well I can see how making a request out of the blue could possible be taking as rude. I would consider it a bit 'bold' but its not unheard of for people to request art work. I mean you were watching this artist right? Leaving comments and such? I mean at the worse if you were polite and civilized about a simple art request a polite and civilized decline would be understandable! Generally as a rule if I'm doing commissions I don't take requests unless its a really really good idea (and "will U drawz my CharaCter?!" isn't a good idea). Long story short I look at it as someone being 'bold' but not really rude, I mean is it a big deal to simply say "I'm sorry but I'm not doing requests just now" Maybe the people just are very very bored and find Drama a form of entertainment so they breed it.

Well,  shizuki has all the info. The artist who was asked didn't say anthing...however another member came out of nowhere talking shit to my lil sis of saying asking a request is rude....

The problem was this:

My little sister watched SonicArtistA (as an example) and SonicArtistA watched her back. My little sister loves her art, so decides to ask on her page: "Just wondering, but do you accept requests?" Before receiving reply from SonicArtistA, InternetPooptartB comes in and calls her rude. He's not the artist nor is he friends with the artist my sister is asking.

I took it to notes and told him I found what he did rude, and that he shouldn't butt into conversations just to call my sister rude when 1) what she did was NOT rude at all, and 2) he's not the artist, and it's the artist choice to decide whether or not is is rude.

The guy didn't listen, kept noting me about how I shouldn't let my sister get away with being rude and "attacking the artist". =/

SonicArtistA even replied to my sister and said, "Only for friends, sorry! Maybe in the summer though! XD" which meant she didn't even take it rude anyways.

ok so....your sister was cool and polite about asking....the artist was polite in declining...the only person that was an idiot was this random fan that took it on themself to be the voice for the artist (and answer before the artist did). Thats just stupid. I can understand if someone bugs the artist and the artist is shy about being clear that they won't do the request but this was just stupid, the only person that had a problem was this random person that had nothing to do with the request in the first place. Lol! Kudos for sticking up for your sister by the way

It hurt her feelings pretty bad. This dudes excuse was "You don't learn till you get hurt." D<

his answer to speeding is probably a missile launcher....overkill much?

I understand... I had a fight with a terrible hater of everything and everyone... every single piece of art he didn't have in his favorites, was horrible... he made a rant of me being a furry and a rant at other's comments... he was banished from DA

but really, DA is full of these people... lots of haters... it is now a sh*t place... like a sh*t house... I'm thinking seriously of taking down my account...

It never hurts to ask about requests. No real damage can be done. To me it's just like asking about comissions.

I don't ask about requests because I feel I don't deserve them.

Whats the harm in asking? D: It better than just being like "Would you draw this for me, no I wont pay" :/

*hugs*

It's not rude at all and anyone that thinks so is a fool beyond Fools.

Lol, I didn't know you would explode here too, calm down dude. XD

Sweetie, calm down, the situation has been dealt with, he's just another psycho DA member, and who cares if he has people agreeing with him, just let em be assholes, karma will get back at them.

...*sigh*...alright...for you big sis...man...

I actually replied to his journal, with a civil mature response, and if he doesn't listen to it, he's a lost cause anyways. Besides, my sister as well as many people on FA and DA know he's retarded and just a troll that won't be reasoned with, so it's easier to just let it go and let karma bite him in the ass.

i did the same; formal conversation....meh...i'll let him go...for now...

I understand your fury dear, I have known a lot of those on DA (I have a DA account), in there 80% are complete idiots, but if the little girl that got hurt is now fine and the artist that she asked to is also fine, then let that idiot die in his "Im the savior of all slaved artirst" world, he is not worth your time dear, so calm down and cheer up n_n you have a lot of people on your side

yeah, well thanks. lets just forget it then.
