Albert: [And with more of a tendency to capsize.]
regardless though if people had their own problems with art that they've commissioned from me, they could've blatantly addressed me and asked me to change what was wrong. dear, i encourage people to talk to me privately about their own pieces. i hope you understand fully that it states in my terms and conditions of my commission page on FAZ that:
"if you are highly dissatisfied with the final piece once you get it, feel free to message me asking for alterations and i will do my best to fit it to your liking."
[link]
why didn't these people you speak of personally approach me regarding their dissatisfaction with their commissions? there are only a few people who have seriously (and nicely, mind you) messaged me back after i showed them my sketch asking for alterations. in the end, i edited the piece until it was up to their satisfaction.
it is not my loss that these so called people who feel like they've been ripped off stood there as i handed it to them, took it, and walked away shaking their heads. it is their loss. of course.. they all read my terms and conditions, right? because right now, i doubt it. so i'm taking their current dissatisfaction as a.. poor excuse for not bothering to talk to me. i am only willing to change if they are willing to tell me what's wrong with their piece.
people who trade with me on the other hand are also encouraged to contact me if they are dissatisfied with the half that i completed. why hasn't anyone bothered to tell me that they didn't like the half they received? i do not know. because if they did, i would change it. why is it that when i give people my half, they all say something along the lines of "ohh nice, thank you"? so you're telling me that i've been lied to by all these people?
that all these dissatisfied traders have absolutely no courage at all within themselves to tell me that they dislike what they got? c'mon now. the first step to solving a problem is stating it. it seems here to me that these people neglected to.
i hope you and everyone understands that in the end, it was their responsibility to speak up for their disapproval.
and as a sidenote, i find it rather foolish that you've come to me anonymously and i don't see a reason as to why you did.. to me, it seems like you're hiding.
anyways. i think i've proven my point here and you have yours (you just continually imply that i'm greedy and you are just reeling in other people's problems to back up yours [it's not working]). i do not feel the need for us to continue this conversation any longer.
Speak for myself? What is this even remotely supposed to mean? I am speaking for myself, I am the one typing this message to you directly. Do you see anyone speaking for me (I don't)? Do you see me shamelessly hording free art and boasting about it? Nope. Do you see my being a hypocrite in any manner? Nope.
Please don't try to enlighten me about TGT, I know about TGT, and I was once upon a time staff at TGT. I know about your free art thread and I know when the forums were refreshed resulting in your thread being deleted. Years ago. How is TGT for you now? Oh, that's right, you're banished. I haven't seen you do shit for the Furcadia Art Community since that, and that says something about your character as a person. It shows you're spoiled and bratty. The issue isn't you get free art. Again the point was you take but don't return the favor. Then you have the nerve to park yourself and brag to friends about how you never paid a dime for any of this artwork. How do I know this? You stupidly took me as being your friend and told me it.
While you might believe this is a one man crusade, I hate to be the one to inform you it is not. Even to my own amazement I received several notes on dA after my posting of people who agreed with me. They claimed they felt trades were unfairly balanced in what they produce and what they received. For the sake of privacy I'll keep names out of this. Here is my favorite one (thus far):
"I commissioned her before and received a sketch where I wouldn't even be able to tell where one character started and another began if she hadn't have done them in different colours. She doesn't give anything back to the community what so ever, and is just rude, ungrateful, and all around, a hypocrite."
Again the point isn't that I don't like Mystica, and it's not that I don't like you as a person. The point revolves around you being greedy. You had once put on your dA, "Trades closed, unless I ask you." Unless you ask us? Meaning basically you only target good artists who you want artwork from and in exchange give them some slobby half-assed sketch. So take all your artwork, ports, digos, and sit on your mountain alone. Now you're gone from the Tether and all that you worked so hard seems rather pointless now, huh?

bitch you got called and you know it.
"Apparently not, because like the fat kid I am sure you are, you continually hop aboard mooching away at free artwork."
i have to say that before you make your inane assumptions, you should do your research first. i'm sorry, but the fact that you obviously didn't (more so didn't do enough).. really clenches my guts. annnndd please do not assume that i am fat because, frankly, it's only making you seem the more insolent. if you're going to express your concerns about me in an civil and orderly fashion, gripping onto an insult that a seven year old uses isn't really helpful in supporting your verdict.
when i first started drawing, i did countless pieces of art for other people. if i could, i would link you to what used to be my free art thread on the TGT forums. since then, the forums have been cleared of many of their inactive threads. regardless though, it was a fairly large thread and i took quite the amount of rounds of requests. yes, some people did take more than one slot. they did choose to come back even for a beginner like me at the time. i'm sure there are plenty of people out there that if you asked, would confirm that i did in fact give out lots of free art. lo and behold, even on dA i gave away free art, and still plan on continuing to.
once again, i urge you to do more research.
if you're curious though, here is the TGT forum: [link]
of course, my old thread does not exist.
"You think perhaps after more than one hundred pieces of artwork you could politely pass on free artwork and allow someone less greedy to receive something (and actually be grateful for it)?"
please speak for yourself. it is ridiculous for you to tell me what you think i'm feeling. i appreciate every single interpretation of mystica that i'm proud of having received and i show no shame or remorse in saying so.
"It’s your depressive sketches you shit out in less than five minutes compared to what you receive by an actually talented artist. I honestly can’t help but almost want to apologize to these artists trading with you for the absolutely garbage you toss out to them. It’s not the best you can do. Instead it’s the best you choose to do. I can really only hope one day you’ll look at your mound of artwork and realizes it means absolutely nothing to anyone. That you wasted the time of good artist’s and in return gave them a five-minute sketch with a copy & pasted background."
once again, i must stress the fact that you should speak for yourself. i can see that you want to be the bright spokesperson and representative of everyone that i have done trades with and everyone who i've done art for. bringing what appears to be your conclusion of my work and claiming that EVERYONE feels the exact same way is completely inappropriate. i understand that you do not like my art, not everyone will.
and of course, i certainly understand that you do not like mystica too. i've never forced anyone to like her or do art for her. i'm allowing you to slander her design all you want - i am that understanding. no, i will not slander you character in turn or bad mouth you. i'm free and considerate towards YOUR opinion, not what you claim is everyone's.
if i may though say this for perhaps the hundredth time:
do some more research and speak for yourself.
Recently Ive been browsing the artwork galleries on Furcadia Art Zone and gave across a startling discovery. You think perhaps after more than one hundred pieces of artwork you could politely pass on free artwork and allow someone less greedy to receive something (and actually be grateful for it)? Apparently not, because like the fat kid I am sure you are, you continually hop aboard mooching away at free artwork. Amazingly though youve never given back to this community that has benefited you so much, have you?

I understand this is free art. I understand many of these artists simply opened their commissions to simply practice, and were gracious enough to give something free to others. The problem is the system is youre greedy, Linda Wong. You toss your name out for free artwork, but why is it you have never made a thread and returned the favor? This behavior only quenches my prediction that you were nothing more than a selfish brat. You endlessly, and publically, have boasted about how you received all this artwork and never paid anything. So I hope youre awfully happy with the choices youve made.
Its not the wide collection of artwork that bothers me. Its your depressive sketches you shit out in less than five minutes compared to what you receive by an actually talented artist. I honestly cant help but almost want to apologize to these artists trading with you for the absolutely garbage you toss out to them. Its not the best you can do. Instead its the best you choose to do.
I can really only hope one day youll look at your mound of artwork and realizes it means absolutely nothing to anyone. That you wasted the time of good artists and in return gave them a five-minute sketch with a copy & pasted background.
