There's some dude who favorites pictures of peoples OCs and when they go to his page to thank him he asks if they'll draw his... I was an unfortunate victim and recently he asked me if I'd draw some more characters for him... I mentioned that if he wanted me to draw his characters (that he never gave me a clear reference for), he'd have to pay...
He responded with 'we'll see' and I haven't heard from him since.
One time when I was on Hatena (here I go again with my "Hatena stories"
There wasn't no report button back then on there, so I ask if he could remove it...and he did (thankfully without cussing me out). I mean just cause somebody do a request for somebody else doesn't mean that there requested picture is now there's. I don't mind if they use there requested picture for a icon or using it as a "thank you", as long as they give credit (how hard is that, kiddies??). The artist is the person who toke out there time just to be nice to there fans. But goodness, some of the artist's fans gotta be immature, beg, and steal stuff.
This is the main reason why I don't do requests.
There was one instance a few years ago when I had to close requests because slots were filled and one person asked for them despite that I clearly stated they were closed. I tried to clarify saying that I was going to make a new journal once they were open again. Then I got a note 4 months later by that same person who yelled at me for not making her shit despite that I told her requests were closed.
The irony was that I was being generous and squeezed in a spot because I didn't know how to say no, silently drawing her character but not updating my list. After that note she sent me I just threw away the drawing and she didn't get shit. It sounds mean of me to do but that type of treatment is uncalled for when it comes to someone doing a drawing for you for free.
If you are the type who yells at a person asking for a request despite that you clearly stated you don't do them, I will say right now that you have my condolences. I don't care how rudely you respond ether and I am usually the type who avoids conflict.
I don't even fucking complain when I never get my commissions.
I'm literally currently waiting on like 5 commissions that I paid for and they never even got back on me about it..
