Random art update + New TOS/other PLEASE READ
6 years ago
Making an update journal of stuff related to art because the last journal was eh and mopey, plus I've been meaning to make this journal for a while now...
I'm not if anyone actually reads my rules or TOS on the drawings or listed on the front of my page, judging by a lot of comments I am assuming not. But then again my TOS are a bit of a mess and jumbled... either way please read this. A bunch of updates/or more so stuff I just haven't gotten round to publically stating until now related to my art and commissions and all that.
I am bringing up these issues because they're happened multiple times. Rarely but multiple enough to make this. Most of these are things I am tired of cheap asses attempting to get me to do for free. GG I've said it, and other furries have said it to me: a lot of furries are cheap and will try to scam you outta shit and boy do I know. So here's things I am tired of dealing with, I'm just gonna link this journal if I get someone doing this to me again.
********* NOTES *********
If you haven't gotten a reply to a note you sent me within a few days to a week or longer(one I didn't reply to for a month, good grief I'm sorry) feel free to leave me a shout or send me another note. You aren't being ignored I most likely forgot. I got a lot of notes to get through and a lot of people want WIPS of the lineart so I have to get through the notes and figure out if I replied to them or not(Khol I am re-editing your sketch if you see this) hence why a bunch haven't been opened yet, because if I open them I'm gonna forget I opened them and then will be more likely to forget to actually reply. That and a bunch of my notes have gone missing(thanks FA) open ones don't seem to vanish. If I forget what you bought its nothing personal but I honestly don't remember anyone's names or characters on this website but maybe two people and even them I often label their commissions wrong on my computer. I am retarded and have the brain of a goldfish and a even shorter attention span, forgive me. If I reply asking what you bought that doesn't mean I haven't worked on it yet, my commissions folder on my computer is at max unsortedness at the moment and I have about 7+ completed linearts or partial linearts that aren't labeled so yours might be in it and I just haven't completed it yet. And before anyone says label them by the usernames of the buyer, I did that a week ago. It did not help because I don't remember anyone's names or characters names. Between my insomnia and being up too late I'd forget my own name if I didn't need it to introduce myself. I had to redo a commission two days ago because I drew someones DAD from a separate commission on someone elses couple image. Fun times.
*********I will not edit your commission past a week of completing it/ I will not edit your commission past a certain date*********
For multiple reasons actually. You have a week after posting the commission to tell me any errors I made(if I had no caught them by then myself) or I will not edit it. This goes SOLEY for the people who, for some bizarre ass reason, see the commission WITH the errors, then note me a entire week, and in one case MONTH after I had completed it to tell me to fix it.(They hadn't even commented on it before hand either). If you choose to not notify me of errors up to a week after completing, I am not going back with my valuable not-getting-paid-enough time to edit it again. I don't get paid enough for this, if you want me to edit it you're gonna have to pay up
Second reason being I deleted PS files a week(sometimes longer if I am lazy, but rarely) after completing it, so I will no longer have the PS file, so even if I wanted to take non-paid hours out of my time to fix something you purposely chose to not tell me about I couldn't because I no longer have the PS file. I deleted the PS file and flat image off my PC, gone buh-bye the only existing ones are on FA itself.
Also, this obviously does not apply to people who are busy or cannot get to me within a week, this has happened before. I've had three people in the past tell me I made a mistake a over a week, and in one case month after it was completed. I asked they why they didn't tell me sooner and they said they just didn't for whatever reason. You have been warned. If you for some weird ass reason don't alert me of the error past a week I am not editing that stuff.
********* I will not entirely recolor your commission when it is almost complete with your updated new ref/design *********
This one has happened over five times to the point its becoming annoying. I didn't edit any of the offending commissions, btw. If I have completed the lineart, and especially if I already started coming and certainly if its already completed with colors I am not going to entirely redo it because you updated your character reference and changed the characters design. Its fine if its something simple, but someone had their solid colored mountain lion suddenly become a rainbow leopard with 10 different shades and intricate markings and expected me to edit that shit for free. No, I am not editing your solid colored simple character to a rainbow leopard. And BEST OF ALL, entirely switch characters! No, fug off with that it is not happening. Like I say every time : I DON'T GET PAID ENOUGH FOR THIS SHIT. I get paid less than I could at Mcdonalds, and in the same way McD ain't giving you a extra burger for free, if you want me to edit your character when the commission is almost complete or entirely change it I'm gonna expect 25-60+$ extra depending on the edits. This also goes for lineart edits. If your dog with a collar suddenly turns in a dragon wolf with give pairs of horns, three wings, and ten tails you're gonna pay up or its staying.
