I just came by your profile and saw your art, and was very impressed. I think you have a very nice art style. Now I'm working on this project. It's called <project>. It's an awesome story about <subject>. I'm currently writing the script for it, but I'm planning to make a visual novel. I can't tell too much about the story, since I don't want it to be copied, but it's going to be really cool. The point is; I need illustrators. I'm an excellent writer, but I can't do illustration at all. And therefore, I wanted to ask for your help. I need about 60 pages illustrated and colored. Would you work together with me on this one? I don't have any money to spend, as I'm not an established writer yet. But when the visual novel gets published, you can get a percentage of my profit.
With kind regards,
Person X
Well... let me translate this for you.
This Person X is a writer. An excellent one, if you have to believe his statement. He came to my profile, and was very impressed with my art. But as there are at least 20 other names in the CC, I probably wasn't the only one artist that he was impressed by. And since the message lacks a personal reference, it's highly assumed that he send that same message to about a hundred of other artists... in the hope that somebody --anybody-- picks up his illustration request.
He says he is an excellent writer, yet his gallery doesn't show a single piece of writing. I basically have no idea what this project is about, and he ain't gonna tell me either. He's so damn afraid that someone copies his oh-so-awesome plot line, that he even refused to give a small summary. But seeing a gallery full of below-average-level illustrated fanart, and his age being about 15 years old, I assume this 'excellent writing' is either the next piece of anime fanfic, or just another generic anime-based story with characters whose look is probably the only awesome thing about them. Don't get me wrong. Nothing wrong with anime. I watch it a lot. But good luck if you think you're gonna sell a manga-styled visual novel with a plot that looks like it's ripped from just a generic anime. It's not gonna happen.
He wants 60 pages illustrated and colored. That's quite a lot, if you ask me. And I might be a slow illustrator (really, I am), but drawing and coloring a single page is gonna cost me at least a few hours. And I'm sure I'm not the only one. There's a reason why most Japanese manga's are in black and white. Not only to save on printing costs, but also to increase production speed. Because.... coloring takes time! A whole damn lot of time!
Last but not least. The costs. Of course Person X has no money. No wonder. He's a 15 years old kid that probably never had a job and haven't got anything published either. Yes, this an assumption. But seeing he hasn't taken into account how much money printing and shipping costs (it really is expensive), and the fact that he hasn't listed a single plan how to actually promote and market this thing, makes me think that he gave only little thought to that subject. Hence, I think he's inexperienced.
Well... let's be honest.
These things can be fun and flattering once in a while. But getting them on a weekly basis is annoying the shit out of me.
Why? Because I think it's damn arrogant to go around artists, beg them if they can do hours of hard work for free, just to see your project illustrated. And then get angry if an artists turns their offer down. I've seen so much of this already, that it makes me sick.
First of all, I'm not a professional illustrator. I might have decent artwork quality, but I'm not a professional in the sense that I illustrate for money. I have health issues. I have a full-time job that is demanding enough already. Luckily I earn good money by doing that job, so I don't need the extra money from art commissions. I have the freedom to spend my free time however I want, by illustrating whatever the heck I want, and I'd like to keep it that way. One look at my profile front page would've learned you so. Reading my FAQ (the link is also posted at my homepage) would learn you the reason why. So why would anyone even bother sending me that kind of message? Are they that arrogant to think that their request could change my mind on the entire subject?
