well sorta.. Ive been spending more time over at =Bubblicious-1 and seemed to have gotten lots of work out of it. So Its not that Im taking a BREAK break from my kitty creations, just a temporary thing until I get a hold on the work that is coming in.. Im amazed that having that account around a month now Ive already pushing 15k views, so you can imagine the amount of messages, notes and all that is being generated. Im not complaining at all! Im just surprised by the whole thing. so again, Once I get a grip on whats going on there, Ill be making luscious kitty girls for you all to drool over! Im sorry I havent gotten to your comments and messages, forgive me! I thank you all soo much and appreciate all the love and support you all have given me through the temp ban and through the years!

All my love


Krissi >^.^<

**EDIT** some douchebag actually reported the image from here to tiny pic, oh well, fapomatic to the rescue!! links should be working again, enjoy


this is what "Given the run around" looks like..please, feel free to laugh hysterically ^^ :

my first comment to help desk regarding
Bunny Girl [link]

"this is the second time my deviation has been removed, even though this deviation has been reported and allowed to stay up [link]

and the reason given by staff that it wasnt in violation for the reasons following:

"First Report: Fri Apr 25 2008 21:55
Case Closed: Sat Apr 26 2008 05:58
Status: Invalid
Comment: A member of staff found the submission to be a transformative work and no need for action upon review of this deviation.its allowable, because the source material have been so severely manipulated that they are unrecognizable in the final work...

why is his deviation allowed and mine isnt? and i was banned for resubmitting? this is ridiculous."

this was the FIRST response:

"According to the logs your work made use of copyrighted material which prompted action by the staff. Your deviantART submissions must consist entirely of your own work or valid stock resources and must not include works from copyrighted sources. Due to your failure to provide proof of permission for use of non-stock nude photography and resubmission, a suspension has been placed on your account.

Please read our Copyright Policy"

So my response was:

"what of this then?
[link]

the reason staff gave for not removing the "jessica rabbit" ([link])when he used a copyrighted picture of angelina jolie was because she was so manipulated that she couldn't be recognized. this was the argument of my picture as well.. her entire face was painted over and manipulated. as was her body edited as well."

heres where the run around starts.. now the issue instead of copyright is model release... have a look:

"The situation regarding your image was explained to you previously.

FAQ #252: Model release forms? Do I need it? What is it?
"

*rolls eyes* and here is my response:

"no it hasnt, youve done it the same as other staff.. first you tell me its because of copyright issues "According to the logs your work made use of copyrighted material which prompted action by the staff. Your deviantART submissions must consist entirely of your own work or valid stock resources and must not include works from copyrighted sources. Due to your failure to provide proof of permission for use of non-stock nude photography and resubmission, a suspension has been placed on your account."

now in this breath you tell me i need a model release, even though I have no idea what an underage BUNNY would look like.. her face is completely PAINTED OVER and manipulated. as is portions of her body. so where does she look underage and how do you decide what looks underage?

to quote mirrorkills journal:

"First Report: Fri Apr 25 2008 21:55
Case Closed: Sat Apr 26 2008 05:58
Status: Invalid
Comment: A member of staff found the submission to be a transformative work and no need for action upon review of this deviation.

Come again? It uses copyrighted material.. no ifs and or buts about it...

so i shoot a note off to the powers that be with a link to [link]
Only to be told; its allowable, because the source material have been so severely manipulated that they are unrecognizable in the final work..."

whats good for one should be good for all. I feel Im being singled out. If my deviation must be removed, so should [link]

if his is allowed to stay, so should mine. it isnt fair that favoritism is being shown here. stick to one rule and make it a rule for ALL not just for me. thank you."

I cant WAIT to see what reason they come up with next ^^

ps. if anyone wants to decide their opinion, the image can be seen here

Bunny Girl [link]

Looks like theyve lifted the ban on me.. Honestly no matter where I turn, I get hassled ^^

If anyones Interested, Ive been hanging out over here ~

<!-- Begin Official PayPal Seal --><!-- End Official PayPal Seal -->

I appreciate all the people that voted, thank you so much! All the entries were pretty cool.

I have to make an executive decision tho.. if I were to go by the poll alone, *Kay-Z would be the winner. Even tho its a great effort on a short notice, it isnt really what I was looking for. I wanted something that really jumped out with scroll boxes and all that, and this one just didnt have much of anything that I asked for. It had alot of images that I liked, but that was about it.

So, The entry that had the most votes that has just about everything I asked for is from =Starke-Haz

so the order goes like this...

first place,year sub and personalized TF picture,journal feature goes to..
with this entry -->[link]

Second Place, three month sub , journal feature goes to..
with this entry -->[link]

Third Place, one month sub, journal feature goes to..
with this entry -->[link]

and I am still going to feature in my journal for making such an amazing piece and making pretty much exactly what I asked for!

Thanks everyone who participated in making journal and voting. I have to say Im a bit surprised at the outcome, but one never knows with things like these!

I am very greatful for people putting forth the effort for me, it means alot!