********* I am no longer doing porn of Official Characters*********
Not all, this generally only applies to some. I don't like doing it. I usually only do it when I am desperate for money. I did some Lion King and Balto porn and I hated it, it disgusted me. Absolutely no other reason besides it makes me personally uncomfortable and I won't do it. There's no other deep or professional reason besides "I don't like how drawing this makes me feel". Some people don't like drawing vore or inflation; I don't like drawing porn of characters I grew up with. I just don't like doing it and I get paid nowhere near enough to sit through drawing porn that makes me uncomfortable.
Maybe if someone rolled up and said "I'll pay you $350 to draw a Disney orgie" I might be down but I get paid less than a Mcdonald worker so my commissions don't stretch pat my own comfort level anymore unless I am desperate. I ain't get paid 'nough for that shit.
So if it's from a kids franchise, the answer is a automatic NO. However, please ASK ME if you wanna know if I'll draw that character from a video game/movie/Tv Show/book/whatever.
There's too many to list but here's a general run down of most of them.
*No animals from well known kids cartoons.
This means no Balto, no Disney of any Kind, no Don Bluth, No Watership Down or any of the other series made by that author. No Scooby Doo, Blues Clues, HTTYD, Sesame Street. Ice Age, Alpha and Omega.
Hayao Miyazaki. Zootopia.
*No Okami, Legend of Spyro/Spyro, Undertale, My Little Pony of any kind(including OCS, I'm not a clopper and won't contribute to it).
The short answer is: if its from a kid cartoon I am most likely not gonna do it.
I don't care about from franchises or characters. Example I have done NSFW of a Mabari from Dragon Age and D-Dog from Metal Gear, but it's better to ask if you're unsure or wish to know.
********* If you want WIPS you will have to ask*********
If you want WIPS of your YCH or commission at ANY STAGE you will have to ask. It's not my job to ask every. Single. Person. I work with if they want a WIP. Even if I wanted too there's no way in hell I am gonna remember to ask. So when you buy something from me if you want WIP of the sketch before linearting then the lines before completing it then you will have to ask other wise I am just gonna complete it. I, obviously, can and will make edits after completing so if you need something edited feel free to let me know. I've had people get pissed at me I didn't send them WIPS before completing: you didn't ask. If you don't ask then I'm not expected to do it. Having commissions where the user needs WIPS also take me longer because I have to verify with the users, which means sending it and waiting for their reply to complete it.
********* If you want WIPS when asking for a update you will have to ask*********
Same as above, if you ask how the commission is going and don't ask for the WIP don't expect me too. I generally do lately but I forget more often than not, and then I've had some people go after I tell them what stage it is "Well, you gonna send a WIP or not?" bro if you want a WIP you ask if I don't first good god.
********* I will not entirely edit the YCH, its not your own personal commission*********
This one. This one has happened so many times it's infuriating. My YCHS are cheap by comparison to my original, from scratch commissions. Because they're a pre-determinded YCH with a predeterminded background a post. You basically pay me to fill in this coloring book as your character. I am NOT going to entirely change the YCH commission because your cheap ass thinks I am somehow stupid enough to be duped into doing extra for free. I am not changing that YCH of a wolf lying down in a desert to it 'floating' in a Aztec winter forest complete with leg changes. If you want the Aztec winter forest floating picture your ass is gonna have to commission me for it to be drawn FROM SCRATCH I am not editing this image to not only entirely change it from what it is supposed to be but do it for free. I have had so many people try this shit I have lost count. It makes you look like cheap scum, especially when you ask the prices of my commissions then try to pull that editing shit on me directly after. I know what you're doing, I'm dumb but I'm not that stupid. The general rule is if it breaks the original sketch I WILL NOT do it. There are some small edits I allow, sometimes expressions or the birds being changed or something. Please ask if you wish to know.
********* If you're unsure of something please ask me*********
If you want to know something please just ask. I can't put everything in the rules especially since I don't know what specific thing you're thinking about and might want to have do/have expectations when buying the YCH, and no one reads the rules if they're long anyways, so please just ask me., thanks.
That's all I can think about currently, thanks for everyone's patience. I updated my que and apparently have 16+ commissions g o o d g r i e f. News years resolution is to finish most if not the majority of those early in 2020 so I can have more time for commissions and myself.
