I for one am thankful for anybody who takes the time to draw all these CW's and make them available by claiming a slot if your fast enough. However no one has to do that. If, I had the programs and could do it I sure would draw some items that are exclusive to me and friends. There is one group that I know of that does exclusives just for their group. Sure there are many more.

I don't think just because your a Subeta artist you have to share. If it's meant to be for the site then good but when you pay your own money people have no business in it, very simple.

The backdrop is absolutely gorgeous :) If you do ever make a redraw of it I hope to get one.

I saw the confessions, but honestly, I just don't think that you're at fault. Why should you be denied a right that everyone else has, just because you work on the site?

I've saw the "Confessions" and your responses. And let me just say, I really admire the way you handle yourself. Especially when you're basically being attacked by someone hiding behind anonymity.

I, personally, don't think you've been selfish in any way. You made items that you wanted. Every other person on the site has the same ability. They may have to commission the art since most of us aren't artists, but they can still get what they want. I don't understand why they expect you to be any different. You're a user as well as a part of the staff. It doesn't have to be one or the other.

The only thing I agreed with in those posts was the whole hat/hair issue. Before reading your reply, I didn't think it was fair or on the up and up or whatever. After reading your reply, I see that I was wrong. I still don't get it but I'm not an artist in anyway. My stick figures tend to look like demented lightning bolts. And really, you should NOT have to explain yourself anyway.

I honestly think that the only reason people are so upset about it isn't because of who you are, it's because they want what they can't have. And they'll leach on to any excuse to complain about it. Damnit, I'm jealous of everyone with the lovely Chic Hair but I'm not going to cry myself to sleep over it! The whole point of the CW system was to make items for yourself. And I think in the chaos of greed and jealousy, people have forgotten that.

What, we're not allowed to make personal or even OC-based CWs for ourselves now? /sarcasm

Ugh, I'm sorry that's happened to you, bean :(

Your items are beautiful, and I can see why people feel the need to whine, but they need to get over it. You've made and paid for them yourself. You aren't entitled to share it with anyone or release extra batches if you don't want to.

Guys, the reason the hat/hair is one item is because it's intertwined. The hair is over one ear flap and under the other, and it would never look right separated. Same reasoning as the . Cause the horns are tucked into the hair, and would never look right as two separate items.

Anyway, I want to commend you, , for standing up and confronting the spineless people who've been complaining. Even though you shouldn't need to. The art is beautiful, and I'd kill for that background, but that's no reason to go badmouthing you or anyone else.

I'll admit, I had my doubts about the validity of the wig. Now that you've explained it, though, you're totally right. You couldn't get the hair and the hat to look the same if they were separate. 's'cool.

I have zero problem with any other aspect of this. I really did just think that the wig was playing favourites, but that was me not having any of the facts.

So we may get an item similar to Ship in a Bottle in the sometime future or did that pertain only to the jackets? Also, was it inspired by Treasure Planet because that was what I first thought of when I saw it and I about died. So thank you for almost killing me XD

I didn't even know there was a hubbub about your items |: Shows how much I pay attention to drama lmao

Either way, people need to shut up and use a little bit of that thing called maturity. The fact that some people are giving you a hard time about these personal items is obviously out of jealously and that oh so special entitlement issue subeta users seem to have a crazy case of lately. If it's not pet names, it's fucking Custom Wearables.

Grow the fuck up guys. Staff have the right to create their own beautiful wearables, just like any other non-staff artist on site

I had been kind of annoyed about the wig, but the explantion is very fair! It wouldn't work as two items :).

Your custom items are so lovely!!

I really felt bad for you when all of this first started blowing up. :c I don't see why you shouldn't deserve to have your own private cws just because you're a staff artist. Anyone who gave you crap for it should be ashamed. <3

I guess it's because the art quality and the theme of the items appeal to them but they are not able to have it. I think you should just ignore them. :) CWs are meant to be exclusive and be used whichever way the user who made it chose to use it. lol on another note...didn't realize there is a subeta confession XD

I'm really new to all of this, but why on earth can't you have something that's just yours? Why in the world would it be wrong for you to control your own artwork? The entitlement inherent in such an idea (that is, that someone deserves these CWs just because) is baffling.

