awe you are not a mug, hugs!

A.. mug? o.o

And its quite alright, I can understand the pressure/Stress it can put on an individual. No one will get mad or upset if you stop doing them. c:

Though you do some great work. The only reason I'd personally wish for you to keep them open(While a bit selfish, it is still a valid reason, I think?) is that I lack the required funds for artistic purchases, therefore I cannot obtain art pieces from purchasing them, I have to get'em from freebie opportunities.

Of course this scenario doesn't apply to 100% of everyone that asks/begs/attends your freebie streams, though I'd take a guess at least half or so are in the same boat as me.

And with that in mind, I ain't sayin' this to make you feel bad at all. I'm just stating what is on my mind. c:

I gues it, but its kinda sad to think people dont think your worth even a dollar.
Days like this make me feel sad, this is my livleyhood I dont eat if i dont work; and the more freebies I do the less people who want to support. They just go ah fuck it ill just wait till she gives away her shit. Then when ineed help with money nobody will support me.
It makes me feel like a bad artist and kinda uncared about as a person.
Like being nice to people and then receiving a kick to the face. -n-

I understand completely. I think it'd be fair to switch to a different route from now on.
A bit of an example..
A friend of mine who is an artist does one freebie commission/Picture PER person, and won't do anymore past one(Few rare exceptions).
It does rack up some of her artistic queue lists but she does value commissions over freebie work, therefore commissions are done first or have more priority.

Personally, I would definitely purchase artwork from you if I had the money to. But as I said above, I lack the funds to do so.
I do think you should stop Freebies for awhile, though. Maybe offer a discount on all or some commissions to get the spark back in people to purchase some of your work, at least for a lil while.


You really do great work. I'm sorry that you've been feeling this way for awhile. >:

Poor you... i felt the same way some months ago. Just keep going dear! but dont do freebees... cause your art is amazeing! You should charge for it, doesnt tneed to be a lot, but they should see that you are not a cheap ass person drawing stuff for free... you have your value... cheer up!

why is someone who does freebies considered cheap ass?

its just the general thought of people. they start to treat you like shit, are ungratefull, and demanding even if you do free art for them... the fandom is a sharktank...

Juicy. I love you and your work. Though I'm not an amazing artist, I used to have loads of followers that only really cared if I said the word free. It actually drove me to leave FA and stop making art for two years. Came back with a new FA and all that jazz too.

I come to your stream looking to be inspired, which works all the time. After your latest stream I whipped out my tablet to work.

If I weren't a ramen eating NEET, leeching off my roommate, I would buy all the things as I love your style.

I was so happy to get one of your freebies, but it came as a complete surprise that you would even do them.

Your art is at a calibur that most people don't bother passing out free art, and honestly you don't need to.

If you really want to as a personal thing you could always do it on the holidays or even like just a monthly/bi-monthly/year quarterly thing

But I understand your stopping, I only do it on occassion to for the same above listed reason. People just won't buy if they know they is a chance for freebies ;_;

I know how you feel.

When you start doing freebies, you get kinda angry or sad.

For me I would get like 10+ watchers a day when I did freebies, but honestly it wasnt worth it, whenever I asked for advice or just a little help they would ignore me.

then BOOM the moment I asked for freebies they call started crawling up my ass for one.

Its tough being in this sort of fandom, lately its all about drama and free shit.

I say, if someone comes in constantly to your streams not asking for anything, they should just get a thank you gift or maybe just draw some free shit for someone who you think deserves it?

Its all up to you, Personally I dont go running to get free shit, I just delete most journals on it unless I feel the need to get some good art.

I hope you feel better!

When I first saw your art. I came to you with my money...I didn't expect freebies or raffles or pass outs. Like everyone said your style and art is AMAZING.

You drew my pink bun boy for me and i could have never been happier. I don't do normal comissions...i've had some bad experiences..pwyw is what i tend to search for, but for you? I'll look further into it. Your kind and willing...And everything you do inspires me as an artist as well.

Who cares if you stop freebies. I only do freebies who eithier are comeback customers or close friends. You decide what makes you tick. Not what makes everyone else tick. Keep going on. You're worth more than you think, even if it is to just one..or a few people.

I don't get the mug thing but not doing freebies seems right

I need to say that I was absolutely thrilled to get the raffle from you as your art, your style, your everything is really truly amazing.

I just couldn't believe that I had actually gotten something from you, and I was/am going to be so thrilled to show off your work to other people, which I have been doing. Everyone tells me how cool of a person you are, and how your work has this certain style to it that is unique. You aren't a mug at all either, you're cool, you're awesome, you're fantastic, and incredibly talented and a wonderful person all at the same time. I honestly WANT to commission you, I want to get some cool art from you, but I honestly can't afford to right now which is why I was so thrilled at the chance to get something. I'm sorry if I was ever rude though, as I didn't ever mean to be.

When you stream I tend to come by a little too late too, but when I do happen to see your work, I'm blown away by the way you work, how you go about it, how you manage to make soemthing awesome and beautiful on the same time. I do understand though why you don't want to do freebies, where people pretty much climb on you like vultures, where they have no respect for you or your work. Yet I do JooJoo. I feel like you are a good person, your fantastic, your wonderful, your sweet, and I really think everything you do is worth it. And you're a good person, and not a lot of people recognize that fact.

I want to help you out financially, I want to throw my money at you because you are worth it as both a person and an artist. But I can't exactly do that myself when I don't have the ability to spend any money myself right now, maybe later on I can. You are really awesome, and I'm still just so thrilled I had the chance to get something. But what really matters is what you think is best for you as a person, and how you want to move forward. Pay no heed to anyone who acts like a vulture to you beating you down and trying to emotionally and mentally mess with you, but pay attention to the people who actually treat you like a person. You are a good person, and you do what you do best. Just keep being awesome alright?
