>>>IMPORTANT NOTICE<<<
Although it has been a good run, I am no longer doing free requests. My reasoning behind this is that I feel my work is not used by many who request. I spend an average of one and a half hours on each one, yet many requestees go on and request from other artists after only a few days. Out of the 31 requests I have drawn, approximately 15 are actually used. Thus, I have decided to cease wasting my time for a useless cause. I wanted to do good for the community, but I think my efforts have been in vain. If you want to prove that my avatar is actually worth something to you, I am now accepting commissions only.
This is something that I never wanted to do, refused to do even. But now I see what people have been trying to tell me all along- I'm being used. With the recent increase of Minecraft artists in the community, I am no longer needed here. I find that many of the other artists are actually very arrogant when they have done nothing to prove themselves or their talents, and personally I consider them a disgrace due to their attitudes. Do not hold yourself higher than others because you think you can draw. Be humble, not boastful.
Furthermore, to the requesters who ended up not using my avatars:
I realize that it was a given. My avatars will not be used forever. However, to go on and use an avatar that had significantly less effort put into it is a stab at my pride. This really applies to most artists. To request on another thread after we draw you an avatar is the same as saying ours was not good enough. Some of us actually put time into these, work on every detail, redo each line. Yet you feel that you can throw our work away like it took us no time at all? Truly offensive.
My apologies.
