Give me ( and my characters ) a little respect
15 years ago
You know, this same kind of blatant disregard is the same kind of crap that made me leave the fandom in the first place. I'm almost afraid to rant about it, because I'm afraid some pervert is going to go, "Ooooh...that's a good idea!" and go off and create wank-material of their own just to spite me.
For instance, with the help of an ever-watchful fan and friend, I caught someone writing and uploding tentacle rape stories about me/my fursona, Alethia, right here to FA and a few other locations. Only to try and be sneaky, they switched the first two vowels of her name, so that it was spelled 'Elathia' in hopes of not getting caught. What was worse was all the people oggling over this story and providing fan art of my character being raped.
When I confronted this person, they tried to insult my intelligence by claiming it was a mere coincidence. COINCIDENCE? I think not. You expect me to believe you wrote a ROAD ROVERS tentacle porno about a white Japanese Spitz Dog named 'Elathia'? Japanese Spitz Dogs are a very uncommon breed of dog, and quite honestly, most people in the RR fandom had never even heard of them until I showed up with my creation Alethia 14 years ago. And I'm supposed to believe you rearranging the two vowels in her name was pure lazy coincidence? Give me a break.
On top of that, without pointing fingers ( let's just say the perp has the same handle as someone who is watching me here at FA. Might be coincidence, might not ), someone is taking all my art of Alethia, chopping off her head and tail, and copy-pasting them onto chicks getting buggered up the @$$ from hentai scenes and uploading them to f-chan.
My art gallery is not your personal grazing area to just take my work and manipulate it to your perverse pleasures. I can't stop you from, *ahem*, over-enjoying particular characters of mine, but show some goddamn respect and stop redistributing my artwork and altering it pornographically and taking my fursona and making a cumrag out of her. This kind of bullshit and disrespect towards artists and creators is what made me leave the fandom in the first place 8 years ago.

The following may change at any time. As commissions take up more and more of my time, prices may increase. Changes may be made also as I encounter commissions that bring up things I may have forgotten to mention.
*Please expect anywhere from several weeks to a few months depending on complexity and other factors in anticipation of your commission. I believe in producing quality work, and often do a lot of prep work such as character studies or several drafts of an idea before what is then the final, completed commission. Any and all additional prep work for your commission is given to you free of charge*
Base Prices:
Badge Option 1: $20 - Mixed media, color badge size 2.5 by 3.5. Comes in a pre-punched, reusable soft plastic badge holder
Badge Option 2: $30 - Mixed media, color badge size 3 x 4. Laminated onto heavy, color cardstock and hand-punched.
Pencil Sketches - $25 for one character - These are pencil sketches done in blue and gray pencil leads. They aren't 'clean', ie., there will be a lot of build-up of construction lines. Additional characters start at $5 each.

Digital Colored Pieces - $50 for one character, with additional characters at $10 per character. These are done in Photoshop.
Traditional Hand- Colored Pieces - $60 for one character, with each additional character being $15 each.
Backgrounds start at $10, and vary depending on complexity. And any other add-ons or type of artwork is always negotiable or open for discussion ( like a simple profile view of a character to show markings and stuff colored digitally would be less than the normal digital prices ).
Content:
I'm basically a 'Rated R' artist. Violence and gore just short of things like disembowlment are fine. No pornography. Nudes of both sexes may be depicted with sexual organs visible, and may be drawn cuddling or passionately kissing another of either sex, but no 'insertion' or intercourse may be depicted.
I cannot be commissioned for licensed characters for legal reasons.
I can and will draw humans and/or anime style.
Payment:
Payment is required up front. I prefer paypal, but other methods are accepted.
I'm typing this up rather quickly, so I apologize if anything is left out. Thanks!!!

That is disgusting.
This is what happens when a lack of imagination and a lack of respect collide.
In this case, it basically shows that your talented, and their not.
While there are some creeps, there's also a lot of honest fans. For Alethia, and the rest of your crew.
I'm sorry you have come back into contact with this stupidity. Just do your level best to stand up for yourself and keep your cool at the same time. I know it gets daunting and tiring. You've got fans who'll back you up too.
Have you considered re-opening you website?
