I actually don't mind it at all when it's friends. When it's random people... yes. I do mind. Who are you?

yes :1

i have met so many people who are like "oh hi we've just met can you design me a tattoo"

lmao

YEAH

and they want it like. RIGHT THEN. at the party we're at

im like no thank you i am trying to have fun??? commission me later

this has actually happened more times than i can count on my fingers

the ONLY times i dont care is when its, like, a little kid who is all " can you draw me...."

and im like aww

lmfao the worst is when people would come up to me at school that i had met through various things

and would be like "So how much are your commissions?" and I was like

"Like $5 for a sketch, $7ish for color, nothing too expensive." and they would be like oh............

bitch fuck off, that is bargain basement, kiss my fucking ass

lmao god i expect a lot of my comissions because i do them for like...

publishing things most of the time....

right?

I don't mind cheap shit for some random kid's RP character if they're not gonna be super bitchy about it, but...

yeah

if we put many hours into a cheap commission? yeah, we're getting money, but we're still getting fucked for our time!

like people do not realise that, hey, while we are working on their art, nothing else is getting done elsewhere??

that is our pay for that time spent

right???

lmao sorry i can go on about people respecting the time and work artists put into things for hours

and that our shit isnt free and it shouldnt be an inconvenience to them because, hey. THEY cant do it. they're coming to us for a reason

huff huff !!!!!

no, dude, i understand completely

i get even worse when i talk about pricing my crocheted pieces

hats, scarves, and even the stuffed animals i make because

often just the materials wind up costing me like 30$ how the fuck am i supposed to profit or afford to make more if

people want a set of things for 20!!

Right?? seriously, yarn that isn't shitty is expensive, and crochet is TIME CONSUMING

it is a series of little knots that you managed to turn into a fucking hat. DO YOU REALIZE HOW MUCH TIME THAT TAKES AHUGDFH';

yeah. and i cant bring myself to sell shitty itchy yarn unless someone like explicitly requests a certain brand

and even then, thats hard for me to work with because it is fucking awful to touch!!

i like touching nice yarn while i work gdit

;o; yes i know. red heart super saver is awful for example

yes :1

admittedly one of their green rolls is pretty nice and i like to use it, but thats it