But let's say that I took commissions. That I did do art for money. They send me a request for illustrating and coloring 60 pages. Let's say you work real fast (I don't, but let's say you do) and you finish one page in about 4 hours. That takes 60 x 4 = 240 hours. On a full-time job, I work 40 hours a week. That means 6 weeks I could've been working. I could've earned 1.5 monthly salary at an average job during that time. And this isn't even a realistic expectation. If there is one thing that I learned from freelancing, is that you will never complete a project in the minimum time. Mostly because of the customer. They haven't got their source material together, they want changes, they want meetings... and whatever. In the early years, a freelance colleague once learned me that in order to guess a good time estimate, you need to take the minimum time required to get the job done, and multiply that by 1.5. And from years of experience in the web industry, I can say that way of estimating is quite correct. So yeah... that makes 9 weeks of my life I could've spend earning money on a regular job.
To do the math; 9 weeks = 360 hours. Apply that to the hourly minimum wage of $10.99 in the Netherlands (where I live) and this whole project would be worth $3956. And that's only minimum wage. Yeah... we're talking about real money here.
And that's exactly the point I want to make. Because Person X has no money. He expects me to do $3956 worth of work to do for free. And maybe, if he's selling enough... I would get some of his money. MAYBE!
Well... let's do some more math here. Let's say the average full color manga is about $10. That means he has to sell 396 of those books to pay my costs. Not his, not the printing costs, not the shipping costs. No, he needs to sell 396 copies alone for me to get even.
Anyone with realistic expectations knows that that is never gonna happen. Not by a 15 year old kid, a book that has a generic anime plot line, and without a decent marketing plan. It's doomed to fail. Even if I illustrate his entire book, he might sell a few copy's to friends and family. But he ain't gonna sell anywhere over 50 copies. And yeah... I've talked to enough artists at anime conventions to know the average selling rate for original art. Unless you already have a massive fanbase and a solid marketing plan, you will be having a hard time to get even with the printing costs alone.
All in all, this is a selfish request from a kid that wants to see his concept illustrated.
The sad truth is... it's not only kids I get those kind of requests from. I can forgive a kid for not knowing how the world works. But many of those requests where from people that were over 20 years old. People that I suppose have jobs and have an idea of how hard is it to pay their bills. People that willingly send out these requests to lure hard working artists into this kind of traps. They might be delusional about their ideas being a success, but most of them just want to see their concept illustrated, and can't be bothered about other people spending a whole damn lot of time on it.
Even many people from the game industry nowadays go to DeviantArt in order to e-mail artists to work for them on shady contracts. I'm talking about well paid recruiters from game company's that contact art students. Those students work for free, just to hope making something that's good for their portfolio's. In the hope they will ever get a small percentage of money from a game that will never sell, or even never see the light of day. And that's the sad truth.
To be honest; getting this kind of selfish requests on a weekly basis, makes me sick.
I have a project that I work on myself. I am a writer myself. And when I wanted my art illustrated, I learned myself how to draw in order to make illustrations for my concept. Sure. I perfectly understand not everybody is capable of doing that. But if you want people to help you out, then pay them. And if you don't have the money, then set up a solid marketing plan and get your money via crowd funding. Dragging others into your selfish issues, should never be an option!
So from now on, I will send all people that send me those kind of requests, to this article.
That will perfectly explain them why I refuse this kind of requests, and what kind of selfish leeches they actually are.

