I have been trying to edit that previous post to take out istock.  I dropped them years ago.

202
123, I dropped them because sales were low and it took them forfreakingever to review new uploads.  I had to remind them every time.  Finally, even reminding them didn't work, so I told them they weren't keeping up their end of the contributor agreement, and to pay me what they owed me and delete my profile. 

istock, I dropped them when they lost my trust. 

Shutterstock, I dropped them when they went insane with vector upload requirements.  I was unhappy for a long time before that, but stayed out of sentiment, since they were my first stock site.




203
Photos taken on the space station.  Not at all suspicious. 

Not that an astronaut wouldn't have a side hobby of selling stock photos, but how could they be doing the underwater photography while they're in space?

204
When I do a vector version of an older illustration, I add variations, such as a black outline or stencil version.

Here's an example.  One extra with no gradients, and a black outline version.

Teepublic is like zazzle or cafepress.   Shutterstock may well have a "shop" there.  If your correct name is on the item, that's probably what's going on.  Ask support, and in a year or so, you may have an answer.

As a buyer, I am happy to go to ExcitingStock for all my unusually sized artboard vectors and blurry photos of dead flowers.   They have everything I need, including out of focus ducks!

How to do it at 4mp ?  I don't know how with vectors ! I never had problem before uploading my work but those changes ... i don't understand.

In order to create a 4MP vector, you have to reset your artboard to a larger, non standard size.  The result will be a really heavy file, unless the vector is incredibly simple.  You'll also have something you probably can't upload anywhere else.  Essentially, Shutterstock's new idea DOES NOT WORK.

That's why I have not just disabled my portfolio, but asked to have it removed entirely.  They're too stupid to be trusted with my work.


208
I wonder if I should delete my Bigstock as well, since Shutterstock owns it?

209
Aaaand, I'm out.  I have been hot and cold about Shutterstock for some time now, and I'm finally truly fed up.

Someone in upper management had an idea, and the people who actually know how things work were unable to stop them from doing probably the stupidest thing ever in stock illustration.

topsimages only offers the watermarked preview anyone can download for free.  They also offer a link to purchase the image.  I have no problem with them.

212
They're the same person.

213
123 has always been slow to review.  I started routinely sending them a message whenever I uploaded, so things would get reviewed.  Now that has stopped working.

Time to bail, I think.

214
They just sweep for available files online.  It's bait for their malware.  Your images are not in danger.

215
I would take $50,000 for my portfolio in a heartbeat.

216
They seem to be a legitimate secondary market.  Check with your particular sites to be sure.

Barbasol IS a trademark.

It's pretty easy to tell when the same person is logging in to two different accounts from the same computer.  If your Aunt wants to sell illustrations, she needs to get her own device, AND she should do her own uploading and checking her account.

Never mind, I found it.

The problem is that you are NOT Christopher Campbell.

designer093, I can't find your images in the archives.  How many did you have up?  What name were you using?  Even if your account was removed, the thumbnails should show up in the wayback.

Drawing classes would help you to create more exciting and realistic shading, which would make for more appealing images.

Sometimes, I just can't stand people.

Upload vectors on GL the same way you do on many other sites.  eps and jpg with the same name at the same time.  Make sure the jpg is big enough.

225
Let me put it this way.  If some idiot uploads my images to pixabay, and you download them, and do this, I'll sue you until your ears bleed.

So, don't take the chance.
