Attention non-artists who commission artists: don’t fuckin do this???
Actually had someone do this to me too. Was doing a art stream, it took me over 2 hours to do his inked commission, he got a refund cause ‘it took too long’ that he figured I wasn’t going to do it after I gave him the file.
Don’t do this. Do not.
I’ve had this happen to me with a $350 comic :/ I had already finished it, it was full color, 6 panels and had a full bg in every panel. I was lucky in that I didn’t spend him money yet, but it left me without funds. I’ve also had the above happen to me as well.
Don’t do this shit to artists. We’re people too. Drawing for you is more than a hobby. It’s a job.
Use Paypal Invoices.
I cannot stress this enough. That shit helps A LOT when it comes down to Paypal refunds/disputes.
There’s a description box that let’s you put in what the product is/how long it’ll take/yadda yadda, and then there’s another little memo box that only you and paypal can see where you can say it’s a digital commission and doesn’t require shipping (So Donald Mcfuck can’t say that they never got their commission).
And there’s also a box for your Terms & Conditions where you can say, if you have any conflicts/want a refund - email me, or you can actually tell the user that this is a digital commission and they won’t be getting a hard copy of it.
ARTISTS. PLEASE USE PAYPAL INVOICES. it will SAVE you. And to: the people who do this to artists – Fuck you. It’s okay if you change your mind and want a refund. But freaking TALK to us and let us know what’s going on. Let us WORK with you.
ALSO A HUGE TIP: Invoices paid will automatically set up a shipping notice which, if not fulfilled, can land you in SERIOUS hot water with PayPal. Since a lot of artists don’t print and ship the commissions, this is a huge problem.
However! Totally manageable. Just go to your PayPal, scroll down to find Seller Preferences
>> Shipping Preferences
>> Display Ship Button. Make sure all the boxes are unchecked. Then you’re all set!
As a big supporter of artists, don’t you ever fucking dare fuck over an artist like that. Like don’t. And if they take their time to do a good job, don’t shit all over them for it! Don’t be a fucking ass hole. Just don’t. These people put a LOT of work and time and effort into their artwork. Just don’t be that guy. Often times these artists aren’t even getting what they deserve in compensation.
I am very grateful my customers have been good to me, but I’m spreading the word.
Very important!
As a new artist, I’m very grateful for this post. Never knew this. Thank you.
a/n: remember to reblog and let us know what you think. read at your own risk. thanks for reading. goodnight.
You let out an angry huff as you close the front door behind you, nearly kicking your shoes off into the wall. Anger and annoyance simmer beneath the surface from work, and all you want to do is scream in frustration.
“Baby? Is that you?” a male voice calls from further in the apartment.
You run a hand through your hair as you sigh, trudging out to the living room. “Yeah, it’s just me,” you reply, before stopping short in surprise.
On the couch you find your boyfriend, Joshua, and your friend, Vernon, right next to him. A quiet whine slips past your lips when you remember Vernon was coming over today. You really aren’t in the mood for company tonight. “Damnit,” you mutter under your breath.
Joshua’s eyebrows shoot up at your whine, watching as you pinch the bridge of your nose. “Everything okay?” he asks as he stands and crosses to you.
Another sigh leaves you as you nod and lean into his arms. “Yeah. Just a bad day. Sorry. I’m just not in the mood for company,” you tell him, shooting Vernon a tired smile.
Vernon shakes his head and immediately stands, looking apologetic himself. “No, it’s okay. I can come back another time.”
Joshua rubs your back lightly as he holds you, but shakes his head at the pair of you. “Sit down. Both of you,” he instructs, pushing you gently towards the couch.
“Joshua. Please. I’ll just go to the bedroom. You two can hang out out here,” you protest as Vernon slowly sinks back down into the cushions.
Joshua turns his body to face yours, reaching up to grip your chin with his thumb and forefinger. “Bedroom?” he asks simply.
Clan Leader Jiang, calm down. You’re only reacting like this because you found out your senior had been framed, and he saved you today. And recalling all the things you did all those years, you… That prideful heart of yours suddenly felt a tinge of guilt.
nothing I or anyone else can add can make it funnier that some movie production company announced a movie named ‘They/Them’ on twitter like it’s a mcu movie
I’m very concerned considering this company makes horror movies (that can be really hit or miss sometimes) so I’m worried about where they’re going with this…….
yo does anyone else feel CONSTANTLY guilty? like you’ve always done something wrong but you don’t know what it is?
Yes, and I’ve spoken to my therapist about it, who offered an explanation:
She says that people who from a young age were made to feel like they kept doing things wrong - people who’s parents had impossibly high standards for them, people who were bullied, people who have special needs, people who didn’t develop crushes on the “right” people, people who didn’t act like the “right” gender - basically ended up being made to feel guilty so much that guilt became their default response to everything. Guilt became the emotional response to anything which the person didn’t already have a set emotion for.
People for whom guilt is the default emotional response are also more likely to have low self-esteem, doubt their own experiences, and experience impostor syndrome. So, watch out for that too guys
