EVERYONE PLEASE LISTEN. DO NOT IGNORE THIS.
Article 13 is going into it’s final stages of voting.
If this gets through, it will allow many, many companies to abuse and misuse this article to take down as many memes, fan works, and even other independent creators on sites like YouTube, Facebook, and other websites INCLUDING Tumblr.
THE FAIR USE LAW AND SAFEHARBOR LAW WILL NO LONGER APPLY IN THE U.S OR IN OTHER COUNTRIES.
IT HAS ALREADY PASSED IN SEVERAL OTHER COUNTRIES.
WE CANNOT ALLOW THEM TO TAKE AWAY WHAT WE BUILT FOR THE INTERNET SO FAR.
So here is what you need to do to drag this article down.
1. Spread the word
I can’t stress this enough. The more attention this gets the more people we can get to take this down.
2. Make your own content
Make your own content on the matter and make sure it is clear to others that Article 13 is bad for every internet user involved.
3. If you live anywhere in Europe, contact your MEPs
Ask them if they approve of the article and why. If they do approve of it, try to convince them in a clear, reasonable, and most sensible way possible that this law is BAD.
The article itself is way to vague about what it’s conveying to its people.
Saying that as long as the use of said internet memes or content is good as long as it’s in “good faith.”
We cannot let some shoddy government tell us what we can and cannot post.
FREE SPEECH IS A HUMAN RIGHT. NOT A PRIVILEGE.
Here’s a video on Article 13 that Film Theory made on the matter. It will explain things better than I can.

It took me a month to find the time to finally color this son of a gun. I experimented a bit though I went a little shy with the neon highlights. Still, I’m really happy how this turned out. :3
Oh! And I recorded the whole making of process (except the sketch cause bleh) and made a speedpaint video! That will be up soon when I edit it (and if my internet cooperates). ^^; I’ll be sure to post it here.
Sketch and linework I did for this weekend side by side. :> This time my OC Artem has the spotlight! 🖤✨
Also, I’ve been recording the progress for a future speedpaint/timelapse video and it’s been a cool experience~
Sidalja curled, floating in a dark void. His fire, his destructive magic, was now the only source of light and warmth. He stared at the soft flame and his mind went blank for a brief moment until he remembered why he was there, in his safe place. Reality is made of pain…
I always had an unsatisfied need to draw Alzheil’s glorious hind side
(as described in my stories), but always felt I would not be able to do
it justice with my current skill set until I dared myself to finally do
it. And now that I think of it, I never showed all his
implants/modifications before this. That’s solved now! ;P
I’ve been wanting to work on arts I have pending, but I’ve been busier than I expected with college things ‘cause finals are near. 😓
Aaaanyways, here’s a rather organized sketch of sad Sid I did a while ago. 💔
What started out as a notebook doodle is turning up to no good~ 🗡️
Also… I’m back!! ^-^
From the wreckage...
Hey! It’s been a while since I update here, sorry. :x There’s the story of what’s going on: http://fav.me/dbuf2bp
