I am once again tapping the sign that reminds you that people are allowed to do things, have hobbies, make art, play games, and be bad at them.

Capitalism requires you to be a good at a thing or not do it. Ableism requires that. Racisms requires that. Just let people fuck around with paints or w/e

This is why I do invoices and put “digital file”, with “no address needed”, and “allow tip”. I had one well meaning person years ago put something like “dickandballs” or something silly. Didn’t get got for it but ya. Be safe y’all’s, do invoices!

This is a warning to every artists and clients using PayPal: Leave the note blank or send invoices. Apparently even saying "commission" makes them trigger happy. #SaveSpeech #StopPaypros

And continue the pressure by calling PayPal. Helpful link here: anti-censorship-campaign.carrd.co#phonescript

"Using reference is cheating, Tracing photos is cheating...."
Some people are constantly competing with other artists, and it REALLY shows.
Do we need to remind you that this is NOT a competition? Everyone has its own struggles.
Just don't steal other people's art, claiming it's yours and we good

... I guess because I've never had a dedicated style or flavor I draw in its really hard to promote general commissions for anything because I'm not known for anything in particular that I know of.

Yeah it kinda sucks that everyone has to cater to the largest audience in the US so if things go bad there everyone is kinda screwed xD I've been in the community 10 years and I've never felt it this bad.
I've always had worse luck with like ychs and stuff so I kinda stopped making them..

Skye @skyehusky.bsky.social · 28d

I appreciate you saying that ;3; it just feels bad and I just dont want to have to discount my prices again to get a bite but maybe I'll have to just feel like I'm underselling myself for a while to get some interest back..
