R.I.P Requests
9 years ago
Hey, Watchers.
I got some bad news for you guys: I am no longer doing any requests pics EVER again. I know some of you may have read one of my most recent journals, if not, here is the link: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/6885269/
I have asked everyone to be patient with me about requests and when anyone ask for one, I tell them I will get it done ASAP. I got a lot going on in my life and if I get any down time, I usually am too tired or too stressed to work on making artwork look as decent as my current skill can make it. So I do apologize to those who had to wait a long time for pics.
However, with the current requests I have been getting, Not one person has been patient with me. I can understand it if I were paid for it and if I had nothing else in my life to distract me. I know that some artists here and other sites online do this for a living right out of their home, but I do not. I started posting artwork here for 5 years now as a hobby. I figured "why the hell not?" At the time of posting my first pics here, I was homeless and jobless, living in a back room of a family friend's apartment with my mom. Then it became something bigger and I started doing free request pics for anyone who asks. I figured that I'm not a good artist, and to this day, I don't think I'm all that great, so I never charged anyone for it.
Up until a couple of years ago, pretty much all I did was requests pics. There were more pics requested by other people here than my own personal ideas. I finally began to slip away from requests a little. I used to post artwork all the time. I would post a pic three or four times a week. Now these days, with a full time job and a split family with family members who always want me to do things with them, I haven't been doing much lately. If fact, you can take a look at the first page in my gallery and see artwork I did from a year ago!
Now, I'm doing my best to continue interacting on here and posting artwork so that at least some of you may enjoy my ideas, but I have been getting too many of you guys being extremely impatient with me in trying to do FREE pics for you guys. Frankly, I am tired of it. I have enough stress and things going on in my life, I don't have the time nor patience to be dealing with that. I can slightly understand that maybe you are excited for it and you are currious about an update, but being asked over and over and over again, constantly throughout the week about what is going on with your pic, it is very rude and I do not appreciate it.
So from this day forward, I will no longer be doing anymore request pics. I know that in the past I have said things like "I am done" or "I will not be doing them temporarily", but this time, I am dead serious. If I have to, I will take crazy, dumb, drastic things to ensure myself that I will no longer say yes when anyone requests pics (and no, I'm not talking about anything that harms anyone). All I have been doing on this site for the past 5 years was a hobby and a way to socializing with people who are like me. This isn't my life, this isn't my job, but all of you just immediately assume that it is and think it fair to be rude to me because I take a long time to do something for you at no charge.
I do apologize to those who have been patient and appreciative with me for the past few years, but I'm done. If anyone has any issues with my decision or thinks I'm a complete asshole, then be my guest in clicking the "unwatch" button when you are on my art profile. If I get any sort of nasty message from anyone about this, whether it's attached to this journal, on my profile page, or in a private message. I will delete the message and you WILL be blocked. This is the only time I will express this.
I won't be leaving this site. I will still be here to post artwork and chat with you guys. Overall, I do like it here, I don't want to leave. The only thing is changing is that from now on, you will only be seeing artwork that I personally thought up. Maybe, on occasion, I will team up with you and we can both come up with a pic which I will give credit to you, but as for official requests, I am done.
Thank you.

Sorry to hear of it. I really shouldn't have stressed you with requests... <=\
Sorry to hear of it. I really shouldn't have stressed you with requests. I still want to see your uploaded artworks but not accepting any more, im just blessed ur still here
At this moment, I cannot tell you how much I wish to express my anger towards the impatient requestors that have permanently ruined it for everyone else. because of them, everyone else, including myself, will never get anything from you. x(
