I hate when people who are JUST commissioning me or who like me only for my art think that i am their friend just because i am speaking friendly to them. No, you give me money, i give you product, and thats it. Is coca cola your friend? No. You give them money, they give you product. Thats it. Unless you legitimately peak my interest farther than a customer, i do not wish to be friends with people that merely commission me. You consuming of my art does not make me your friend, and vice versa. We can have a mutual respect, yes, but we are only friends if our relationship goes beyond commissions. So people who ask for requests who are not friends of mine will be shut down, unless you are able to peak my interest. This is a precaution i have because of people using me for art and pretending to be my friend just so they can get art, and i am done tolerating it. This is also because art is my only source of income besides disability, and if i were to consider everyone who commissioned me or liked me only for my art a friend, id get flooded with requests, and i am too empathetic to say no to someone who i consider a friend, so id rather play it safe. You are not entitled to my friendship or art, you get to view it here for free. If you want something specific then pay me. I don't do this shit for charity, and if you don't like that then blacklist me :) call me greedy, call me a raging capitalist or what have you, but i am a person just like you, and i have shit i need to pay for. These are just a few of the things that have been said to me regarding my art, by the way. Once charged a dude 5 dollars (5. Fucking. Dollars) for some art and he sent me an image of 5 dollar bills (he didn't pay), spammed me with porn, and then said he was going to kill me if i didn't give him his art. So the image isn't even the tip of the iceberg lmao
