Over 1,148 notes and counting…What makes me glad to see this number rise is to make a lot of artists aware of what Adobe is doing with the Creative Cloud. It’s not good business for students and professionals, and definitely not good business for their clients in the long run.
Currently, the server is down to sign the petition, but the more people know about this and continued to be aware, the better. Thanks to everyone who took part in letting others know. Lets continue to tell Adobe that this is something we will not stand by.
Everyone on my Tumblr dash, PLEASE watch this. Especially if you are a creative artist:
Adobe is going to scrap their hard copies (disks) for their software (Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, Flash), and have you pay a subscription for the latest software called the Adobe Creative Cloud. $50 per month. Could you really afford such an expense in the long run?
This is really disturbing. Please hear what he has to say, it really is a serious situation for working artists. Pass this along so others may know about the Adobe Creative Cloud and how horrible it is.
Yep… Just went to see how much Flash costs. You know, to just buy the program? Guess what? After spending a while looking, it appears that you CAN’T anymore. You have to pay an outrageous subscription fee. I hate adobe. Is there a petition going around to stop this nonsense? Because I want to sign it.
Thanks! I know a lot of artists and people who like art follow me. You guys should go sign that.
Today I just signed the petition in the voice against the Adobe Creative Cloud. For those who are not familiar with what the new Creative Cloud can do to you as an artist, I really suggest you watch this video.
For those who have seen, reblogged, faved, here’s the link (as shown in the previous reblog) to sign the petition. Anything can happen, Adobe really needs to know that many artists are not supportive of them controlling not just the software..but the content worked on the Cloud.
That’s really shitty but you know what? This is probably the steps they felt they needed to take to try and fight against piracy. While sure, plenty of people will still be able to pirate and use their older versions of products, I am sure it will be much harder for people to get ahold of new things if they put something like this in place.
Is it necessarily the best way to go about it? Not at all. But it is probably the best that they could come up with, even if the monthly fee is very steep.
I think a better solution for artists out there is to find other programs to use. For creating digital art, there are other programs out there than Photoshop and Illustrator! I’ve never used Adobe Flash myself, but I’m sure it has it’s own alternatives, too. Ones that are cheaper, heck, even some of them are for free. Maybe they might not be as good as what you’re used to getting from Adobe, but it sure does beat trying to pay $50 a month just to use their software.
So yeah, I’m all for signing petitions and all, but sometimes they’re not enough. So I think boycotting Adobe products might also help get the message across that paying that much per month to use some software is ridiculous.
The problem is the graphic design/film/animation industries mostly use Adobe software, as well as schools, and clients. Finding new software to use is a solution, but it’s a hard one to use due to the demand to use Adobe software.
Read an article about the possible development for a Wonder Woman television series. As I read, the statement concerning Wonder Woman just wouldn’t leave me alone.
The CW President Mark Pedowitz went on to say that the Wonder Woman franchise is “the trickiest of all the DC characters.”
In some ways, I do agree, as I tend to see that most female superheroes (no no Korra, you’re not a superhero..you’re doing great with your show, but you’re not a superhero, lol), from DC and Marvel have a hard time having the main lead for a television show or a theatrical release. I am still shocked that after all these years with the DC animation renaissance, they have not pursued an animation series for Wonder Woman. Not one. They did do an animated film (and it’s one of the best DC animation films in a LONG TIME). It’s just baffling to me.
I mean, when will we see a Wonder Woman live action film? Or a BETTER Catwoman movie? What about Supergirl? Or Batgirl? Storm? I mean, Wolverine is not all that interesting as an X-Men figure anyways…In fact, do women want to see female superheroes being the frontrunners in films?

I’d rather tumblr stay a free agent than be bought by yahoo and especially not facebook. FB is already doing a shit job at copying tumblr, they don’t need to own it, too.
Agreed.
It just boils down to what tumblr wants to do. Can their business keep it up and gain more business in the long run without having to be bought? That’s what it all boils down to, if they feel like they’re losing money and can’t get a way back, they’ll look to get bought…like Instagram.
Looking great so far! How did you get the lines to be so smooth? 0v0
Thanks Spen! :)
I did the line art in Illustrator (vector lines, and I have more control there than Photoshop). Saved as a pdf, and coloring it in Photoshop. Long, but it gets the job done. ^^
Did a inking walk through (so long - over 30 minutes lol), but how I work in Illustrator…not my greatest inking work, but it was helpful for that time.
Sup! This is MrContro (or Mistah C)! Welcome to my sketch tumblr, where I sketch and maybe rant on some things (animation, life, or movies). Hope the work inspires you, or at least entertain ya for the day.
