Anniversary, Updates, and Cessation of Freebies
5 years ago
Not all who wander are lost.
I had my one-year anniversary with my SO Iron recently! It was lovely, and I had a lot of fun being disconnected from the internet for a while.
My art schedule is going to be all over the place as I consolidate what I want to draw over what I think needs to be drawn.
As a notice, I will no longer be running Superfree Sunday streams. I feel the expectation was for a free, colored commission. Those are not available, and it stressed me to no end to constantly correct well-meaning folks that I was not working for free, the price of the piece was staying in the stream and socializing, but I would not be able to do fixes, changes, and other major thematic shifts for any piece.
That said, tipped work in streams will still be open, as well as coms. From now on, unless you have a Token (Tracked by me personally by username) or I owe you work, no one will receive free work in my streams. Instead, any Sunday streams will be stream of thought, fun stuff I want to draw, warmups, and occasionally themed adopts available at the end of the stream unless someone pays. Tips have to be at least 1USD, but Ko-Fi asks for $3. Don't ever tip for work before your turn, because slots aren't guaranteed depending on what I'm doing.
This has been a very hard choice for me to make, as I really want art to be accessible to everyone regardless of where they are in life/money-wise. I can't be a therapist and I can't work for free without having to constantly re-state my boundaries in ways that are stressful for me. In many streams, I've had to re-link the rules for every new person who joins. I've had to have mods remove people PMing me with heart-wrenching stories to guilt me into work. I've had people dump their mental health problems in the chat, their personal projects to advertise, dozens of references with completely different angles, lighting, and anatomy. I've had blatant, constant violations of my rules and TOS, and I just can't handle it in a way that is fun for me, and a big part of what I want out of my free streams is to be fun.
Thank you so much for reading, your support, and viewing my art. I appreciate it immensely. Feel free to leave comments and feedback. -Dragocorn
