News, my ducklings!
We'll start off with some bad. One, I fail at writing the chapters of my stay. Just note me and I'll chat to you about it, or IM me. Two...
I am no longer a Dragcave spriter.
My sprites are on hiatus. I just can't sink more time and effort into something like this-it's gone stale and it's really hurting me, creatively, personally, and educationally. So, I've left. If they get their acts together and come into some organisational skills, I'll come back. But it's nutty right now, and it's not going anywhere. So, poof.
On the happier note, now I'll have a lot more time for my Art Diploma. Wee!
I'm going to be sinking a lot more time into a project of my boyfriend and I. It's a roleplay site, a whole little world with some more interesting gameplay than most, or at least I hope! So, you may get spammed with doodles for that, but that won't happen until I find my stylus...
Wish me luck, yo.

As for the Magma, she still needs a boyfriend.
Perhaps TJ09 should think about creating backup sprites for the released dragons, that way there wouldn't be a fog or whatever if someone decided to pull. After all, we all know how much everyone needs 2 c theyr dragonz erryday!!!!111!~!!!
Eh, that would sadly end up in drama. I still think a more proffesional approuch will have to spawn soon, because there is a metric fuckton of dragons and it's getting batshit crazy.
The problem becomes when she announces it on the public forum before taking it to the higher-ups and coming to a decision. It was effectively the same as standing up on a chair at work and saying "OH BY THE WAY, I'M ANGRY WITH THE COMPANY SO I THINK IM GONNA LEAVE AND TAKE ALL OF MY PROJECTS, K?" Instead of walking over to your boss and saying "Heres my 2 weeks notice." Or just plain and simple. "Sorry, but I quit." and then asking to retain your copyright of the artwork by having it removed in a polite and mature fashion. That way, perhaps over a designated period of time, the artwork could slowly change to the new sprites as they're made, Eventually replacing all of them, but without the drama.
As for creating backup sprites for released dragons, how would you like it if for every thing you did in your job, you had to have at least one backup person just in case you decide to leave and take everything you'd done for the company with you? That's twice the work toward the same effect, and honestly, its kind of ridiculous to suggest that. Things like this shouldn't happen often enough to require backup artists for every dragon.
And although this is the internet, and not as serious of a business as jobs in the real world, employers are looking more and more into past reputation through said internet. And honestly, if employers have any reason to fear that if they upset her she'll try to pull the whole company down with her, they're
going to have reservations about hiring her in the first place.
I'm sorry that my first comment on Dove's journals has to be of this nature, but for as much as I adore her artwork, this was incredibly immature and ill planned.
As nothing can be done about the situation now, it would be best to learn from the lesson, and just know that the next time something like this happens, it can no longer be hidden behind youth and inexperience. It will simply be immaturity.
