Thanks guys!
@lukatxd Yea, meat vibes!
My last week was chaotic and I'm a bit slow with progress. Except finishing current work for clients, I'm slowly working on my pixel folder. It was a bit of a mess, but mine mess which I was able to navigate and re-organize to some degree. I had to recheck, if I have most up-to-date backups and truly everything. It's fun digging into past and figuring out some of unnamed pixels. Once I'm fully done, I will gladly share some content for showoff.
Important: Overall, I mostly drew tibia sprites only for requesting clients. I was only creating fresh content (Sometimes someone wanted edits of rl stuff etc) dedicated for those particular clients. What I mean is:
- I never did re-sell any of my content.
- I also never donated any content which was paid for already. (as of writing this post, read below for potential plan with requirements)
- I believe I only donated few super-old [non-paid] pixels.
- Overall I haven't shown a lot of my sprites after certain point. I tried avoid spoiling content, mostly in order to avoid ripping them off and seeing in random ots, before my clients manage to use them in their project (and release)
- I also never donated any content which was paid for already. (as of writing this post, read below for potential plan with requirements) My upcoming goal is to trackdown and contact some clients (if possible) and check, if my old sprites are being used somehow or dusting forgotten. I will ask them, if they are okay about donating them to project x or y or something. So,
ONLY, if sprites are dusting and clients are okay with me donating them. I hope I'm understod here, it's kind of pity to see work being unused and allowing sprites to have a chance of second life seems to be good idea. You know, I'm a cool guy? That's why I hope and try to do everything right.
When I have a chance I do some digging to better organize my pixels (Still WIP, I mostly need to renames files and export proper .pngs, then do compilations in a tidy sleek look for myself - archive/inspiration/portfolio). By visiting otland and searching updates on my clients/their projects I noticed one artist (seems his reputation is complicated, to say the least) sharing an edited sprite of mine - here on otland and on his artstation. No credits was given to me as creator or designated project/client originally ordering sprite - at least not any I noticed. It wasn't nice.
Therefore I decided to write this post and make some stuff clear and also share original creature I did for ArchlightOnline
