Hello!
Before reading this journal, please think carefully before you comment.

Fancy me a KO-FI!
Before reading this journal, please think carefully before you comment.
Thank you!!!!
Fancy me a KO-FI!
I have decided not to order any art commissions anymore.
From now on, any featuring my fursona and OCs shall only be posted at the original artist pages.
I am very sorry for this decision, but I am tired from all of this.
Artists have become more expensive.
I have too many ideas to have drawn, but no artists to agree to draw them.
It feels my usual fetishes and fantasies are out of bounds now.
Plus. it doesn't matter how many times or how much you pay: you are only a customer.
No one to thank for, no one to rely on, just a barcode to get money from.
It's just not fun anymore.
I don't have time to write anymore, no one wants to read anymore.
And no matter how much time passes, you are not forgiven.
Months, years, decades: they remain the same.
Even someone you appreciated and praised and thought was your best friend can oust you with a single click. After many years.
All because you wanted to take part in a big project.
But he doesn't like you. He never liked you. He doesn't even bother to talk to you.
And all brought to me were thoughts, dark thoughts. Bad ideas, the worst I could think.
I cannot describe such pain and sorrow.
If no one I offered my help and friendship wants it, then no one deserves it.
I had enough of this.
From now on, I will not post any new artwork on this page.
I think every artist deserves to be paid, this is NOT a claim nor begging for free art.
This does not mean you are not allowed to draw my characters either. You can always send a note or contact me for any artwork.
I am just tired and sick of talking to the same wall over and over and over again.
Farewell...
UPDATE:
Do not fav nor commission

He knows what he did.
He does not deserve your money.
He has to face the consequences

Yes, no matter how many times you commission someone or how much you pay you *are* just a customer, and you shouldn't expect anything more than that.
Commissioned art is just a business transaction. You have money, the artist has talent and time, the two are exchanged, and nothing more is owed after that point. The artist isn't obliged to be friendly towards you, or offer a discount, or offer special terms, or whatever it is that happened.
It's tempting to *think* so because artists are generally friendly people anyway, and they have to have a good customer service demeanour on top of that, but it's still just all transactional.
-ignores/rejects my request
-says it doesn't want to draw a hunky wolf, then some time later he does (especially if it is Horkeukamui).
-blocks me after trying to participate on a project (some even having dealt with me for years).
-suddenly raises their prices, making the whole idea unaffordable.
I just don't know what, how or who to order my art commissions anymore, because it doesn't matter how much trust or praise or good will you put to it: it feels like hitting a brick wall.
I tried everything: brief descriptions, reading the terms for request, trying not to be rude nor desperate... All I show is respect and good intentions for nothing.
And I had enough of this.
Was that clear enough?
Aparte de eso, siempre he pensado que me falta técnica o más habilidades para ser ilustrador o dibujante, por eso suelo cobrar muy barato por mis comisiones, para mantener un equilibrio entre lo que pido y lo que valgo realmente por mi trabajo.
Quizá estoy siendo demasiado auto-conciente, pero siempre he preferido tener una especie de cercanía o simpatía con mis clientes o mis amigos que gustan de apoyarme.
El dueño de ese personaje esta dispuesto a pagarte y apoyarte como sea.
Pero de algún modo, su apoyo y motivación es tal, que te agota y decides no responder e ignorar a ese admirador tuyo.
¿No piensas que puede enfadarse? ¿Que se vaya a enojar?
¿Que te da derecho de, a pesar de dibujar su personaje decenas o cientos de veces, puedas bloquearle y borrarle de tu existencia y que eso lo solucionará?
¿Crees que esa es la manera sensata de actuar ante una persona que, con su apoyo, ha conseguido darte reputación y fama suficiente que ahora tienes amigos mas influyentes que él y que eso te da derecho a borrarle de la faz de la Tierra?
Responde de la forma mas sincera y honesta posible.
O mejor: preguntaselo a
A la persona que me bloqueó tras años de confianza y aprecio, y que decidió que ya no le valía por hacer una puja en un proyecto del que yo estaba mas que interesado.
¿Eso justifica tu empatía y aprecio por tus clientes?
