Freebies
11 years ago
since
made this journal http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/5849737/ on the same subject of freebies i wanna to say something too.
Those of you that know me, know that i don’t mind doing freebies from time to time, i don’t. I especially don’t mind it, if the person has no art of their character. Only because it could help them to use as a ref later down the road. i LIKE doing that.
it makes me happy to see them happy, and helping them out. that feeling is something i love, just the sheer joy and warmth that comes from making people happy.
what does bother me, is when people start to get really rude towards an artist, in regards to free art or requests. How they either demand, or assume they should get free artist. As if all artists are at their beck and call? and if you’re doing none of these things, people get bent out of shape about not getting free art? what makes them feel so entitled to it? or how, if they’re accustomed to getting free art, if you tell them no when they request something, they get bent out of shape about it, should you call them out on it?
should just be given to them whenever an idea strikes them. It’s one thing, to request something, and should the artist politely decline, you have to be rude about it?
i don’t know, the whole thing kind of makes you not want to do something like that, which i think is nice and fun to do from time to time. All because there are a few people who tend to ruin the fun of it for everyone? Why do some people actually act like this? i guess i'll never understand it.
bottom of the line here, if you only want to be friends with someone for art, stories, rp's, or basically nothing to do with them as a person other than something you can benefit from. stop.
that's right, just stop.
you're being dishonest and disrespectful to that person.
so please, if you see and artist you like, check their page to see if they are open for requests or trades. if they aren't then move along. i mean, you can always ask, but don't be surprised at the answer since the page already stated otherwise.

I don't normally have the time to draw things for myself, cause I take on commissions most of the time so I can pay bills and things. If I do have time to draw something for myself, I also have a bad habit of making the drawing way better than anything I am commissioned to do.
Is that a little clearer?
I've always approached artists for being a friend, because I am a creative person and I love to talk about ideas and share topics we may have in common or have them basically tell/show me another side of something I may not have seen.
And yeah, being an ass to someone or simply wanting to be around someone simply for the benefits and not treating them like a person? There should be a punishment for that. XD
yea, but when you do commissions you still have to tread carefully or you get a label on you then no one will want to commission you.
