Awesomeness (And Thank yous)_
I don't know why I never posted this before. I was going to do so, but it looks like I never did. This lovely piece of artwork was made by AelinQuan on DeviantArt. One of my large textures is used in the composition. I think it's terrific, and I'm so happy that the artist chose to comment and let me know where it was used.
It's rare that resource makers are thanked for their efforts, and it's even more rare that we get to see how our art resources are put to use by the people who download them. Now, I don't upload and post stuff to be thanked. I don't care. I post because I like to share and I firmly believe in the concept of the internet as platform for free exchange of culture (which includes art, fiction, information, music, etc.) I have learned so much from my friends likearuna7 and others whom I never could have met in person. (There's an ocean between Aruna and I for example.) I have been exposed to wonderful new music, new modes of expression, movies that I adore and never would have heard of if not for the internet. I've also learned and improved great deal as a digital artist over 10 or so years that the name Lionchilde has been my internet nick, largely due to help and resources provided to me freely by other folks on the 'net. (intothisshadow and ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
megalion and all of their wonderful screencaps, to name a few.)
I admit that I do sometimes forget to comment with a link when I use someone's resources, but I try, to let them know and to credit them in my posts, because I know that I always wonder what gets done with all the stuff I put up. There are few things more exciting to me than to see that someone used a resource of mine for their work. So. If I've used something of yours lately and haven't said a proper thanks, know that you are appreciated, and please go check out the amazing artwork.
