Rat's Saucy Nest
Month
Argh, I’m really sorry. I didn’t knew about that. I asked and Leyanor (the head of the project) assured me it should work again in a couple of hours. Apparently it’s because the physical copies are almost sold out. So they had to put the whole system on hold, even for the digital ones because of technical reasons. Digital versions should be available very soon again.
It literally just happened a couple of minutes ago and the update wasn’t out on their page yet. It is now though, yay for Swiss reliability.
Sorry, I’m not going to distribute a pirated copy of something I helped create. If you’re really interested in getting the pictures, consider buying the magazine. There’s the possibility to buy a digital version, which will be in a way higher quality than a scanned copy anyways. Or at least have the decency to ask somewhere else. (I’m sure it’s going to turn up somewhere eventually, anyways.) The profit of each sale goes to all the contributing artists to support them. Including me.
Seriously, that’s like going to Microsoft and asking them if they please give you a torrent and crack for Windows 7.
I should be able to give new info about that tomorrow! Stay tuned. And thank you very much for your interest.
Good News: They restored my account and I was able to withdraw all the funds! And I’m free to keep using my account, as long as I don’t use it again to “sell certain sexually oriented materials or services” (I assume they mean pony smut with that.)
So I just have to figure out how I do the remainder of the Donation Drive, since Paypal is out for that, but I’m sure I’ll find something soon! I’ll keep y'all updated.
Mood lifted. <3
Edit: I got my account back! So now I only have to find an alternate method for the running Donation Drive and everything is back to normal. I should be able to post something regarding that in the next few days.
Old post:
I was reported to Paypal and they decided that my fundraise is violating their Acceptable Use Policy, since I’m technically selling adult artwork through their services. So they “limited” my account, effectively completely freezing it temporarily. They gave me the chance to appeal this decision, which I did. But in order to do so, they asked me to remove all associations with Paypal from this tumblr. (So the donation button and of course the buy now button from the fundraise.)
I wasn’t aware that it’s against Paypal’s terms to use it to sell adult oriented stuff (since basically everybody here on tumblr does it), so it’s completely my fault for being that stupid and not informing myself beforehand. I hope they will unfreeze my account soon, so I have access to the funds on it. And I’ve learned that I won’t use paypal for anything NSFW related anymore, only for my clean deviantart stuff, etc.
Let that be a fair warning for everyone out here who also uses paypal for that kinda stuff that it’s against their Acceptable Use Policy.
For now the whole event is on hold, you’re not able to buy any more tickets at the moment. Don’t worry, all previous sales are still valid and will participate in the raffle!
I’ll let y'all know as soon as I know more and when the event continues, since I have to find an alternative for the remainder of it.
Isn’t Twilight officially an Alicorn since 4 months or so now? I wasn’t aware people still filter everything Twilicorn related out, sorry. I didn’t meant to tease or anything. I’ll use the “Alicorn Twilight” tag from now on!
tfw one of your fiancée’s newest real life friends accidentally stumbles upon your clop tumblr and asks her “Is that him?! I like his artstyle!”
The feelings of embarrassment and pride kinda eat themselves up.
Announced at E3 2013, the Battlefront franchise is reborn. Check out the teaser for Star Wars Battlefront.
Teaser here. Serious goosebumps were had. Keep in mind that the franchise was basically dead for the past 7 years. And that there was absolutely no hype prior to that teaser. I love how the crowd starts to cheer even before the logo appears. That’s a sign of a strong franchise.
And that’s enough nerdgasm for tonight!
REALLY? OH MY GOD BEST E3 EVER.
Please let it be an AAA Title and no handheld/f2p/casual thing. The concepts they had all those years ago just before they canceled it was amazing.
It would be so wonderful if Star Wars would get a good game again. It’s been ages.
Well, I’m still not completely back, since I’m only doing sketchy-stuff (or coloring old work, as of today). It still takes me at least four time as long as before the accident and the hand gets tired very easily and starts to hurt quickly.
But yeah, it’s great to be able to produce something! Today it’s been exactly a month since I had surgery. After the surgery I expected about 6-8 weeks to be able to fully draw like before. So it’s in general pretty good news and I’m very much happy with how my healing progresses.
During this month I realized how important drawing to me is, because I missed it so much. It made me actually really sad that I wasn’t able to draw. Drawing has become such a big part in my life, and it’s great to have it back again. At least somewhat!
So, I just had a consultation with my handsurgeon. He says everything is gonna be ok, definitely no permanent damage. I should be able to start drawing again in 5-6 weeks. Hand will be back fully functional in about 8. So bronycon shouldn’t be in danger.
Surgery is going to be on Friday and I’ll have to stay for a night in the hospital. I’m at home now, enjoying boredom till Friday. I’ll get a neat metal plate on the underside of my wristbone where he can screw the bone together. Sounds fun.
Anyways thank y'all again for all the nice messages! Typing still sucks. :( And I already miss drawing greatly.
Oh, and the surgeon also said that it would help accelerate the healing process if y'all draw me some Appleteats.
Didn’t forget, just wasn’t in the mood for teats today.
Read more for some random shipping talk.
tfw I draw teats and get no negative responses. :D
I remember a couple of months ago when I’ve drawn them for the first time, my inbox was filled with whiny complaints and hate almost immediately. I guess time has corrupted the fandom and changed it’s taste.
Or the haters are just complaining less and don’t feel so self-entitled anymore, but that does sound unlikely.
Anyways, thank you all. I’m glad you like it or at least stick with me even when I draw something “strange” every so often. It means a lot to me.
