Bookend's Sketchbook

[Bookend]

Hiyas Misty! Uiriamu here

This story about brad rigney, cryptcrawler, has been around for quite a while, but it's been in total shadow over at conceptart. It's such a shame, and i'm not sure if he ever got what was his. I think I saw a post that TAD did themselves on facebook after this controversy, where they apologized to cryptcrawler and did what they could to set things in order. Here's a bit more information about Manley fucking up TAD. http://www.theartdepartmentschool.com/ and urgh yeah, he was sexually assaulting women at work via mail and when they turned him down he went full on psycho and wrote horrible stuff to them, just because things didn't turn out the way he wanted. He's weird.

This is nothing new to me, but i've taken a pretty good distance from engaging and supporting Manley. I guess having an account over CA is enough support, but I haven't bought any of that Levelup stuff.

I'm glad you started out your new sketchbook here, as far as I know Crimson daggers isn't as populated as CA is but people give good crits nevertheless.

Thanks for the additional info, man. :) I just like how Crimson Daggers was founded-- The people behind it, and the community seems awesome. Lots of people from CA on here too, so I can keep up with peeps. :D

I totally understand keeping a distance from that aspect of the site, but still taking advantage of the community and resources, no judgement on my end, haha. I was just shocked pretty hard by the audacity and the utter massive madness of it all, and I'm kind of ashamed of supporting it through LevelUp.

I'm guessing that Rigney wasn't the only person who had some massive issues, and it's just... Yeah, such a shame, such sadness.. I don't really want to be a part of that. :)

But yeah, moving forward! I'm looking forward to getting crits on my work here. I think it's just nice to have a place to chronicle my journey, even if it doesn't get a lot of attention. I know I'll improve as long as I keep at it. :D
