I’ve heard the legends of the guy who went “Well, you sure have time to reply to my messages, so you should have plenty of time to do free art for me!” and “If you don’t have the time, you should just quick your job to draw full time to do my project! Also still a ‘collab’, not a commission, so I ain’t paying you!”
Never thought he was still around and kicking, until he decided to start bothering me on why I wouldn’t just join his ‘collaboration’ without grilling me for saying no and putting words in my mouth by twisting things I reply with and ignore my actual reasoning. You know, beyond not having any obligations to say yes no matter reasons.
Man, was a ride. Had fun just to see how far he would go but eventually stopped poking me. Oh well.
Man, even his profile is rich about the size of his ego.
When he stopped replying I figured he was done and moved on. But turns out the Dude McDudesome had some more hot takes to share after all!
Hot dang.
I ain’t replying to him anymore. Not cuz I’m offended or anything. Is just starting to get more sad than funny.
Oh well.
holy shit the entitlement of this guy. artists dont even NEED a reason to deny making something.

Why doesn’t he just give money? That makes me wonder if he’s unemployed and has no financial independence, so the only way he can get any drawings is to get desperate.

Notice how they’re not actually saying “Yes, I am going to pay you.”
Also, you don’t have to give them some excuse like health issues and give them some reason preventing you from doing it and justify it. You can just say you don’t want to. You don’t even have to say that much; you can just say no.

Why on earth did you give this person the privilege of having their name hidden? You really aught to let other artists be aware so they can block him preemptively.

You have a lot more patience than me, Puffy. I definitely would’ve stopped after the first mention of medical reasons for not committing to a collab. Any response from them other than “Oh, sorry to hear about that” is a huge red flag. Keep it up and they’ll have to saint you or something. Saint Puffy, patron saint of cigars and protection from internet trolls. ;)
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
