So, there are a few things that I kind of what to chat about that I feel would help others understand me more in addition to helping me get a few things off of my chest. This is not really a rant, but kind of one at the same time. Just a list of things I feel like letting out.

1. I do not consider my Pokemon Hybrids to be listed underneath the "fan characters" category. While Pokemon themselves are listed under this category, you can find those species in loads of other places in their designs. With my Pokemon hybrid characters, you cannot find them in their exact designs other than under my work and under the work of artists whom I've received art from. Due to this exclusivity of the designs, I do not feel they qualify under "fan characters", regardless of if they're Pokemon or not in the creatures that make up the hybrid.

2. I have a serious attention to detail at times that plays into when I commission an artist. This plays more or less into my design process when sketching, writing, and when commissioning an artist, and there are various degrees in which it's implemented. When working with existing designs, I tend to be very anal about the design in general and am far less willing to accept creative modification with the character unless the change is something that improves upon the character in such a way that I greatly approve. Celine's improved design is one such example of this. If I'm working with a text design or description, or something more vague, I'm a lot more lenient about the designs. It's a fair warning that I may appear to be sometimes nitpicky with a couple things during the design process of a commission, but I will make all these be constructive within my evaluations. I do not get nitpicky for no reason, and I apologize if I annoy anyone for this, but that's how I am. I'm usually very patient and reliable in picking out things I may want shifted a little or in design aspects that catch my eye. I'm also always open to questions about the design to make sure it's done properly and that both myself and the artist enjoy the process of the commission. That's one reason why I sometimes state "I'm willing to answer any questions regarding the design".

3. It annoys me to no end when an artist does not keep me informed about progress of the commissions that I buy. Unless the commission is a "Trust-Me" style commission, I greatly appreciate WIP's and progress updates from time to time. Even a list on the artist's page or journal about progress is often enough to satisfy me. I like to be kept informed within the process and I like to be involved within the design process. I want to make sure the process is enjoyable for both of us, so keeping me informed about what's going on and sharing WIP's if applicable really helps me in the process as well.

4. I tend to take an interest in people from time to time. Whether or not you're working on a commission for me or not, I will at times potentially check in on you to see how you're doing. While I am interested in progress on commissions from time to time, I also take just as equal interest in your well-being. Just because I pop up out of nowhere to see how things are going does not mean I'm asking about the commission. If I want to know the progress about a commission, I will ask you directly about it.

5. Taking a commission from me does not mean you are allowed to use my characters other than what I permit.

-What you can do with commissions from me
--Post them
--Use them as examples for future commissions (prices and such)

-What you cannot do with commissions from me
--Make and sell prints of them
--Use my characters for anything other than work for me unless you have my explicit permission

Hope that's been a little helpful in sharing a bit of light onto some parts of my personality. I'm usually exceptionally patient and friendly, but this should bring a couple things up that I needed to get off my chest. Until next time.
