Yes.
I'm angry. Fuming. Disgusted, and i never
EVER thought i would have to write a journal about this subject like this even tho this has been a problem (for me at least) for a good 2 years now ( actually ever since i made this new account) but recently the amount of this problem has doubled. After starting to draw art for various ARPG:s such as Stryx, Kukuri, Vayron etc. I have received awful amount of messages telling me
WHAT I REALLY SHOULD BE DOING. Because apparently ARPG artwork is not ART, and it is NOT personal art, it is just me being lazy,
"i don't like watching you draw these things draw something else"....
Do not get me wrong. Please do send messages. But also, Please do THINK WITH THAT BRAIN OF YOURS when you write them.There are many things we artists tolerate when it comes to people not thinking when they come and approach us with their messages yet most of them really are harmless and even THESE messages every now and then are NOTHING. When i was on my
Vooron account, i had no such problems even tho i know there are people who mostlikely did not like what i drew. Those people also decided to not watch me when they did not enjoy what they saw. That is fine and fair. That is what you should be doing if you do not enjoy someone's art. But yeah.
Here are the breaking news for those still thinking otherwise and did not get the message:
> ARPG creatures and work i make for them is ART.
> ARPG art is BUSINESS for me.
> ARPG art IS personal.
> ARPG creatures are OC's just as any other character i have.
I do not need anyone here telling me what they do not want to see. If it really is that much of a problem, you do both of us a great favor by just unwatching me and going for some other artist that delivers the stuff you want to see (for free) OR -
and this is the option i have been giving all of you when you come to me tell what i should be doing - You approach me with money in your hand, commissioning me to do whatever the fuck it is you want me to do.
In short:I can draw what you want. Just commission me to do so.
In another cases, i will continue drawing what i want, when ever i want.
Thank you very much for reading and Happy holidays for everyone.
