I am mainly directing this to ~Emikodo as she may not have a full understanding of what artists are like.

Emikodo,

I would like to tell you about the way i, and many other artists work.

Please do not be offended as i have no intent to offend anyone.

The reason I don't take requests is because I don't have a proper setup to draw art that is of high quality, and i have no time since I have to go to school nearly every week, then I still have no time because i need to do jobs for my parents.

Many other artists will not take requests mainly due to either lack of equipment, lack of time or their work is of high quality, and they would rather be paid for their experience, instead of handing them out like flyers for all the public.

When I do take requests, I take them from watchers and people i talk to or have a strong connection with, but not people i rarely talk to or have no connection with.

Also, I feel that you need to do your own work more often, and not just get pics off the internet. Drawing fanart is legal, as long as you give credit to the creators. I feel you need to do a gallery cleanup and get rid of pics pulled off google and pics that use original art like Stock Images, as using anyone's art without permission is copyright infringement and you can get into lots of trouble with the law. Drawing fanart is acceptable, Ripping art off the internet without permission is illegal.

Yours Faithfully,

Darren AKA theloverofdrift.