I'm just doing a bit of research to figure out a future business plan for myself, when I eventually start selling some of the large software packages I've been writing.
So, when you're out buying into software, do you prefer software to be hosted externally, in the cloud, or do you prefer to install it on your local servers?
Any responses much appreciated!
EDIT: If you choose Other, please explain why. It doesn't make much sense without an explanation. :)

.- The Archbishop of Lima, Cardinal Juan Luis Cipriani, celebrated the traditional Peruvian October devotion of Our Lord of the Miracles in New York, presiding at a Mass in St. Patrick's Cathedral and a procession through the streets of the Big Apple.
Some five thousand people crowded the streets around St. Patrick's to process with a replica of the famous image of Christ. A very emotional Cardinal Cipriani told reporters, "This has been an opportunity to build up the hope and optimism that sometimes is lacking in Peru but which abounds in our fellow countrymen here in New York."
"There is no explication, no marketing analysis, as to why millions upon millions follow after this image, with so much faith," Cardinal Cipriani said.
He also thanked God, "because it is like a ray of hope and faith which our people bring to these developed countries, where people see with their own eyes how thousands take to the streets in prayer and carry the image about, singing their Peruvian songs."

there are lot of threads and methods spread out online... google.. very good tips and methods..
but above all, a strong reason is needed to stop it..
problem is, the effect of smoking does not show up immediately...
i guess it's hard to stop until
1. one's gonna get cancer tomorrow
2. one's gf or bf has decided to dump you because of smoking
3. become a dad or mom and you cant smoke anymore
3. rare case, but, a God fearing person who feels guilty
Sudhas! Thanks for ur feed back!

i am a chain smoker and trust me its hard to give up. being a psychiatrist i my self try to control my mind but its difficult.
there is a cold turkey way (u stop smoking completely) or u reduce the cigarettes from 10 to 9 to 8 n virtually stop. but with that u need meds and motivation. try quit smoke strips (these strips are in your mouth and help stop the craving ) anti smoke gums (NICOTEX is the best) and you get a quit smoking filter (works if you are using the reducing method) . all the best

Top Local Tips for Niamey
Niamey Fantastic place, very remote, little English spoken. Markets excellent, museum good, easy to get around, safety good. Many fascinating villages are within a few hours drive of the city, so you can see a lot of this part of Niger while remaining in Niamey. Niger is not a carbon copy of Mali, but Mali felt more rich culturally --- I think this is because Niger has been primarily nomadic and fewer traces are left in towns. But, the people are great, many tribes and languages, and the dress of the people is diverse and fantastic. I did not go to Agadez, because it was off limits due to political problems.

Review - A Snug Harbour Inn
A Snug Harbour Inn - Contact the owner
Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

a bit...shall I say tentative?
Well Monday I take a (new) to me 1979 catalina 22 home. This is my first sailboat. It was the only sailboat within 400 miles where I live so I did not have a lot to choose from. I sorta freaked the the guy out when I paid in silver bullion. All in all I think I got a okay deal. Three sails, boat, 9.9 honda and trailer with new galvy axels and bearings for 4k. The boat does not smell moldy and except for one tender spot near the deck forward cabin interface everything was solid. The iron keel was a bit pocked marked but the swing keel will make it a lot easier to haul to the lakes and on a loooong weekend to Valdez. I hope this boat is easy to learn and to sail. I am looking forward to starting this relationship off right. The old owner is going with me to take it out for a shake down cruise. I am a bit nervous!!!!!! This is a lot of responsibility!

Good afternoon. The countdown to the new season continues apace today as Cardiff City travel to Bath City.
And you won't miss a kick here from our team at Twerton Park who'll be bringing you minute-by-minute updates as well as interviews with players and the manager after the final whistle.
Adam Le Fondre has been on Twitter on his way to Bath. He posted the picture below.
Looks like Fabio's in the zone already...
Looking forward to the game today. Not every day you to play against Cardiff!! Be a good test for us!! #romans— Andy Watkins (@watto85) July 12, 2014
Got 10 minutes spare before the Bath match? Test yourself with our ultimate Cardiff City quiz
Welcome to @BathCity_FC and Twerton Park. Who's coming to #supporttheboys in our second match of pre-season? pic.twitter.com/QiFlvdoVC1— Cardiff City FC (@CardiffCityFC) July 12, 2014
Our man Gareth Rogers is in position at Twerton park. Here's the scene he is surveying with 45 mins left til kick-off...
The Cardiff City training staff have the cones out ready to give the boys a thorough warm-up. Not that they'll need it on a day like this. Bath is bathed in sunshine.
There are a handful of Bluebirds in the Bristol Road End but most seemed to be lining the beer gardens of the Twerton pubs as we drove in.
July 12, 2014
Our man Gareth now up-close with the players during their warm-ups. Mats Moller Daehli particularly close to the camera!

