Mental Wellness Rant
6 years ago
General
It's a small little rant. No need to read it, I just need to get it out. I'm beyond frustrated today and my stress level is through the roof. I try to be very pleasant with all my commissioners and feel i usually go above and beyond for people. I dont usually request additional fees even though some characters are incredibly complex. For those who do not understand bases let me break it down... they're $5 typically. That means to make minimum wage i need to do roughly 2 per hour. If i do edits or you have complex markings like tattoos, it is not going to take 30 mins. It's going to end up taking more time, which means if I do not ask for an additional fee then I'm essentially working for free. Do not be a dick when you feel the base does not fit your character AFTER the work has been done. After you had the opportunity before hand to ask for edits or whether or not things could be altered. If I go out of my way to be kind do not treat me like shit after the fact. I'm doing what I can to provide a pleasant service that is quick and affordable. If you want something super specific... BE SPECIFIC. Also... make sure you have a damn clear reference and if something is so important to you that you feel it makes or breaks your character, you need to point that out or make certain it's clearly identified on the ref.

Thank you. I really appreciate that and I'm happy that so far you have nothing but good things to say.

Some people just ton't understand others need to live off that money. Just refuse to work for those people, $5 is an amazingly low price for the quality of art you are doing.

Thank you. I usually do a lot for people and am willing in most circumstances to do additional complexities for free. I just do not understand the demand for more and more and more. It happened multiple times yesterday when I went out of my way to try and do something nice for people. Including one where I did a whole additional image completely free and the person came back with complaints that were never even initially clarified.

I dont know but they sure did. Got to be just too much for me yesterday. I eventually just had to stop. Never had such a compounded day of poo.
