JAWC Volume 2 : Late update and Commissioners...

Okay... here goes...

What the fuck is wrong with people?.. I mean seriously, why the fuck can't people be more clear about things... I'm talking with one guy and he's basically asking for free art... like what the fuck!?... dude, just tell me what you want, don't make it sound like I need to come up with your idea for you... just tell me what the fuck you want for the commission, shit... I'm not here to draw sketch after sketch of free art so you can pick and choose what you want... you're not paying that damn much... I'm not charging uber prices but shit... have a little respect for the art monkey...

Then on top of that, he takes the fact that I usually wait for the person who's commissioning me to have the idea, as the need to be overly detailed... as if that's gonna make a difference... I'm asking for an idea... and he thinks it means an overly detailed description... like what the fuck!?... if you had nothing, just fucking confess, don't make it sound like you had a great idea and were waiting for me to do something... you didn't even fucking tell me how many characters are in the damn pic... ugh...

ANYWAY!!... he ends up emailing me this crazy description... which I'm going to have to charge more because it's dealing with some crazy bondage and pain theme... like motherfucker!... gah... and personally, I don't mind the detail, it's the fact that he's seemingly smug about it, asking if I can get it done in a month, as if there's a time limit that's needed before the furry world explodes...

Seriously... just a little bit of info would have been nice, not, "here's a pic for reference" and then send me on my way... wait... what about what the other characters are? and how should they be placed? are there anything I should be aware of like how many "whatever" I have to be vague cause it's a necessary evil... also, he wants me to use a character I drew back in 2003 to be in the picture... I don't know how I feel about that, cause it's my drawing that he wants in the pic... like... really?... geez.. it's kinda creepy knowing the guy doesn't want the pic on the net, but wants exclusivity to my character... not too cool...

Regardless... I'm gonna get going and respond to teh guy, explain the situation, and up the price cause this is a lot more work than a usual commission of a character..... guh.. just.. fuck... anyway, I still have to create another buffer for the comic as it's running out... I've been overly lazy andthat's not cool... so I'll be busy and hopefully I'll be opening commissions up officially come teh end of October... but eh, I dunno... sometimes I think it's easier to be the damn recluse... meh...

Welcome to it.
