Again, on requests

Sat Jul 12, 2008, 10:01 AM
Apparently some folks out there just don't seem to understand that I'm not an artwork machine for them to abuse, nor take over in any way. I don't take requests, and have not done so for years. Some may not know this, or just have no decency in them not to demand things from every artist they see.

Lately I've been getting everything from shouts, to notes, to comments on my art basically telling me to drop what I'm doing and start drawing comics/art/series featuring X theme and Y characters. I keep telling these people to bugger off, but a few of them just wait a few weeks and come up with another insane request. I'm not sure if some of them just don't understand what the hell I'm saying, or if they have no idea why I wouldn't just bend over and give them what they want.

So yeah, a reminder. I don't bloody take requests. I draw what I want, and when I want to. I'll likely draw friends I know most often, and I might even consider requests from them. But we bounce art off each-other all the time.

And no, that doesn't mean you can grab your crayons, vomit colors all over some paper, and suddenly I owe you art. People have already tried that before with me, and it doesn't float.

*edit*

And just sending the same request a few hours later after I've already told you no won't get you a different reply. This means you, Inflationartfan. Go away.

That's why I stick to gift arts. But, I can understand why you say that.
:icontombfyre:
Yar. If you're giving art to other people, they may just want to give something back. Its better than holding out your hand and making demands.

I complety agree with you. I see people giving requests here and there. And they cant understand that we have lives too. SO THEY SHOULD JUST BUG OFF!!!! Or I'll have to get in there. *growls*

Life is a short bumpy rollercoaster.

Just make sure you ride it a million times with your hands up. :XD: It should be fun.
:iconrenegadeskunk:
True. But, I just draw for the hell of it. Of course, to avoid confrontations, I make sure it's cool for me to draw their character.
:iconthe-fat-red-dragon:
I think I know one of them, but I'm not as if there was only one begging for you to draw.

In retrospect, not all fantasy characters have to be brave heros rescueing people from unspeakable evil.
I, sadly, realized it too late.

There's always more than one.

Yep, the moment you start taking them, the art-whores flock down on you.
