I've been doing a lot of FREE art on stream to promote my GoFundMePage. Today, I was streaming a free base colouring OR sketch for a share of my page on any social media site.

Now, there has been this user coming to my streams (for the past couple of weeks), asking for free art. I happily made them two full pieces with two charcters; colour; shading; and one with a full background. My commission prices for these are $12 each, and each took me at lease 2 hours to complete.

This person came to my stream again today, and asked for yet another two character piece for free. To which I replied:

"I feel like a bag of dicks for saying this, but I've already done plenty of free art for you. I'll have to decline".....They left the stream.

They blocked me and sent me this note:
"I know all you want is commissions, I understand but at the same time, I'm kinda fucking sick of it xD

Good luck I guess, I don't want to be seen as your customer, and friendship is blown out the fucking windowwwww, congratulations."

Oh, the audacity; to assume we were friends in the first place!
As per Furaffinity's ToS, I will not name drop this person; for I am the better person in this situation.

If YOU are reading this; no one is your art slave. No one OWES you anything, and the superficial "friendships" you will make in your life will NOT work. I pity you. I pity how hurtful you are, and how empty your heart is. It's a shame you couldn't be better.


From here on in, I have a STRICT one per person freebie policy, and the list will be publically posted in my journals. Anything after that will have to be paid; or will be gift art.


Dear Artists: You are worth more than this.

**************UPDATE****************
I remembered; I also did a feral ref sheet for him that he requested for a friend. So. That's three pieces of free art!! around $30 of my time!
