Hey
It's been almost 2 years since I've been here. I just wanted to apologize to the entire art community for all the incredibly stupid shit I did. It was completely unjustified and to this day I still can't believe there was a point in my life where I was able to think it was ok to plagiarize in any shape or form.
I'm sorry to you guys. I'm sorry to the artists I used. Genuinely. I know no one cares anymore, but here's stuff I've been working on: www.HelixDream.com https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJY-PQrkcUM ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I hope to legitimately contribute here once again if I can. **Since I'm not being run off the site like I was expecting, I'll add more content. I'm still freelancing and running a business. I'm a part of 2 different creative agencies that whore me out to mostly high end corporations. Right now I'm working for Level Studios on projects for Samsung, Lenovo, Chase, and Bank of the West. I rebranded my business specifically for the medical industry. So my personal clients are all pharmaceutical companies, doctors, and engineers. I also fly out to medical conventions around the country every few months and set up a booth passing out brochures and cards to promote myself to the other medical companies there. It's actually really starting to take off. I have 6 contracted employees so far and it's only been growing over time. Kinda proud of that so far. |
Re: Hey
Well, at least it's nice to see an apology from you, considering your previous attitude. Still, I don't know if I could trust you just yet, but if you're legitimatly trying to be legit, I'll give ya a shot.
|
Re: Hey
I really am sorry. I have no idea what I was thinking. My excuse was I was using it as a marketing tactic, but I think deep down I just liked the attention without having to put much work into it. I've learned a lot since then, and hope to put all of that behind me.
|
Re: Hey
just know that if you pull that shit again people will find out haha
|
Re: Hey
FFR has always been unreasonably good at that sort of thing, I don't doubt the sleuthing skills of this site for a second, lol. I have no plans to ever even think about doing something like that again. I know I have a long way to go before I earn anyone's trust or respect back, but I'll put in the effort.
|
Re: Hey
It's good to have you back and see you learned something from that lesson.
|
Re: Hey
Welcome back, good to see you learned from your mistakes and are ready to move on and reintegrate yourself into the community.

Re: Hey
Are you using Jkreativ wordpress theme for your website by any chance?

Re: Hey
Just curious ds, you say you learned a lot... But from where? What changed this conception you seemed to have pretty deep down your soul that plagiarizing and pretending you made dragon paintings in 3.5 hours was ok? Just curious.

Like the site though. Nice job with marketing use on it (your three column aligned left is driving me nuts though at the demo reel. lmao) |
Re: Hey
w@
there was that big project thing where you asked people to give you shark pictures idk what you did with that |
Re: Hey
Nice to see that you learned and changed. Plagiarism usually doesn't end well no matter who does it. Your photography is nice though, so kudos to change :)
|
Re: Hey
I remember you with your art and stuff way back when. I wasn't here at all for the whole debacle on stealing, and am a bit surprised you did. I can't remember all the stuff you've made in the past, but with the talent you had, there wasn't a need to do that. I understand the whole "attention grabbing" thing, since I'm always dying to get that, but just be more careful on how you go about getting it. I hope you've improved past the art you posted in the previous thread so you won't have to even fathom the though of plagiarizing again. ;
Welcome back, mate. |
Re: Hey
I know some people are still a bit salty, but I, for one, am glad to have you back, ds.

Re: Hey
Well, Darkshark you are very appropriate to apologize to the community for your actions, and I can say that I can forgive you. HOWEVER, you will work to regain the communities trust, as trust can not be easily won....
|
Re: Hey
Glad to see that you owned up to what you did in the past; it takes a lot to come back after not only doing something that bad but also facing the same crowd that basically exposed you from top to bottom.
Hopefully we get to see some more awesome things from you. |

Welcome back! Glad you are remorseful and have long changed your ways.
I must say, your work is stunning. :) |
Re: Hey
Thanks for you answer! See ya on the forums.

Re: Hey
I will give you 3 guesses.

Re: Hey
You didn't reply to my earlier post. Is your website wordpress based and are you using the Jkreativ theme?
|
Re: Hey
You guys never cease to impress me with some of the threads I wander into from the front page.

Re: Hey
Your MO is about the same except you put the word "genuinely" in front of it as though your word means anything. Go tell someone who cares. IDK why this community would be receptive to you in the least.
|
Re: Hey
Seriously. FFRtist my ass. Anyone with a fucking pen and tablet can study until the normal person looks at your work and finds it impressive. But you're not an artist. Go fuck yourself

