The horrors of art requests.
ReBlog this if something similar has happened to you!
See it’s this kind of attitude I get sometimes that makes me not want to give free art away. Common situations: 1. Person walks into your livestream (not a free request btw). “Your art  is really cool”. Me, “Uh, thank you.” Person, “could you draw etc” Me,”  … Fuck off.” 2. “I wont be able to make it to the stream can I just note you my drawing?” 3. “Could you draw this?” I draw it. Person leaves without a thank you. 4. “Could you fix this and that and this and that about this etc” .. No. 5. “When are you going to do free art requests again” *posted on my commission information list* 6. I post up an update that I am very fucking busy and have no time for  commissions and art streams. Person, “when you going to do free art  requests again?” The list goes on. Basically, please do not ask when I’m doing requests again. I always do  them spontaneously and I really don’t appreciate being asked EVERY  FUCKING TIME I update about something. Whether you mean to or not you’re  basically harassing me. And begging. Please stop. I’ll fucking stop  doing requests if this keeps up. So appreciate when a gift is given. Don’t ask for more after you were just handed something. Because that’s fucking rude.
