I need to vent
6 months ago
General
You know, I like to think I give the simplest of instructions.
Whenever somebody comes to commission me, you get me hyped up, raring to go draw this out, then you pull the rug out from under me saying 'I can pay like... two months from now.'
Guys, I'm far more understanding when you tell me AT THE START that you can't pay me till whenever. Or better yet, don't come to me at all till you have the money to pay me! It ain't hard, people! All this does is piss me off! But I'm not THAT kind of an asshole, so I won't do a tax charge for 'wasting my time'
But why am I bothering saying this? Nobody cares. You didn't give a shit about the last journal I posted, except for one. I don't get nearly as many comments anymore for my art. So it just feels like I'm just wasting my time here!
But I'm not gonna be that whiny douchebag and quit FA just because of one bad day, considering I've been in a bad mood since last night because of this. Cuz of that I may have just fucked over a friendship with them after years, cuz I got so angry.
My pride won't allow me to stoop to that level of bullshit.
I'm not looking for sympathy, nor do I expect anyone to give a shit. I just don't care anymore.

It's not much, but I'll do what I can to help, friend. I will admit that FA has been feeling a bit more dead to me these past few years, and I;ve been far more active on Deviantart, Twitter, and mostly Discord. But I'll stick around FA to give you company in the notes.
"I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today!"
And I want you to know that you're not wasting your time. You're an awesome artist who does fantastic work. I think there's definitely just a lot of general burnout from a lot of the community due to how shitty the state of a lot of the world is. As you said I'm sure you're not gonna quit, you just need to vent, but I do hope you know how many people appreciate the hell out of the art you make.
I'll do better to keep your good graces with discussing commissions with you in future.
Your art is in a league of its own, and you deserve respect for making it your livelihood. Keep pushing forward!
I'm a lot better now ^^