Re: Hey
darkshark is a total disgrace and hes showing himself around here just like usual i find it gross. especially that everyone is so ok with his return. is ffr so run down and backwash that all its members are ok with crooks coming back. uh..... wow. have some dignity please. too much to ask on a site like this i guess. 90% the people here are rejects
|
Re: Hey
there are tons of people not posting in this thread and I'm probably guessing that because most of the stuff they have to say aren't the best of words that they want to describe darkshark by on a forum that has such reputations. Trust me, if everyone was ok, there would be at least 6-7 pages of responses, but generally there are mixed reactions, and quite a few of them are just not for this forum.
Agreeing with riotpolice's statement. After getting such a huge exposure like that on here, it's going to take quite a while to gain a footing/trust in the community again. There's gonna be a lot of skeptics and turned backs. |

he sux for life idc ill always dislike him so i can say what i want and he can "dwi" .... he definitely shouldnt be coming around here for more ego stroking
|
Re: Hey
Nah she's right. Dark shark is a shameless pos, and for people to be allowing him back with open arms is ridiculous. He's shit
|
Re: Hey
I'm with sytho on this one.
|
Re: Hey
Well in that case, I hope you guys don't ever make a mistake. I won't ever let you live it down and make it my duty to make you never forget! I'll throw in insults for free.
Genius. Find something better to do with your time, if at all. |
Re: Hey
i feel like i'm in high school and the dude who cheated to win all the pep rally events for the spirit shield is trying to apologize and the nerd ass student council is all butthurt.
|
Re: Hey
I make mistakes all the time. I don't give a fuck. There's making a mistake and there's doing the shit he tried to pull. That wasn't a mistake, he pulled that shit and guarantee that if the people here didn't catch him he'd still be doing it. Fuck that, Fuck him. It's not like he needs all our approval anyways, it's a forum. I'm not butthurt, he's pathetic.
|
Re: Hey
That sounds kind of butthurt

Re: Hey
I'm not completely trusting of DS either, but the comments towards him are incredibly rude. If you're not willing to forgive him for what happened, that's fine -- feel free to say that. However:

Re: Hey
![]() I made an art. Only took me half an hour using photo shop pro and three layers. I made it pixel like to give it a more natural internet feel. |
Re: Hey

Butthurt though? Give me a break. It's simply the fact that to say I'm skeptical of dark shark not being a shitpile again is a gross understatement. The dude pompously went about this site for yearrrrrssss claiming skill as a prodigal artist and then when he got called out, his way of saving face was so shamelessly egregious, that it's just absurd that he is making an effort to come back. Darkshark is the Jerry Sandusky of FFR |
Re: Hey
I understand I'm never going to be in good-standing with a good handful of people here, but keep in mind that given time people can change for the better. I've done terrible things...and during that time I really did let my ego and greed get the best of me. I was an absolute ass hole to everyone and felt entitled to everything for no reason at all. So Syhto, Korny...you guys are right, I am a piece of shit for everything I did; but I'm trying not to be anything like that anymore.
If I could change the past I would, so all I can offer you guys is an apology and a promise to never be that person again. |
Re: Hey
lol, he said i'm right. CASE CLOSED!
really tho I was drunk last night and I'm not unwilling to forgive. I may be dramatic, but i wanted to be the stark contrast to the reception you were getting, to give a smell of the stink you left behind. I do think you have grown however. i mean who wouldn't and this is a forum gaylords lighten up !!! |
Re: Hey
alioth idk why you like size 72 quoted halogen's post about not flaming or insulting people in the thread and then proceed to post what you just did (while also previously instigating in the same post as the quote by calling people 'retards') but ok man

Re: Hey
Ease his way back into what? This community is just a shell of what he left as it is. I mean, I called him off as an FFRtist and he changed his subtitle. That's ground being covered. It might not be much, and he still may be an annoying, shitty person, but he's gotten better. And that is a win for me.
|
Re: Hey
Ease his way back into something he wants to ease his way back into?
Changing his subtitle only after being called out instead of doing it on his own accord knowing why still having it as a subtitle would offend so many people? The amount of posts he's made in this thread is not evidential of anything that could substantiate the claim "he's gotten better". It just doesn't. Like I said, I just came here for the fire fueling for my own amusement, but there's nothing that really shows he's gotten better. |
Re: Hey
If that's really the issue. I mean it's still darkshark he's not that great. But what I see is that this stuff effects him. And whether it effects him enough or not... i guess is up to the individual to decide. But he's alright to me right now. I mean look at how low the dude really is, and how low we all are. I feel more like cutting him a break than making his inadequacy front and center cuz he's a person just like me. Like where's the humanity in it all

Re: Hey
Nah man, it's not like that. It's not a matter of you being better or worse, just a matter of there not being enough evidence currently to definitively state one way or the other. I'm all for you trying to make amends I mean kudos to you if your intent is genuine, i was just pointing out on syhto's behalf, that there just isn't enough evidence either way, as she was claiming that there was a sufficient amount for herself.
Do what you do and let your actions represent and speak for themself |
Re: Hey
People make mistakes, yes his mistake was a terrible, terrible one, but people change and grow over time and end up realizing what they did was wrong. It takes "courage" to man-up to your mistakes and apologize for them. Yes it took 2 years, but give DS the credit for actually doing it. Shit happens, we all fuck up.
