I over-charge for my shit
I shouldn't charge people at all for my art
Even if what I make for people takes hours to complete
And is rather acceptable
fuck it


I'm sorry, but people piss me off so much.
I hate how I take into consideration my skill level, and the time it takes me to get stuff done, my accuracy, etc and put a price on it that I judge to be suiting. I don't have a huge ego. I don't think my art is the best out there. I don't think I'm a big name artist. But I know what I do, I know the effort and the skill I put into these pieces for people and I don't let them buy shit art off me.

I think the prices I put on my stuff is fair, if not cheap. Repeatedly I have people tell me I'm undercharging and yet I still don't raise my prices.

But people here keep popping up and asking me for freebies or lower prices. As if I'm over-charging. I also don't like when they claim they should get a discount just for knowing a friend of mine. You know the discounts my friends get? None. The closest thing you could count is when I, at random, choose to give them gift art once in a while.


People need to realize that art isn't something you just have laying around already. It takes time. It takes practice and skill and a whole lot of shit. And if I should give them freebies they should just draw their own fucking art.


I should start showing them other artists that do commissions, show them the 100$ price tags on their shit. Maybe then they'd realize I'm being fucking rational.
fuck.

EDIT:
Also, not to toot my own horn, but I draw this shit with a mouse. Not a tablet. So it's a bit more difficult for me to make shit anyway, don't you think?
