forever thankful and blessed about it. Met great people along the way, did wonderful things. Worked VERY hard for it. But I guess I’m tired now. There is a person behind the work, I’m not a corporate asset. Some people get gifts and praise, I got really good memories and a lesson to learn, I guess.

work collaboration history with the company. it felt dehumanizing. After having someone saying they’ll do stuff to valorize and promote my work, I got this. It broke me. That’s why I’m going on a league fanart hiatus. I did enough. I gave enough. League was crucial in my art career and i’ll be

lines of corporate impersonal feedback after privately asking for it and then radio silence. Ten years of fanart. Eight years freelancing for the company. Not even a personal message or warning about the scope shifting. Just a silent cold shoulder. I am atm the ONLY italian who has such a long

email. I didn’t receive and email and was excluded from the program. I had to message privately to get a reason as to why i wasn’t re-included. I thought scarce posting was the reason (fair but fixable). Turns out artists are not in the scope of the new rpp and i was excluded. I only got but a few

and answer. I should have talked about the “partner experience”. Guess what. After but months of being in the program, the direction of it changes and needs readjusting to align to global. Partners are warned they’d remain in the program only after re-applying and receiving confirmation through

Demands about it have always been talked over, no feedback was ever received nor addressed.
Communications fell completely after I had to decline my presence to a con due to a last minute work conflict. I couldn’t do otherwise and was incredibly sorry, tried to contact multiple times, never got

but my name is nowhere. I asked for it to be included, I was told it was a “typo” that would be fixed, but has never been corrected since sept ‘24. 5 art pieces completely new, no press or website mention. Nobody ever said sorry. Mistakes happen, I guess, but damn. You credited one, credit me too.

asked who the author was. My art was used online for promo and play club announcements. Not in the contract but still absolutely legit.
But when the official press release and website article came out… my name vanished. There’s the name of the famous streamer who did the logo (absolutely fair)

When the album came up i was invited to the reveal event, though nobody knew who i was bcs my presence wasn’t announced. Some folks guessed bcs I look like — me drawn on the cover. In social media, more than once my account wasn’t properly credited. Sometimes the tag was added after ppl in comments

was indeed busy and uderstaffed so it was absolutely understandable. Also i can manage myself pretty ok. It’s my job, after all. I delivered fast and finished, got paid (a lil late) but still safe. My credited name was in the final album and.. i got in the partners server. After NINE years, finally!

much more an agreement to be paid, but after collabing with rito for 8yrs i felt safe. I did the art fast and basically how i wanted to, no hard direction whatsoever, so I could express my love for rito and the community how i wanted. Stellar. Communication wasn’t always steadfast but everyone

collaboration request went through. the ita office had a huge project in the works: a sticker album with the current partners (such albums are iconic in italy and part of our culture). HUGE deal. I was available and more than ready to work, and got the commission. The contract wasn’t a usual one,
