eigaka: chazore: eigaka: Okay, this is a good example of what you shouldn’t say under any circumstance. @areyoyanimations you clearly dont know how this works. I pick the most appealing and interesting characters for me, since I enjoy drawing them, and the final priduct has way more quality. Its overall a more enjoyable experience for everyone. If you dont agree with the disclaimer then move on, there are a lot of artists out there aside from me. So in the end, I am on a position to be “picky”, as you say. Problem with this line of thought, is that while *you* want to be comfortable, your turning multiple paying customers away, in turn leaves an impression on them. They then have just as much choice to go elsewhere with their money, and keeping that impression with them, can also net you a future loss from that consumer. If you don’t care about losing paying customers, more power to you, but if you do care, at least show it when you do (not directed at you alone btw). I just find that by turning paying customers, who admire your work away so easily, then forming a fan mob (because I’ve seen this happen with every single popular artist over the net, and yes it’s even happening right within these reblogs of this OG post) to make them out to be ungrateful, just assures you a permanent loss of not only a fan, but someone who wants to give you money for something they admire. That and when you lose that customer, some other artist gains them instead, effectively netting one more than you gained. The more that cycle continues, the more someone else earns, and the more popular they become. Just like any other industry and business, you turn someone away and don’t give them the time of day, you lose them to someone else who will, and chances are high that that paying customer will form a loyal consumer bond with that artist/business. I’m not telling you what to do (before anyone even tries to cram that down the throat), I’m just pointing out that acting in that manner, doesn’t come off as someone who was comfortable in the first place. I love your art, always have. I love what you do and it hurts me to see you when you’re down, but I honestly feel bummed out when you feel you need to pin someone to a cross for a lynch mob to come by and feather/tar them. I see this all over tumblr every day, and it depresses me at times to see it happen. Keep your chin up and doing the good work that you do eigaka. This is a very well structured response, and I agree, but the matter here is that im not kicking the potential costumer, im just telling them that i’m not interested on the offer, as simple as that. Its not like I’m going “THIS OC IS GARBAGE FUCK OFFF AAAAAAAAAAA!11!!”. I analyze the characters and the whole idea and see if it’s worth working on it, taking in count my curent skill level, strenghts, and preferences. Imagine if someone comes to me and offers me to draw for example Elizabeth from bioshock, and another person who offers me to draw Patricia wagon from mighty switch force. There are some clear differences between the characters, and one fits better my style and general preferences, and in consequence the patricia drawing would have more quality put into it for all of the reasons I explained. But yeah, as a last thing, this is not a mob lynch in my opinion, this is something that is seen as disrespectufl for the freelancer art comunity, wich is a bit differnet from the legit proffessional one. -- source link
