The End of the Beginning

Sun Feb 8, 2009, 7:25 PM
Hello Everybody! Hope you are all well!

This is just going to be a short message to just say, in a few words, "I'm moving!" Just to be clear, this doesn't mean I am leaving DA! ^_^

As some of you by now may already know, last week I created a new profile page here on DeviantArt. There are several reasons for this, which I go into in (frankly) excruciating detail on the new page - one of them is simply that I wanted to change the name (to an extent).


As to what happens with this old profile, I'm not really sure. I could use it simply as a back-up profile, in case something bad happens to the other one. I also thought that I might place pieces of art up here first, as pilots as it were, basically placing drafts up here first to get some feedback and then placing the altered and amended piece up on my main gallery page. I did consider splitting the art among the pages, with different art on different pages, but I am thinking against it, as it would be too confusing and chaotic, plus it would undermine the "clean break" aspect of having a new profile. Or it could just be a "museum piece"! But you never know, I may pop by this old profile still!

Ironically, I have managed to put more pieces of art on my new page in a week than I have on this old one in two whole years! Oops! ^_^

Anyway, I just wanted to make everybody (especially those of you who are Watching me) to be aware of the shift and to make any alterations to saves and favourites that you need to! The reason I left a week between creating the new profile and posting this message is that I have been tinkering with the page. The new profile is not finished yet, its still incomplete, but there is some stuff there to see at least! ^_^

I guss it would be helpful if I gave you all the link so you could find the new profile wouldn't it?! My new profile is here :iconserendipityjones:

Thanks to you all for your support for this old profile, hope to see you on the new one!

Thanks again!

Sere! ^_^

PS - Goddammit, this is the third time I've had to write this out - bloody Internet Explorer, now I remember why I prefer Firefox! ^_^;;;

Well, that depends. There's a great debate over whether or not images should be watermarked (with good reasoning on both sides), however I've never been a fan of watermarking myself.

The reality is, if it ever came to dispute (legal or otherwise), you'll always have the originals to back up your case. Outside of that, if people want to use your work, I don't see that there's a way to stop them. I figure the only way it'd ever affect you directly is if you were seeking employment and someone claimed your work as their own, or if someone turned your photos into an incredibly successful product. Both are unlikely scenarios, and again, both are resolved by you owning the originals.

In the end though, it's your choice. I just figure, if people like your gallery enough to want to appreciate your art, why penalise them with a big ugly blob?

Thanks for the :+fav:. It brings me happiness that you like my work. If you enjoyed that, you should read more of it when you get the chance ;)
:iconserendipityegs:
Hehe, when I get the chance is the operative word there! Hopefully I will at some point! ^_^

:hug: Maybe I should request that you write me something...? In fact, I think I will. Comment back if you'd like to do it. :handshake:
:iconserendipityegs:
Me?! M...Me write you something?! (Hehe, thats how it sounded in my own head! ^_^). Um, er, eek! Wow, I've not really written much before, hardly anything (thats why I want to get into it and give it a go, so I can get the hang of it and improve! And learn how to!).

I really want to say yes, to give it a try, but at the same time, right now, I am so busy with university work I couldn't give it the attention it deserves. Still, its a cool idea! What sort of ideas did you have?! ^_^
