Commission work resumed! Draw stream sometime this week.

Since my tablet will be out for at least a week, I wasn't able to earn my usual weekly stream money. I'd like to offer 3 pages of comic at $80 (it'd usually be $120) so I can have some cash this week. They'd be done before the end of the year, but likely much sooner. Obviously previously taken commissions will be done before this one. Taking two.

1.  caliburman
2.  melangetic

Luckily  laplacier has offered to fix it! Little delay on commissions.

Friday niiight!

Uh huh!

Often I get folks saying "What are you comfortable drawing?" when they want a commission. Usually I just tell them it's easier just to tell me what they'd like and I'll yay or nay it. Figured I'm long overdue for a list, and will also make this the new pinned commission queue post!

I managed to get the USB working. So tentatively going to stream tonight at 8PM Eastern barring it breaking again.

Sorry had to cancel, left a wire needed for my tablet at someone else's house. :/ Hopefully tomorrow.

Trying to get a copy of Link's Awakening for Switch, so I'm taking a discounted comic page slot - two pages for $60! Keep in mind the pages shouldn't have more panels than this piece, as an example: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/30378934/ and be SFW.

Note me if interested!

Been awhile!

This is not a new story. In fact, it's going to be turning a decade old.

But I sit and get mad a lot over my own stupidity in regards to it. More so, I get mad I didn't say something in public when it happened. Now it's so long past it'd be considered stirring up drama to bring it up. If you've followed me on Twitter you may know the more specific details as I have mentioned it there, but I'm going to post a redacted version here.

Mainly, my point is, if you don't feel like reading my rambling: Do not forgo your comfort just because someone can draw well. Do not let them manipulate you. Do not overlook behavior you wouldn't tolerate otherwise. Don't let them get away with treating you and others shoddily.


Long ago I was online friends with a very popular furry artist. Basically they started watching me, commenting on my work, and I loved their style and felt so flattered! Someone so popular and talented was giving me attention! This led to me attending their streams, and eventually they even made me a mod. They'd draw my character all the time and make me feel important.

At the time, I wasn't comfortable with Pie in sexual situations. At this point I don't care because frankly I can't control who draws what so why even bother trying? I don't see her as a sexual character personally so it just comes off as silly to me.

Now, this person's art is almost always sexual in one way or another. But at first they didn't draw Pie in any way I'd object to. Slowly, however, they started 'testing the waters', so to speak. They'd start trying out things and see if I'd let them do it. One piece I didn't even really realize was very sexual until later, and I was so mortified. I made sure this person understood I didn't like this. But at one point they basically said to me "If you don't let me draw porn of Pie I probably won't draw her anymore."

I know. I know. A smarter person would have said "Yeah okay, bye creepo." at that exact point. Because the fuck? See, this is why I get angry about it still. Me today would not have tolerated that shit and made a big, loud fuss about it. Around this same time I'd caught wind of their ... obsession with exes of theirs. Exes they still tried to contact in spite of all signs pointing to the ex not wanting them to talk to them anymore. They would still draw art of this person, even. It was a huge red flag.

So I tried to 'leave' them. I stopped going to their streams, I unfollowed them on FA. I was going to do what my gut had been telling me to do. But ... I missed the attention a little. I missed the streams. I hate to admit it now because WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK, PIE? But I slipped back into their streams and rewatched them. They messaged me shortly after with a thinly veiled threat about 'believing rumors' about them. I regretted it instantly, but stuck around for more time.

Eventually, someone who actually was a good friend to me ... I guess I can say since she's passed: I miss you  kayla-la. But Kayla was an amazing person. She was always so kind to me. I respected her opinions. She said to me, "I don't really understand why you're friends with them. You don't seem like the type of person to suffer fools gladly."

I realized she was right. I wasn't respecting myself. I wasn't being me. I had nothing in common with this person, conversations with them generally made me feel uncomfortable and frankly the person themselves didn't have much substance to them aside from that. They could draw and ... that was about it.

I made up an excuse. I said something shitty they'd done recently was the last straw. If I were going to do it all over again I would've just said the real reason. But I blocked them. It was done ...

... or so I thought.

You see, the next time I went to Anthrocon they'd apparently tried to get someone to take photographs of me, knowing very well how much I dislike my appearance and had a phobia about that sort of thing. Thank goodness they sucked at reading people and asked someone who had a conscience and wasn't about to do something like that just because they could draw well. I also caught wind of some other unpleasant things they were saying. It all confirmed I'd done the right thing. This person didn't actually care about me, or like me. I'm not sure they're honestly capable of caring about anybody. I was just a commodity. Just a character.

Now and again I still run into art this person made. There's not much I can do - it's the internet. But I can use my story to make others think about what they put up with from who and why.

Thanks for listening.

ETA: Thank you everyone replying with their own stories and kind words. I don't always reply but I read every comment.

I haven't done one in what, over a month?

Haven't been feeling 100%. Maybe this week.

For various reasons I won't be using it!

If you're so inclined to give a tip, please use my Kofi instead: https://ko-fi.com/A7342Y1B

Midnight eastern as usual. See you there!

Liiiittle different this week!

Hi everyone. Various factors have lead to me not getting much art done lately. If I owe you a commission and you’d rather not wait, please do contact me for a refund. This is always an option with me. Thanks.

What the title says!

Midnight eastern time if you've never been!

Down to one so feel free to PM me for commissions.
