I had these sitting in my resource folder for a while because I never got around to uploading them. I wanted to edit them originally, but meh. Too lazy LOL! Enjoy =]
I just wanted to add that this new pay-per-click ad program that I joined actually gives out a pretty good payout if you know how to advertise yourself well. Here is my referral link if you’re interested in joining. I highly highly recommend it to be honest. Give it a shot! You have nothing to lose.
‘Tis true ’tis true. The past few days have been super busy for me (as you can notice the lack of daily updates on my part). I’m not going to bore you with all the details just yet. If you would like to read EVERYTHING just press the “Continue Reading” link at the bottom of this entry.
Right now it’s almost 3AM and I am opting to cut class later on. I know I shouldn’t but I kind of don’t feel like going considering I lost the assignment sheet we were supposed to do. No idea where it went, LOL! So I would most likely be kicked out for that anyway. But also because my dad is forcing me to go to North Carolina for the weekend. We leave today in the afternoon. I seriously do NOT want to go. I have too much course work to catch up on, but he won’t take any excuses. =[ This “trip” is total BS. Don’t be surprised if I decide to jump off a cliff or something. But yeah… I won’t be back until Sunday evening around 10PM. That’s most likely going to drag out until like 1AM… and I’ll have to drag my ass to a 9AM class. Lovely.
- Were you ever forced to go somewhere you didn’t want to?
- Where did you go, what did you do?
- Was it better than you had expected it to be?
- Suggest some music for me to put on my ipod. I need to update it because I lost all my music when my previous computer crashed.
As for site updates, I updated my portfolio, resource pages, and the domain page. Please click “Continue Reading” to see all my updates under the cut. PS: I don’t think I’ll be able to get all my comment replies in today, or my daily link exchange rounds… so that will have to wait until Monday.
PPS: Would anyone be interested in buy cute Wordpress layouts/templates for like $10-$20? I’ll make them and then when you buy them I customize the titles with your site name. Good idea? Bad idea? I want your opinions!
I know some older versions of FF and IE display the coding wrong on this site. For example, the content moves to the bottom of the sidebar which is a no-no. So I’m starting to work on a new design. Also, I delete those ads because they weren’t very profitable considering the number of impressions I generate on the site. I’ll be looking for a better ads company soon. I’m sure a bunch of your were getting annoyed by the pop ups and such!
Anyway, the main reason for this entry to to reply to this comment I received on my tagboard from Kipper.
“What exactly is the point of having a website, when all of your content is on a forum. It takes the fun out of it.. because to use something I have to go sign up for something I don’t want to. just saying.”
I totally understand that you’re not used to something different than the usual livejournal status quo. You come across a texture community or journal, you click the link to download it, and VOILA you have yourself a set of textures that were most likely cropped from some free stock site, deviant art, or one of those ffffound.com sites. But then you come across my resources and you’re like WTF when they’re not handed over to you in a perfectly-wrapped ZIP file with a shiny bow on top at the snap of a finger.
The purpose of FAUXISM.org is for my blog, to showcase my portfolio, and to offer resources and tutorials for graphic makers. All of my content is NOT on the forum. The majority of my content is here. The only content hosted on the forum is my premium HQ/HR resources. And the only reason I even link the resources here is to provide visitors with quick previews of the resources I offer on the forum. You see what you like, you click it, and you go directly there to download instead of clicking through 3904834 threads until you find what you like.
Signing up on LIGHTS is no different than signing up on sxc.hu, or joining LJ and then joining the specific community to view the posts, or even friending someone to view their work. Yet no one seems to be opposed to that. So why is registering on LIGHTS any different? It’s a one-time requirement that literally take 30 seconds, and you have access to all the resources on the forum.
You obviously liked my resource previews enough to come here. But complaining about something that you have no right to is just silly. No one has to make you a damn thing and then you go and complain. I don’t have to share my resources with anyone, but I do. I’m not obligated to offer them in a specific way. And I have no obligation to you or anyone else when it comes to my resources.
Don’t worry, I’m not directing this at you. But more so at all the people who have complained in the past.
No one is forcing you to join the forum. If you don’t want to then that’s perfectly fine with me. But don’t waste your time complaining about it because it takes even more time to do that than actually registering and downloading all the sets you want LOL.
All I can say is that you’d be missing out on some great high quality high resolution textures, brushes, and other resources.
