Hardly surprising that porno companies would have sleazy business practices. But I really hope somebody comes up with a way to sue them but good, even given my normal distaste for lawsuits.

Jumped ship
Jun. 11th, 2007 03:19 pmI've bailed out of Jaxpad.
Why? Because my stuff keeps getting flagged as inappropriate. Irregularly, frustratingly, and nonsensically so!
You see, they have this rule, about it needing to be "anthro." So it can't just be animal art, or people art, it has to be animal people.
But they don't enforce it regularly AT ALL. Winged non-anthro wolves, fine! Non-anthro griffins, fine! Non-anthro dragons, all good! A non-anthro unicorn, sorry, bzzzzzzt! It's an animal, has to go! Humans in fursuits fine, humans wearing tails with a butt shot showing the tail, fine. Human wearing a tail in a photo that shows the human's face? Bzzzzzzzzzzt! It's a human, has to go!
Frankly, if I'd got the impression that it was going to be strictly anthro-only, I probably wouldn't have joined in the first place. My gallery was full of... well... non-anthro plushes, loonakits, non-anthro Windstones, stuff like that. Why some got flagged and others didn't, I really don't understand, and it was driving me crazy. And as the only actual "anthro" art I do 99% of the time is fursuits, I decided that I get enough publicity for those on lj and deviant art, so there's no point in getting this kind of frustration from a dinky little gallery like jaxpad, so I bailed. I'm gone. Not going back, either.

So today's work thus far includes finishing the pony hands for a fursuit. (Realistic-ish ones that are pretty dang cool, if I do say so myself.) And also attempting to get the head off of the Pink pony. It is not cooperating at all, even with boiling, all that happened was that it got all deformed. The plastic was squishing around everywhere, and it was a pain to get it back into shape before it set again, but the glue didn't soften one bit. And I boiled it for like ten minutes. I'm probably going to just end up fully decapitating it too. Bah.
