This is very sad to admit, but the art comminuty is becoming more and more toxic lately. Artists are almost always under big pressure. We heard many stories when various artists were attacked by trolls and haters, but personally, we were lucky not to meet them that often. But...
We were also attacked by a troll lately. Suddenly one person decided that she can do and say anything and attack all of our accounts. She called us fake(?) and tracers(?). She blames us on tracing in Clip Studio. Stop, what..?
First, we don't have Clip Studio. We draw everything in SAI. To be more precise, we use SAI for 95% maybe, other 5% is Photoshop and sometimes After Effects. You can see a confirmation of using SAI in all our process videos we ever posted. Gosh, we even don't use Photoshop brushes because our computer is too slow to use Photoshop as other artists do D:
Second, we didn't even know that there are anime or 3D models and brushes in Clip Studio that is prohibited to use (she blamed us that we used Clip Studio models and brushes, no idea what she was talking about). Maybe there are some kind of stock images/objects in this program or something? Artists who use Clip Studio, can you explain? Because we really have no idea; we thought that Clip Studio is like a mix of SAI and Photoshop...
Why she attacked us? Just... BECAUSE. She didn't like our last Mulan painting because there is "no asian heritage on her face" as she said (okay, let's also blame Japanese animators because they draw Japanese girls as blondies with blue eyes?). And she didn't like that WE DON'T HAVE A PUBLIC VIDEO PROCESS OF DRAWING. Facepalm :/
Well, we have few process videos, WIPs, steps including sketches (shared with our patrons for long; until our Patreon became a showcase of exclusive artworks and extras, because of lack of time due the health problems in 2020). But we didn't know that if you don't have a public full video process, then you're a tracer. Fantastic logic. There are so many great artists on DA who don't record videos, and this fact doesn't make them tracers!
We were used to make process videos before, but our computer and tablet became old and weak (we use it since 2013), so we have to gave up on recording videos until we buy some new stuff. The other reason is that we are pretty busy people, and we work on few pieces at the same time. Especially the sketching part, when you have to think a lot and improve/clean it before the lineart. It's like when you open a commission, draw for few hours, then close it and draw the next artwork, then another one, and etc. Also it helps you to see the mistakes if you leave the artwork for a while. Also, our schedule is pretty tight and busy always, and we can't spend all day to work only on one piece. And, in the end, it depends on inspiration for each piece.
Why? We wonder just WHY artists should be always under pressure? No one have any rights to appear in artist's life and demand any proof of anything. It's up to the artists to make videos or not. Usually people share videos on Patreon only for money. Then we have no idea why someone thinks that all artists should spend hours to record and render videos (it takes a REALLY long time to render a video after recording, you know, or maybe it's just our old computer can't render it quickly. lol).
Well, THANKS to that troll! We wanted to express our feelings and draw something for healing our minds from bad thoughts. So here we go with a new piece including - OMG - a video process! XD Enjoy~
Real time of drawing: 8 hours.
Rendering video file: 12 hours(!)
That's why we don't make those videos often - we just prefer to spend that time on a new artwork. Easy. But once we buy some new stuff for drawing (computer and tablet), we promise you to make some more videos - in the end, it's fun and useful for other artists who want to study something from us.
Returning to the topic, we blocked that toxic person everywhere after her attacks. The only thing that she posted a negative review on Facebook that we can't remove.
How you can help us in this situation?
First of all, you can rate our Facebook page for 5/5 and write a couple of words in your review. What do you like about our art? Feel free to share there ^^ Click here to do it. Important: you can see a troll's comment there, but PLEASE, don't ever try to contact her, just leave her alone. Don't reply to her, don't send messages, just ignore. Contacting her will provoke a continuation of the conflict, and we really don't want it. Thank you for understading!
If you want to help us more, feel free to share our new video or artworks from our accounts: Tumblr | Facebook | Instagram or just here, on DA.
And finally, let's try to run a #drawitinyourstyle challenge using our new artwork! Feel free to draw your version of our Mermaid Sailor Neptune, we'll be very happy to see how far the challenge goes! Any styles and levels are appreciated! Don't forget to mention us in description of your artwork ^^
Dear artists! Be strong and don't give up if you were attacked by toxic people. Don't try to talk to them, convince and prove anything, YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO IT, they will never admit that they're wrong even if you provide tons of proof.
You don't have to prove anything just because a single troll attacks you. Just block and go on. Don't ever let them hurt your self-esteem!
Not gonna get us, not gonna get us... ~♫
Because of this issue, we are late with raffle results. But we promise to post them this week.
Thank you for reading, guys, We hope you'll never meet such bad people in your life!
Stay safe and take care!
