I'm Adapting (I think?)
Eclipse isn't the total clusterfuck that I had anticipated, but it still sucks. I feel that I'm limited in this format where I could move freely in the tried and true one. Now I just toggle between "Watch" and "Notifications." That's the extent of my dA use these days. At least I can do that much. Before Eclipse was officially the default, I could barely perform those functions. I'm pissed that "points for llamas" is gone. (Or is it just hidden really well?). I always loved getting a few extra points for clicking a couple of buttons. Also, I don't think many people know how to give llamas anymore. I've only gotten 2 since the 20th. I used to get around 5 to 10 a day. I only just found out how to gift llamas myself. I'm slowly adapting to the changes, but I'm not at all thrilled.

Update on Copyright Infringement Stuffs
The day prior, I found 2 different shops on Etsy selling 2 mugs and a t-shirt with the same drawing on them. I was courteous and sent them both DM's requesting that they remove the infringing items. One seller got back to me within an hour and graciously removed her mug. The other seller never got back with me regarding her mug and t-shirt listings, so I filed a DMCA on those 2 listings. Etsy removed both listings within a matter of hours. Props to Etsy for handling the situation the way it should've been handled.
Sorry for the bombardment of deviations today and tonight, but I've been making a lot of shit. This is just the tip of the iceberg, but I'm not going to burden y'all with all of it.
I'm Old Now
I've been having problems with people stealing my Yoda drawing that's in my Digital Art gallery and selling it on mugs and t-shirts on Etsy and Amazon. It's been a bitch trying to get Amazon to take it down. I said something in the Etsy forums about it, and some dumbass accused me of infringing on Disney for drawing fan art even though I've never profited off of it. She went on to say that people shouldn't be able to post fan art online. What a twat!
Is anybody I know still around? I'd love to hear from you.
