Was just sent this in a note on DA.  Here’s a bit of life advice- don’t treat art like it isn’t worth paying for.  It’s one thing to ask someone for a favor, understanding that you’re putting them out and that they’re giving you something, but it’s another thing to act as if the privilege of making art for your wedding is payment in and of itself.

As has been said by wiser artists than I, people die of exposure.

I get requests like this all the time on DA/elsewhere. They’re so beautifully stupid, I have to reblog other incidences whenever I see them.

That bitch is CRAY. Like, I am more than happy to create images for my friends for free, it doesn’t even phase me. But to form it as a ‘contest’ just…ugh. So much stupid, so disrespectful.
