@LoloFennec So…was it cool of them? No. Absolutely not. Artists, do not do this. Would it have been worthwhile to chase them for $7 worth of work? Also no. I’ve decided to call it a tip and move on.
@LoloFennec I’ve had an artist ghost me once, but it was a $14 icon comm in which I’d only invested $7. They were also advertising these as emergency comms to cover unexpected bills. (1/2)
@dg_random I don’t and wouldn’t do it in a way that makes it an expectation because it’s not always possible for me, but I try to find little ways to say “thank you!” so they know they’re appreciated ^_^
@dg_random Only a little bit, wheeennnnn they let me 😂 I think I managed to slide a repeat client a bonus headshot once for donating to my ko-fi on top of commissioning me.
Y'all have no idea how beautiful of a surprise this was I'm tearing up ;;
I love this woman so so much, I can confidently give her all of myself^
I'm so incredibly lucky ❤️
@Alkraas_art I’ve taken advanced life drawing in uni and sometimes I sketch my OCs nude just *because*- none of my work is sexual. I agree that it’s all context specific! ^^
Idk if this opinion is hot or wrong
But imo I don't think nudity, especially in art is sexual? Nsfw, sure, I can agree. But the body isn't automatically sexual UNLESS you make the context/environment that way.
But nips, for example, aren't sexual on their own.
@Avi_the_phoenix Yes! It’s a lot better for your mental health, imo, though it’s still a thing I struggle with as someone who takes comms even infrequently. I’ve definitely responded to DMs at times I had attempted to designate as down-time before.
Reading the responses on this one, I’m starting to think it wise for artists to work office hours into their T.O.S. Full-time or hobby, make your line between commission work and the rest of your life as clear as possible to your clients.
Artists.
Y'all NEED to stop being "on-call" 24/7
I've made multiple posts about this in the past saying it's important for your OWN mental health but ALSO
I think once a month someone tries to message me about work on a weekend then is confused why I'm not answering. (Cont.)
I personally don’t have office hours in my Terms of Service (yet), but I have them on my Trello. They’re going to have to be updated after I start my second job at which point I think I’m DEFINITELY going to move them.

@Darpellet A friend of mine just slid this into one of my servers and it’s been keeping us entertained for the past 10-15 minutes.
Hope your day gets better!
