Artist Abusers/ Free art
11 years ago
I notice a lot of people love free art, I mean who doesn't? But a lot of times said people abuse the artist as if they OWE them art, then complain. I mean free art is fine but at least watch the person you asked to make you art. Just be respectful and recognize boundaries. Getting free art is a GIFT, if someone gave you a random present you wouldn't be like "Give me more, and its not expensive enough". You say thanks. I think this is just a good thing to remember. Baibai~ Love y'all
I can still remember from like my 7th or 8th birthday (sometime around then I think) where my best friend's mom had got me an Alien action figure. (The Ridley Scott movie series) It was so foreign to me, as a kid I was not exposed to R - rated movies, so I only saw this grotesque monster... worse still it's "karate-action" as it were was it explodes into pieces: It's head and arm, it's legs, it's other arm, and it's blood red guts.
Now is this the sort of thing one expects a little boy to understand/like?
Cuz I was straight-up honest, I expressed my distaste of it right then and there.
I recall one of the two (at least) of my mom and his, telling me I was being rude.
If only I was eloquent enough back then to express why I thought that it had been a bad idea instead of what I did, but I'd stand by my actions that day.
(sorry, kinda got caught up in that one.
If you read all that, thanks for reading. ^_^ )
Granted getting free art rocks, specially from an amazing artist. The only time I get iffed when receiving free art, is when its of my character they draw, and they forget stuff on the character. (Granted, half the time I dont say anything because when its free art, I feel like I'd be horrible to point things out they did wrong ; x ; )
I've had that as well, where someone will want me to draw something for them, and I do it, then they un-follow me a few days later. (Ha sucks for them anyways cuz back then my art was horrid >3 )
I'm horrid at explaining things, so I hope this came out okay.
I can agree to what you say on here 100%. This is why I tend to keep my art free only to close friends. I do however tend to do pictures for people whose characters I love, or someone I respect :>. (Granted I have yet to do that here, since I can barely keep up with things on dA x3.)
