Okay it's taken me awhile to decide how to do this, and this was the best option I saw.

From now on any "free" packages I will be submitting will be no larger than 800px in height or width. I've already re-uploaded quite a few and I'm working on the rest. Now, if you want the full resolution OR to use them commercially the entire package will cost $3 USD regardless of size or how many are included. Flat rates are easier to manage in bulk. You MUST purchase the full resolution package if you wish to use anything commercially. This goes for selling prints and comissions as well. Once you do this, you can use them however you want.

If I have already given you the OK for prints/commissions/your commercial project this does not affect you. This only affects projects from this date and on.

And I also know that some of you already have a bunch of these downloaded, I'm not asking for any payment, however, I trust you will respect my new terms and not redistribute the full resolutions, which is against my terms any way.

Sadly enough, I've also had to watermark my preview images because people are chopping off the upper portion and claiming the packages are theirs. Redistribution of any kind is a NO.

Loose textures in my gallery (Texture ###) are NOT to be used in any commercial projects, commissions, or prints.

I fully expect there to be bumps in the road with this so bare with me.

Please ask any questions you may have, I will gladly clarify.

EDIT: Selling prints on dA is OK!

Okay I want to start off with commercial work info. I have been getting so many requests for permission to use my work commercially, that it's kind of mind-numbing. I don't want to come off as a bitch, but if you're making money using my work, I feel like I should be able to make some money too, ya know? HOWEVER. I still believe that you guys should be able to use my work for free if you aren't making profit either, so putting a price tag on everything wouldn't feel right to me. So until I can figure out how I want to handle commercial permission, and unless I have already previously given you permission to do so, I will not be allowing any of my textures (this does not include exclusive textures) to be use in any commercial projects or any type of profiting project, this DOES include fake currency. This is only until further notice. I have clearly made this statement in my terms of use which is linked on ALL of my resources.


Now on to the features! I can't believe how incredible every single one of you are! You never cease to amaze me with your work! Again, as I've stated before, these are random so please don't be offended if your work didn't make it here.

Okay I know I kind of sorta suck with this, but I'm trying I totally skipped out on February's features... so I'm mashing Feb & March together so get ready for this haul. You guys are amazing! Again, these are kinda randomized so please don't be offended if yours isn't here, you all just the same

In other news... I'm writing a resume draft at 12:24AM. What the hell is wrong with me lol

Hey guys!

I just wanted to make a quick journal congratulating ~Outraejss for winning the three month premium membership for having the most votes! I also want to thank every one of you who voted, even once, for my friend Danny. He didn't win unfortunately but let's hope he will continue to pursue his dream in film regardless! These are the amazing people who took the time to vote for him:



They will all be featured in my journal entries for at least once month

Thanks again everyone, I appreciate you all so very much!

People who have voted so far:

THANK YOU!!

----------

Hey guys, I know this is super late and I apologize for that! Life always seems to pick up and get busy when I finally think it's slow enough to make some bigger changes. Blah. Anyhow, I'm sure you guys are like "lolwut free exclusive textures?". Sooo here's the deal.

A friend of mine joined a contest on Facebook called "Dockers, Wear The Pants Project". Basically you give a brief statement of what your dream is and if you get enough votes you win some money to help you achieve that dream. Anyhoo he's really into film and wants to buy expensive camera equipment and what not, so I figured I'd try to help him get some more votes.

I know most of you have Facebook too So if you want to be super awesome, please go to this [link] and vote for him Facebook will ask you if it's okay to allow the Dockers app to run, you need to allow it in order to vote

And as a reward to those who take the time to help my friend, I will be giving a mini package of 6 exclusive textures (2 from each exclusive pack) to each person who votes and you will be featured in my journal for a month. So after you vote, note me with the total number of votes after you have voted. (IE previously 76 votes, then I clicked vote, so the number I would send would be 77). I will check his page to make sure it's legit. The contest ends March 15th.

ALSO. You can vote once every 24 hours. Who ever has voted the most by time the contest ends (March 15th) I will give them a free 3 month subscription as well Make sure you still note me with the before and after number so I can keep track though

I appreciate all of you who take the time to do this!

And on to January 2011 features! These are completely random so please don't be discouraged if your artwork was not listed here.

:thumb193551999::thumb194699833::thumb192815347::thumb193551999::thumb193673011::thumb192521981::thumb192175717:

Remember comment me with your work if you'd like a chance at it showing up in Febs entry!

He has taken the page down completely and has sent an apology email! Thank you everyone for your support and help! I can't express how grateful I am for having such wonderful friends

I know this happens but it still irritates me.

He is ignoring my emails and deleting my comments.

Anyone have any suggestions on how I should go about dealing with this?



And what kills me even more is, he even has the nerve to crop my Vintage III preview image and use it.

Just a note: he's the owner of the website itself, not some random person posting submissions. I've attempted contacting him as the owner personally, and he's not responding.

I have finally finished changing all of the .rar files to .zips (...at least I'm pretty sure). I doubled checked but with my mind all over the place I could have missed one - if that's the case please let me know

Anddd I'm also working on creating a contest ! I'm still thinking about the details and stuff but the winner will receive a 3 month premium membership, an exclusive package of their choice (Austere, Far East, or Slightly Vintage), and will be featured in my journal for a month !

So with this year I'm going to try and do something I've wanted to do for awhile now and that's feature artwork using my textures on a monthly basis! So many of you are creating amazing pieces of work and I wanna share them with everyone else that visits! At the end of each month I will be doing this So please remember to show me your work!

So for now... here are some people I think are awesome!



Some of them I've known for a long time, just met, or haven't even talked to...yet , I don't discriminate! bahaha

Also, thanks everyone for the congratulations! It made my day!

Alright guys, I'm finally gonna get around to changing all of my .rar archives to .zips It's been like 3+ months since I've said I was going to do that... gawd I'm lazy. Anyway I uploaded a little texture package of sheet music to maybe make up for it

Anndddd HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I'm gonna go drown myself in more gaming.

I have no life

Hey guys! I have my internet back! So exclusive texture packages are back up for sale! My scanner is being a turd however I have tonssss of ideas for new textures! So keep an eye out

Man it's like 2am. I'm going to bed.


:thumb149232296: :thumb144906837:

Hey everyone. Sorry for the disappearance over the past month or so. I just moved into a new apartment last month and currently do not have internet so I haven't been able to update much of anything. I should be getting internet within the next month so things should be picking back up around then.

NOTICE ABOUT EXCLUSIVE TEXTURES:
Please do not send any money via paypal for texture packages at this time. I don't have internet at home (i'm currently at a friend's house) and will not be able to upload any texture packages at this time for buyers. This has been an issue a couple times for me and I can't check emails or dA frequently so there's also been a dispute or two about not responding quick enough with refunds. Sorry for the inconvenience and hopefully everything will be resolved quickly when I get my internet

I hope everyone is doing well, and I'll see you again soon!


:thumb149232296: :thumb144906837:

Alright guys in my recent poll, in which I asked "Would you prefer downloading .zip files or .rar?" most of the people prefer .zip files over .rar or either one is fine. Due to this outcome, I will be switching all of my .rar files to .zip files within the next few days to a week (depending how busy I am with life).

Just thought I'd give everyone a heads up

Also... I've been thinking about making a contest, would anyone be interested? Probably just something like using one of my textures in your artwork and whichever I like best could get a subscription or points or a free exclusive pack or something


:thumb149232296: :thumb144906837:

Hey guys! Many of you are asking how to use textures or apply them, there are TONS of different ways to do so, but I found an amazing tutorial that will show you the basics!
