i really wish i could help you
but i dont know how
Don't let them get to you!
If you're abiding by your TOS then it's their fault for still commissioning you if they have problems with it.
Mental illness can be very criplling and people should have common sense to realize you simply cannot hold someone with a mental illness to the same standard as someone who is perfectly fine. You just can't.
I know you're scared of conversation and people but if you ever need someone to talk to I'm here!
This is very unprofessional of your commissioner(s), and I'm so sorry that this is happening to you. This ain't right..
Hopefully things will calm down for Senpai because this is terrible :/
You're awesome, and you're amazing for being an artist and trying to make a living at it -- keep your head up and I hope things look easier soon! Always a challenge to find the right ways to manage queues and get shit done effectively with mental disorders pushing the wrong directions sometimes. You can do it mate. : )
Also, if people don't have patience for artwork they paid for they need not commission people, imo. I've waited up to several months for a piece before and while I do get anxious, I would never treat a hardworking artist in any such way over it. So sad that others do.
So whomever is being ugly for no reason, forget them.
Just from reading this I see you're overwhelmed. Perhaps let people know you need a break from social media, and take a few days for you if possible.
Something I usually suggest to others is when you do take commissions, try to keep them in batches of 3 or 5. That'll help you from being overwhelmed as well.
I hope this helps a bit. Please feel better soon. <3
Please don't take on more than you can handle, and I know that's hard if it's your only source of income. But really don't overwork yourself. You don't need nor deserve the added stress.
Someone as nice as you deserves better, and I'm sorry for the trouble you're having with your illnesses. Hopefully you can get some comfort soon, and good luck to ya!
*hugs*
I'm extremely sorry to hear someone has wronged you this badly, Senpai. Please do what you can to take a break and have some you time.
Some people don't understand that fast art isn't always good art! I would much rather have an artist take their time to make sure everything is perfect, then a artist you just want it over and done with! I dont want art that way.
I commissioned you for a icon in December. I have no problem waiting! I've read your journals, and I know things are very difficult for you. I totally understand, BELIEVE me!
You are an incredibly sweet person! You have a great deal of commissions to do! I say your list O_o THATS A LOT!!! You're an amazing artist that deserve more respect! If it helps at all, you can move my commission twords the end of your list! I really don't mind at all!
I hope you feel better soon! WE LOVES YOU!!!
in regards of the whole court thing, someone commented with a "what if" statement on my old tos and i revised it already, but they werent even a commissioner so it wasnt a problem with my business, it was just a statement
it was pretty much just a nit-pick with my rush fee thing and i fixed it i hope
edit: main reason why i dont do refunds is because my funds immediately go towards my medical and other bills, so im usually "broke" the majority of the time, but i dont mind discussing with a commissioner if they wanted a refund really bad
edit2: thank you for the suggestion i will edit that part of my tos as well
I just wanted to drop in a tip as I often see artists on A_B with the same kind of TOS being posted about, and having to deal with that and someone potentially opening up a Paypal chargeback (and the fees that come with it) can be a lot to deal with. ;;
Many of us would simply shut down and block it out.
You have strength. Don't let these impatient people bring you down. Breathe, collect yourself, and move on.
It sounds easy when typed out, but I know from experience that it's not. If you ever feel open to it, we can talk. I know I don't personally know you but I'd like to help- or at least try to, if you'll let me.
I am sorry you're suffering right now.
I wish I could protect you from the narcisstic bastards in the world.
Take comfort in knowing that their threats are empty. To try taking you to court would cost them unreasonably and they would most certainly lose, IF the courts even chose to entertain them with a case at all.
<3 let us help you.
We love you.
You are so strong and beautiful.
It will not be this difficult forever.
Take a deep breath.
Let it out slowly.
Youve earned the quiet. ♡
Tell me whos being ruud! I'll beat dem up for ya!
