So I posted a picture so that kinda means that I am back in business.

I want to semi set some more limits because last time I had people ask me to do some things I didnt want to do and instead of saying I didnt want to do it I pretended that I might and just ignored people.

which isnt very mature behavior.

Anyways. I dont like excessive and obscure gore, such as blenders or meat grinders.
I dont like anything thats unrealistic such as characters that are excited when they are about to be killed... or other unrealistic stuff that I cant think of right not.
I dont really like non-red blood I guess.
A big change I guess is genital mutilation. I dont like it when the focus of the picture is genital mutilation.

All these things are not really hard limits but rather an understanding that I work a lot better on art when I am excited about drawing it.
I like having a little of artistic freedom to try new things because ultimately getting better at art is a big desire for me. So I want people to understand that new things may not look exactly like things in the past
and that might actually mean that the newer stuff is better but it also might mean things look a little weird sometimes.

Anyways, things I really do like, are strong emotions, interesting situations. I like gore in which the person is actively being killed rather than already dead.

I also like doing things that are not gore at all. Fetishy yeah but after doing like 6 gore pieces in a row last time i found myself really not wanting to draw something that includes any gore.
I might even be apt to put a lot of effort into something that is not sexual or weird at all. Just because I dont have a lot to show "normal" people. which is kinda sad.

I go out and Im like "yeah I am an artist" and people are like "can I see your art?" and I am like "No" :(

ALSO a big thing. Drawing many characters is difficult for me. Maybe its a style thing, but like I have realistic lighting and realistic anatomy so when something is slightly off it really stands out. Therefore
drawing 2 characters is like 4 times as hard for me as drawing one and drawing three is like 9 times as hard ect... I realize that this is something thats more my fault and semi-shouldnt be accounted for but its true.

So like often people are like "60$ for one character? can I add an additional character doing something for 20$ more?" and Im like "dang thats not what it should feel like its worth"

I mean 4 and 9 times as hard or whatever might be some abstract exaggeration but the idea is still that I like paint my stuff rather then sketching and then beeping and booping things together and then cellshading ect.
and making multiple things mesh together can be difficult sometimes.

I think the deal is that usually people spend a lot of time on backgrounds for one character so adding another character at a discount is often a good deal for the artist because they can put two characters in front of one background, save time. For me I guess I just kinda dont really draw backgrounds so it doesnt mean anything.

I really just need to fix these things myself and figure it out but I thought I would just mention it.

___________________________

I feel like a lot of artists have a lot of different qualities of art that they can do depending on how much that they are paid. Since I kinda pain things I feel like I kinda just have Crap quality and great quality and no in between

This is another thing I need to work on, however it comes up when someone wants a like 30$ cheap commission and im like "how do I not spend 17 hours on this but also not make it look like it was done in 5 minutes?"
ill try my best I guess >.>

___________________________

So people can start asking me for commissions again if they want. Im a little scared but Ill try my best.
I know I probably lost a bit of trust by cancelling on a few planned commissions and getting slow near the end. however the one commission that I fully accepted and then cancelled on, I did do for free 8 months later.

I have probably gotten a bit better then I used to be but Ill still start off around the same prices until things start going smooth again.

Send me whatever. I know in the past Ive been kinda the "he will do whatever artist" and thats kinda how I was making money. I guess its just a wish but I hope I can find things both me and the commissioner can be excited about.
I like interesting things and interesting is a strong subjective that changes from person to person but lets see what people have.

I might start refusing some commisions if they are certain things I described that I really dont like or if I really just dont feel good about it.
However dont let that stop you from asking. I really dont judge on things, its just hard for me to work on something if I dont care for it much.

I wanna stay positive so lets see what wonderful things I create in the future.

Ill probably start creating art for my D&D campaign and posting it into FA until I start getting commisions. So like if I dont get commisions I can atleast keep creating art and advertising my skill.
So there might be a bit of SFW non furry art in my gallery for a little while depending on how getting commissions goes.