Someone's a dingbat, but it's not you, Bean.

I'm giving you guys a hard time at the moment, but i don't understand this behaviour at all. Really, i mean, you are an official artist because you know how to keep the standard. Thats the stuff we want to have on subeta, so .. what? Even if it would have been accepted in an instant.. Not surprising, isn't it? Its not like there is nobody else out there who got this done on first try as well. (me included, even if i'm getting on your guys nerves xD)

I don't see why staff shouldn't be supposed to use the same feature like all other users too. I think its pretty unfair if people flame just cause of jealousy. Its not like you are a drawing and clicking machine only. Staff is not here solely for the purpose of serving us, they were users from begin with just like we are. >.<

I think this sums it up

Pretty sad that you have to defend yourself like this and i'm glad to see that more people think like me. Some people are not only outride rude and jealous, also too coward to stand up for their opinion now. Shows pretty much there is nothing behind their "arguments" beside of jealousy and envy! Don't let you get this down - you didn't do anything wrong and you should be able to do the same like the rest of the us without having to fear about rage from all sides!

I'm so envious of that background, but I certainly don't begrudge you, or anyone else, owning them. You've got them in the same way as anyone else. If I had the moneys there are at least two items I'd get for myself and I'd probably be evil and keep the spares (until I gave into guilt and gave them to anyone who happened to like the item XD) Personally I love the items and even if I can't own them I love to see them on the site. Sorry you've had to defend yourself this way, it shouldn't be necessary.

Also... do I smell the possibility of a general version of the background? Even minus the ship that would make me endlessly happy xD

Um, everyone already told you but I'm guna tell you again. Your work and items are immaculate. Haters are going to find something to hate on and odds are they are just totally jealous. I am in love with the background and wig and jacket you created, they were beautifully and professionally rendered. And yeah maybe I'm a little jealous of the other people who get to use one but seriously... the custom wearables were made so that if you WANTED TO you could make yourself ten exclusive items to sit on and guard like a dragon.... People are just stupid. Stupid stupid... And you know what? Hearing that YOU a site artist was denied makes me feel a little better about my own items being turned down X3 Anyway thanks for being so creative and inspirational. ❤️

You didn't do anything wrong in my opinion. In fact, I'm pretty sure that is exactly how the CW system is intended to be used rather than the trend of making several items and recolors to sell (though it seems that turned out better than expected for site revenue). It's disheartening to see that there's so many complaints about your items. (Were there this many - if any - about the companion cube?)

They are beautiful items, and I'm not just saying that because of the little blue box around one of them. :'D I'm really sorry that there's so much negativity surrounding this. Hopefully it doesn't make you regret creating them in the first place. Hell, might as well make more in spite. 8)

Also, if you do make a ~knock off of any of these, the poster would be great for all locations (Shadowglen, Centropolis, etc.) - just the poster itself, not the wearable (though I do love the overlay!).

First of all.... I'd die for that wig!!! Well, I'd maybe don't go that far... but it's one of the most gorgeous and pretty wigs/items on the site. The only thing that bothers me is that it's an item that seems to be unreachable. That's actually pretty frustrating to be honest. But there are a few cw that are very popular and very hard to get or that people demand a fortune for.

Basically I don't think that it should be a problem that you'r staff. I guess the fact that you'r staff just makes you an aim for frustrated users that can't get and/or afford the items. It's just childish behaviour in my opinion.

You went ahead and did it like any normal Subeta user, I don't see the problem, maybe they were just jealous? :/

Hm, I saw that post on Subeta Confessions, but I thought it was just about the wig not being seperate and how it wouldn't have been accepted if you were a normal user. Guess I was wrong.
