I still support you.

You say "obsessed" like it's a bad thing.

I admire your willingness to take down the admittedly stolen art, but leaving an angry message of this sort is only going to make people flame you further.

The only way to make a community forget things like this is to not make a big deal out of it.

i agree with agentmoore there.

and to be honest, your journal entry is in a way contradicting yourself. if our opinions were worth crap, then why do you bother typing out this whole journal? why can't you just say.. "fuck them, i can do what i want"?

and wasn't trying to gain positive opinions about your art the first reason why you traced? i dunno. but that's what i see at my end of the spectrum. or was it honestly trying to develop a style? and tbh, your non-traced art had an awesome style to it that's unique to itself.

Really?

it's not really a mistake. it was a conscious decision to trace other's photographs, wasn't it?

i'm unhappy with my art. people on FAZ wanted a testimony, so i gave them one. the whole reason i even did it was to gain a little 'whoo way to go girl!' from people. i wanted to be better so bad. and actually i've gotten better by seeing all angle of like.. an elbow or whatev. this journal was just to put things out there so people don't assume i'm some pyschotic bitch. i'm not.

this is the second journal i've posted. the whole community is posting lots of threads on forums about me and telling people not to commission me and all that crap. i'm trying not to make a big deal. i just need to put things out there. they wanted my testimony, and that's what they got.

Thanks girl.