.@CardiffCityFC first-half XI: Moore, Gunnarsson, Fabio, Kiss, Connolly, Turner, Whittingham, Macheda, Daehli, Guerra, Eikrem.— Cardiff City FC (@CardiffCityFC) July 12, 2014
The first half team versus Bath complete with Javi Guerra making his debut...
.@CardiffCityFC second-half XI: Lewis; Brayford, John, Hudson, KTC; Ralls, Mutch, Burgstaller, Le Fondre, Mason, Berget.— Cardiff City FC (@CardiffCityFC) July 12, 2014
The Bluebirds are back in after their warm up now. It's hot out there. I've been sweating watching them go through their paces.
The Bath fans behind the goal took great delight every time the Bluebirds stars missed a shot at goal.
They quietened down though when one or two balls flew onto the tiny terrace.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was planning to watch the match from the main grandstand but he got mobbed before the end of the warm up and has decided to move downstairs now.
The teams are out at Twerton Park
Cardiff, in all red today , have a strong looking starting XI. Macheda is the one who seems to be most exciting the locals here.
Bath, in Newcastle style black and white stripes kick us off
Cardiff straight on the ascendancy. This has a much better atmosphere than Monday night.
Once again, Daehli is all action. Everything Cardiff do well goes through him.
Macheda goes into the box but fires wide. Then Guerra hammers over. Need more target practice!
Eikrem hits at the keeper. I know its Bath but it's all out attack.
Javi Guerra goes down the left but can't find Macheda. Then Fabio pulls off an unbelievable piece of skill before firing wide on his right foot.
Cardiff keep attacking except for a brief break when the ball was kicked over the stand. It's back now and we play on.
15 minutes gone and still no goals here. Cardiff do a bit of defending as Bath get a free kick but Bath clear.
Whittingham puts Macheda in. The ex United man goes down in the box. The ref waves his claims away.
It was right in front of me and looked a certain penalty.
Fabio is playing like a winger. I've never been his biggest fan but his first touch is first class.
Javi Guerra on his @CardiffCityFC debut pic.twitter.com/IJ7taHsumF— Gareth Rogers (@GR_WelshSport) July 12, 2014
The Cardiff fans are in fine voice now
I think some of them have been enjoying the West Country hospitality.
Bath win a corner, Cardiff counter sees Macheda hitting the bar two passes later.
It's as if Ole wants his team to be attacked. They will be dangerous on the counter.
Great move Cardiff.
Gunnarsson down the right, excellent cross but Guerra can't get on the end.
Cardiff City on the attack at Bath pic.twitter.com/80698snQPO— Gareth Rogers (@GR_WelshSport) July 12, 2014
The opening 25 minutes are still to yield a goal for either side but Bath win an attacking free kick which Turner has to head clear.
Macheda felled on half way thankfully he gets up.
July 12, 2014
Eikrem gets into a shooting position again but can't trouble the keeper
In half an hour Cardiff have looked neat and tidy but seem to be lacking an end product. Macheda caught offside.
Macheda chases another aimless ball down but that's not really good enough
Then he loses the ball after good work from Guerra.
I just noticed there are about ,10 locals watching the game for free on the banking above me. They must be committed! They couldn't see Simon Moore get forced into his first save though as their view was obscured.
Neat work from Guerra and Daehli on the edge but, again, a toothless end product.
Meanwhile Cardiff fans have turned their attention to the fact they occupy three sides of the ground. A chant of Bob Bank do the ayatollah was followed up by the same request for the Grandstand. That takes me back.
When I see Javi Guerra chasing countless lost causes I see how he's scored so many goals in his career. If he keeps the work rate up the Cardiff fans will love him.
Meanwhile the Cardiff City second half side are just having a jog on the sidelines ahead of their introduction.
Bath fire in two shots to keep the locals interested but Moore deals with both.
Bath win a corner down the right and are finishing the half the stronger to be honest.
July 12, 2014
Cardiff should have scored. Daehli got Macheda into the box but the Italian couldn't finish
HT: Bath City 0-0 Cardiff City
Football writer Terry Phillips is also at Twerton Park. Here are his first-half thoughts:
This is a difficult one to judge. Fabio is showing some great touches but he's being allowed to run up and down the touchline unchallenged.
