Reasons to my rules for Request
6 years ago
Well, I just experienced a fairly prime example of why I had of my rules for requests to begin with.
A bit ago today, I was approached by a new user to do a request. He double checked that I had openings for requests which I confirmed. Thus far no trouble. He sent me the details and it came to pass that he asked something of me I felt uncomfortable crafting. So I declined politely as I could, saying I would not do of such. He asked for the details why and after being explained why, he responded that I was unworthy of doing the work anyway and proceeded to block of me.
Now, had he not responded with that less than polite comment, or block me. I would have stated if he still wished to ask for something else, with the detail I was not comfortable with changed, Id be happy to still do it. Instead, this. Now before he goes off making journal comments of me or the likes that I can not see now obviously, I am saying so first. I also noted, he actively erased my reasons for not doing the work from his final response. So, I do not know if he plans to slander me or not, but be as it may, it is for this sort of nature that I made my rules to deal with being asked with requests to begin with.
Now, since I need to point of this out, I shall. Things I do not like to craft, when it involves mainstream characters. Characters of the likes of Disney, Sega, Pokemon and other sorts of references, I have a slight 'yes and no' matter to. In particular characters of Disney series I have myself grown up with, I do not like to craft them in certain activities or having things done to them, from the kinkster adult matter to serious or gore matters. I am not one for it much, in some elements, perhaps, a character who say is a hero and is likely to get 'a bit scuffed up fighting a villain' that tis one matter. With their limbs removed, it can be another mater. If its done such as some works as say, magically teleporting the limb from its usual spot, but its still connected in some way that it is not painful or sort. I have no trouble with that. I can not properly list off the top of my head, but generally, young characters or certain parental characters I generally will avoid crafting in well a lot of type of scenes of more serious description. Again this can depend, and I am willing to work on the matter
Again though, if you are willing to ask me for a subject matter I am uncomfortable with, keep that in mind. But equally, if this keeps happening. Frankly, I do not see a reason why I should truthfully keep taking of requests. More so if this is the sort of response I get for declining to do a particular subject, I really will not have reason to do requests to begin with. It is one thing to disagree with folk on what sort of thing one another does, its another to go to someone asking to something they feel uncomfortable doing and than just outright insult them. If my skill is so 'unworthy' to do your request in your option. Do not bother to be the beggar than.
Sorry for the rant, but between this and other issues of my rules being rather ignored or unnoticed it is just very frustrating and depressing to begin with. Not trying to sound rude or the likes. But again, I made the rules and I am offering my help to ideas from those who can not craft well themselves if they so enjoy my style. So please, I do not ask commissions because generally I do feel I am not that grand an artist with simple art skill and program at best 'doodling' or 'sketchwork 'as I call it. And again, this is for free, my offering to you if you would like. And to just be treated so poorly, it is just disconcerting and just makes me feel for those who take such abuse when it is their means for funds and livelihood if this is how people treat one another for 'free' matters..And in all hindsight, I think for now, I will not be doing requests for a bit till I get my breath back, so back to my own workings as it were.
Thank you, and good day.
-=-=-=Request Rules=-=-=-
So, before getting to a few matters of my projects I wish to bring up, I will be given a set of rules for matters of being requested things.
1) I will only accept at a time, four requests at a time, one per person. I will do my best to put the list of requests already placed and waiting on my recent journals, so if there is no open spots, please wait for another time.
2) If there is an available slot for a request, contact me through notes. I try to be polite to everyone I meet at first and following after, so I do ask you be polite too, just to be sure also please ask if the slot you are wishing for is still free, as I may have simply not gathered to filling the journal.
3) When we have confirmed the slot is open, please tell me the details of your request. And I do stress, 'details', I know we are not all English speaking folk and translation and wrong words can happen. But, I would really like to know what it is you have in mind in as much detail as possible. Saying something like as example 'draw a athlete practicing' is vastly to vague and I would have to put far to much effort coming up with well, everything from the character to the scene, background if so wished to the activity they are doing for something meant for someone else. So, please, if you request something, details to help me work less on the thought process of the minor details as I can focus on the big picture you are looking for. This also means though, please do not just send me the link to a picture or video and say 'draw this but with this character', more so if there is a lot going upon a picture. Again, I know some do not speak English as a first language and I can understand translating is difficult but please this helps.
4) And this one, I will deeply stress to everyone interested in requesting me. These are requests, I am offering to anyone within reason! So, after seeing the details of your request in mind, I may decline your request for the time. I will decline the craft if I am one of two things, first, uncomfortable crafting this. You can gather my galleries and generally see what I will and will not craft, if its something I do not wish to craft, I simply wont. If it is not too centered to the craft, I may still accept the request, but not include the subject that makes me uncomfortable to draw up. Second matter, for far too much effort. If you wish for one or two characters in a simple scene, this can be done, depending. But I still have my own intended gifts and projects on mind all the time, so if one expects me to craft an image of twenty folk in a vast city scene, I am sorry but I have only so much skill and time.
5) Understand as said, I have other projects, and while I generally try to work on requests shortly after asked, this does not mean they have 'priority' over my other works. So, do not expect them to be the exact next submissions in my gallery. This means, I may take a week, two weeks or perhaps more depending on what I am feeling able to do at any time. So do please be patient.
6) As stated, I will do a single person's request at a time for each of the four slots. Four slots, four people at a time. However, after one request is done. I do ask that you kindly do not just 'instantly' jump back with a second request the moment your first is done. Please give other people a change to ask first for a bit.
7) Given how often this has happened, I am adding this rule now. IF YOU CAN NOT FOLLOW THESE RULES, I WILL DECLINE YOUR REQUEST!! I only had five rules before these addends and it still boggles my mind how many people in the course of a few weeks simply glance past and over most of them instantly. It is quite frustrating. So if it is apparent you are not even trying to see how I manage my time to take someones request, do not find it unfair I do not want to take my time to do your request then.
Out side of such that is roughly it for requests, if I am not taking requests at the time, my journals will show there are no slots at all so please do not contact me if that is the case.
