No more commissions/collabs with Danadriel
2 years ago
I already decided it few weeks ago but forgot to be public about it, I decided to dont draw my fursona Danadriel, in any of her forms on commissions, be the piece nsfw or clean.
I was struggling with it by accepting some ideas and rejecting others, but to ease things I decided to blanket ban all of them, this way I dont need to be selective or accidentaly be rude to anyone.
"But why?"
I genuinely get flattered so many people in recent times showed interest in having a commission involving my fursona, its practically a wet dream to be paid to draw your own characters and I would have no issues drawing any of my other chracters for money...but Danadriel is a entirely different story.
The first and lesser of reasons is because some of people who came after me for it don't really get the character, and only want she on the piece because she is hot, sometimes asking to put her in degrading scenarios I'm not confortable to draw and so on.
Second reason is that I change her appearance a lot in according to what I feel, sometimes when I find old drawings with bad ideas or concepts that annoy me I just purge them, I love to have this freedom, and I cant do it with a drawing someone paid to have.
The third reason is that I don't want my image attached to anyone I don't know well, when I draw a commission I want to "deliver forget about it" I may have fun drawing it but its a product for a client in the end of the day, when I deliver it, its yours, you use it as you see fit...but with my sona attached to it I feel stuck and worried what will be done with that, what stories will be told on description,where that will be posted, how the client will behave and so on...I already had the displeasure to draw art for people who turned out to be massive bigots, and I dread to think having an image of my sona (and my image as an artist) permanently attached to people like that.
No this is not an attack on anyone , if you have a commission with my fursona you don't need to remove it or anything, everything is fine, its just an announcement for future works, and if you had any plan to buy a piece with her and you had a neat idea, sorry, Im too paranoid for it! nwn''

An understandable decision. I always liked the character and her adventures in the various realities, so the last thing I want to see is you becoming disillusioned and burnt out so I hope we see more art from you and best of luck!