Guerra looks a good player. He's done loads of running but he missed one great chance.
In terms of a run-out Ole will be happy.
So an intriguing half there in which the Bluebirds failed to make the breakthrough despite a strong start and some action involving Kiko Macheda.
The second half will see a completely different team take the field.
That will be: Lewis; Brayford, John, Hudson, KTC; Ralls, Mutch, Burgstaller, Le Fondre, Mason, Berget.
We are underway in the second half.
Declan John fires in a cross which causes some disruption but the hosts clear their lines.
Kevin Theophile is lining up at left back. Monday he was at centre back. Is this Ole trying to tell him something about his favoured position of right back?
This game has lost a bit of its bite in the early stages of the second half. Bath trying to slow the game down in the heat.
Cardiff head to Austria at the end of the week and I can't imagine it being much cooler there.
Joe Ralls and Burgstaller get their wires crossed on half way and embarrassingly Ross Stearn went clear. But his shot was well over and spared the Bluebirds' blushes.
Javi Guerra was in action for the Bluebirds for the first time today. Here is a picture of him battling for the ball at Twerton Park...
Simon Moore is still actually in goal for Cardiff City though Cardiff City had indicated on Twitter Joe Lewis would be taking his place in the second half.
He was called into action there as Bath launched another counter attack.
GOAL Cardiff.
Jo Inge Berget fires one straight in from 25 yards.
Right foot along the floor and Bath keeper Jason Mellor had no chance.
Brayford shoots. Mason caught offside.
The Bath bench are less than happy with a few Cardiff tackles.
Bath win another corner in front of their fans but Moore gathers before another slightly embarrassing mix up is cleared by Ralls.
Still 1-0 Cardiff. Ahead of kick-off, Gareth grabbed a couple of fans to get their views on the new season.
Here is his interview with Paul Rogers who had travelled to Bath to watch the Bluebirds...
15 minutes to go and this one is being played at walking pace right now.
GOAL Bath
Ex-Cardiff youth player Zak Evans scores for Bath.
He fired it in off the cross bar. Bath are good value for this.
In the meantime Theophile has hobbled off for Cardiff. Ralls has lined up in central defence and Ole,'s men struggle on with 10.
Attendance 1.032. A nice touch as the home fans applaud the visitors from across the Severn Bridge.
Great support from travelling Cardiff fans this afternoon as shown by this picture...
Bath have a corner and they're going for the win!
Simon Moore stays strong and boots it towards Le Fondre before Sekani Simpson takes the ball for Bath and mazes his way to the edge of the Bluebirds box.
With all the fans screaming "Shooooot" his passed up his chance for a Hollywood goal and played the ball wide for a botched cross.
Bath have a striker called Chas Hemmings. To say he's a big lad is an understatement. Suffice to say, if Warren Gatland sees him, he'll be trying to claim his Welshness, no doubt!
As we enter the closing minutes it looks like only Bath waill win this.
Burgstaller goes on a run though and crosses in before Le Fondre gets clattered by the Bath keeper.
The striker gets up though and it's a throw to the Bluebirds.
Great save Moore.
Jordan Ricketts broke for Bath and had the goal at his mercy but the Cardiff keeper stood up well and narrowed the angle. That was their chance!
FULL TIME: Bath City 1-1 Cardiff City
A draw then against a tough Bath side by the sounds of it. Keep it here - we'll have all the reaction and fallout over the next couple of hours...

Workmen are hard at it to create new JCB office
Posted: July 06, 2014|
WORK to expand JCB to create more space for the workers is now officially under way.
Builders can be seen hard at work at the Rocester-based World Headquarters as construction gets under way to create additional office space for the workers.
The workmen have been at the site for around a month now and the digger giant has said it is hoped that the work will be completed by autumn.
The principal contractor for the work is Vinci Construction UK and the project involves the erection of around 80 tonnes of steel.
A spokesman for JCB said the new offices will provide 800 square metres of additional space.
Currently there is up to 40 people on site each day working on the scheme.
