Why I don't take commissions

Because I honestly get asked for them quite often! Like generally I get asked once every other week if I do them. Which truly, it never hurts to ask, and I'm flattered people desire to ask me for such a thing.
In all truthfulness, the extra money would be a fun thing to have, but it all comes down to one thing for me.
I don't want art to become a job, as it's something I do to settle down and relax after working. I come home, and if I don't intend to work on my writings, then I will often settle down onto youtube while I draw. Art for me is a relaxing hobby :D
Now...when you toss in someone wanting to pay you for it, not only does it add a bit of stress to "perform" accurately, but you also no longer get to draw what you feel like. You are being paid to work on someone else's idea, which sadly removes the "fun and relaxing" factor from the equation for me. Some people DO enjoy doing it for money and I'm glad they are able to do so, truly! For me though; it's just not something I'd want to do. The freedom to work on what I want, when I want, is perfect the way it is. Unlike my writings, I'm not looking to become well known for my artwork. If people happen to like what I post, then that's just a bonus and I'm happy to know others enjoy the stuff I work on in my free time!
To that I would say, hell yes! ;D

Even if its a bit sad because you surely whould do the same great work for others than you do for yourself. But i, and surely everyone else, accept that you want to keep it relaxing doing art. And i still like what you draw!
But if you want to try it some day, the good thing is: You can have your own rules. You decide what kind of commissions you accept and what "kinks" you will draw. And you always have the right to say "no" when someone asks for someting you dont like or thats off-limits for you.
I could bring up something but how about we just call it done since I got a copy of your book and that wonderful poster? Thanks again for that BTW!
I do like your art and was hoping to get something from you one day!
Your vision of art is the same for what I do on Twitch. A hobby seeking to hold me after work.
We do not seek celebrity but we try to show emotions through creations.
I go down for the request of what I did to you but know that, for my part, I am very open-minded and I really agree that the artist to whom I ask are free on this that he wants to do especially at the level of details and background. I am not demanding.
Thank you for your attention and I will continue to watch your creations that you post. Hoping even more content on Alura that I appreciate a lot in her dress version woman.
PS : I have use Google traduction ^^'
