threw in the towel and decided to just do a hand coloured drawing of Veyll because digital was not working and well, Traditional colour is much more my strong suit. Though the ice crystals in the back got lost.>_>
Copic markers are my friends.
I spent the last week doing commissions for Guild Wars 2 players and I really liked it! I don’t know if it was just keeping busy, or the joy of drawing but it really perked me up. It made me want to do more creative things, work on my own stuff.
But I always hit this hurdle with personal projects: world building. I’ve found if I’m given pre-made material, I can pump out content from art to writing. If its something personal, I sort of go blank. It’s like if I don’t have some pre-defined barriers my mind feels overwhelmed with what I can do, so I don’t do anything. Kind of weird, but ya that’s how my head works.
If only I could manipulate that to my advantage …
I was a very very irresponsible person and drew Steven Universe fanart and I am okay with that. I think this show is adorable.
Steven gets a hold of a magical time travel device and does what any kid would do - he uses it to make jokes. But toying with magic draws trouble to his sleepy beach town and Steven has to step up and save the day - with more jokes.oh man steven universe looks really cute!!! it’s great seeing rebecca sugar’s style animated yessss
