Throwing Up Some Thoughts
5 years ago
Hi everyone! :)
I have some thoughts I wanted to share. Part of this might even be a question, but i'll let you all judge.
It's possible i've never made this clear, but i'm not really that great when it comes to artistic talents. While I haven't done anything along those lines in a very long time (since like high school or so) what I did back then certainly wasn't terrible. Mind you again, it wasn't great by any form or means, but it also wasn't terrible I feel. I still have all those pieces up in my gallery for all to see who wish to view them, but again, don't expect the greatness of Picasso out of me so to speak. XD
With that said, I have however, commissioned many wonderful artistic people throughout the years. All of whom have their own wonderful, beautiful, unique art style which I have personally loved and adored. Furthermore, they've been as just much wonderful people to converse with as well. Let me step forward and say that you have all been a wonderful part of my life and I truly do thank you for it. I found FA in a very dark time in my early life. Through that time and beyond, you have all been so amazing to me! You've been there to comfort and to guide me through such darkness. Many years later, I have become strengthened with each individual friendship that i've made here. Not to mention, i've also found myself in a much better position in life because of all of you.
I promise this isn't a goodbye post by any form or means! I'm just typing out many different thoughts.
Anyway, what I am attempting to do, (very slowly yet surely) is post various artworks from many of the individuals that I have commissioned in the past in my gallery (with expressed permission from the artist always, first, and foremost). For anyone that comes to view any artwork in my gallery, I usually always post an icon link of the artist themselves so that: 1. They receive the proper credit at all times since they themselves did the commission for me. 2. Others can easily find that artist in particular that they may, in the future, commission that artist for themselves or check out many other works the artist in question has done. In other words, i'm showing the artist some love by directing others toward them that they too may be supported.
I feel that in all the time i've gotten in touch with any artist, whether to commission them, or to be able to get to know them better, I have either: 1. Left them a private message stating exactly what my intentions are. Or 2. Left a small "shout" comment on their page directly. If I ever leave a comment on an artist's submission, it is to usually give praise to the artist. It is to tell them they did a wonderful job on the particular piece in question. Depending on how the piece moves me, I might also give personal thoughts to further demonstrate how much I loved the artwork. There have also been instances over the years (not many) where IF and only IF I know an artist well enough (for example, if they enjoy very small roleplay) I might form a small scenario based on the artwork itself. This, however, has not happened in a really long time. Furthermore, what with things like Discord and other forms of social media, I feel roleplay is best left there specifically.
I have always strictly felt, that at NO TIME whatsoever, should one simply say "Hello. How are you?" in the middle of an artist's submission or journal entry. If someone .... ANYONE wishes to say that to a person, please do so in the outlets mentioned in the about paragraph (Private Message/Note or Shout Comment)! I promise you will get much much farther in life with me if you do this. Furthermore, please for the love of God himself in heaven almighty, DO NOT TRY TO CARRY ON A CONVERSATION THROUGH 100 DIFFERENT SUBMISSIONS OR JOURNALS!! Under no circumstances whatsoever is it funny or cute! It is absolutely annoying beyond all measure! I will not stand for it by any form or means! I may issue a warning for the first time. However, should that continue, I will assume that the individual in question is either trolling or a bot and have that nonsense shut down (blocked)! I can promise that I will not care about it one way or another.
With that said, my thoughts come to a close. I certainly appreciate any and all who have made it this far in reading what I had to say. Again, these are just thoughts that I felt compelled to leave out in the ether and wanted merely to make known to all. I'm not mad at anyone in particular by any means.
Thanks again to all who are reading this journal.
Love and Laughter, Always!
Sincerely,
Phantom
