And again...

Tue Dec 16, 2008, 12:18 PM
I guess it was nice knowing ya....
Someone reported basically all of my deviations. Now I'm wondering if it even makes sense for me to stay on dA. I mean, an artist who can't display 90% of her work?
I have three wallpapers left which weren't reported. Yet.
Problem is all other sites I've looked at so far are also against displaying copyrighted images. But there hardly is anything wiithout a copyright on it!
I guess for now I'm going to move everything over to my Jaina Solo fansite, even the non-SW stuff. But this is still the best site for sharing work and getting known. *sigh*
Any suggestions what I can do now?

Oh this is just taking it to the extreme really - I have seen dozens of wallpapers on DA using art that is already out there, as long as you are stating it isn't your work, but you are using it in work of your own - which you are not making money from I might add - how is there an issue?
If someone wanted to take my work and make it into a wallpaper i'd feel somewhat honoured really, and as long as they didn't sell it or claim it was all their own, I have no issue....it's free advertising if nothing else!

Another site you may want to try is this one [link] umwak pointed me in this direction...not sure if it's got a similar policy though.

See, I've gotten around that recently by displaying my wallpaper as a desktop screenshot, with a link to an offsite server that lets you download the wallpaper I'm using. It's a loophole they haven't quite caught onto yet. ;)

I've had these problems with DA before. Sucks that they aren't consistent with their own rules. :(

It is. I received four messages about individual violations first, then they realized how bad-ass I am and just sent a singel one note saying "33 deviation violations"......

I'd feel the same way. I actually wanted to use dA to spread my work. I love to see it in slideshows at youtube. It's an honour.

It's got the same rule. :(

I may do that too. I just don't know where to put my desktop icons, though. Don't want them taking up 99% of the wallpaper....xD Okay, not as much. Just exaggerating a bit.

They really aren't. I've seen lots of other wallpapers which would be violations.
I think it's worse when you claim it's your own work. I actually met one teen boy here who took other people's work and claimed it was his to become famous.

Ugh, how annoying...well there are image hosting sites like photobucket, there are networks of image hosters there?

Hey... I'm really really sorry for that! I can't say how much this shocked me. Your wallpapers are truly one of the greatest and it's a shame for Deviantart to loose you. They don't know what they miss!! grrr... this is making me angry.
:hug:
Don't give up! Just keep making them! They are wonderful!!

I think I'm gonna upload them again as screenshots.

I have a photobucket account, but so far I've only used it for photos. Would they be allright with wallpapers? :?
