Hey guys, just wanna promote my website. Its been up for a year but I recently updated it today. The updates probably wont go live for at least a few hours after this post goes out. Most of my links are on it.

Hey folks, sorry for the delay in content over the past few months. I want to pop on and state I am not dead but have been I've been kinda busy.

For starters, I built myself a new website to replace the one ran through Google Sites. It is currently a WIP since there is some unfinished or broken parts and I am planning to change stuff. Take a look at it, maybe offer reviews and maybe bookmark it if you want. The website is effectively my own little home place. On it, you can find details about my OC's characters I use and my lore. As well as that, I also have pages dedicated to listing assets and resources I use and credits to those who have helped me out with my content over the years.

Furthurmore, I have made a plan to close my Twitter by the turn of the new year, so I want to promote my Bluesky here. I will still be posting content to my variious art sites, but if you want to catch updates from me, that is the best place to go.

Should I?


*If you didnt get the memo, yes this was an april fools joke.*

At the start of the year I decided to reorganise some of my folders on my page. I thought they were a little cluttered before - I mean they still are but hopefully a little more tidy now. I ended up combining some folders together and I did some calculations. After 'trimming the fat' so to speak, I managed to get the folder count from about 49 down to 42. It might go back up in future with some other ideas I have in store but we shall see. Let me know what you think of the reorganisation.

Hey all, I want to say thanks to the many people who have been interested in asking about requests recently. That said, I want to set the record straight and to confirm that I am stopping doing free requests, at least publicly anyway. I was originally planning to was only stop until after Christmas/New Year, But there's a chance I may stop altogether (except for one-off occasions). I will be keeping them open to close friends only (and people I trust).

There are multiple reasons for this. One of them being that I want to prioritise my own projects and ideas. I have a backlog of stuff that I want to finish up.

Another reason, and I would argue a major one, is that I have experienced more than a few examples of people thinking they are entitled to my time and effort and only see me as a free workhorse. Dont get me wrong, I have more occasions where the requesters have been nice and fairly patient with me, with some awesome ideas to boot, but the bad ones... yeah not fun.

---

Here's a list of some scenarios which really stick out to me. I wont name any persons in particular but if they are reading this then they know who they are and I dont care.

CONSTANT PESTERING: Some cases occur where, once a request is noted, I am then constantly badgered for days (daily sometimes) on the status of the persons' request(s). This has gotten to the point where I have been tempted to and in some occasions requested payment to get these people to - just to be blunt - shut up!

JOIN & DITCH: Cases include someone joining my Discord server, making a request (or a few) and then ditching the server, never talking to me again, whether they receive it or not. One case included an individual who requested a comic who then left after I can only assume was me taking too long to complete it. Its still unfinished. Moving forward I make comics paid commissions when I open them due to taking so long

GETTING PUSHY: There have been moments where certain requesters will request content on a subject matter I either dont like or dont agree with and wont take no for an answer. Then follow up several days later with other ideas. There is at least two examples of this I remember.

Then there is this exchange I had with someone on DeviantArt one time (this was only a day after I told them I noted their request)
Them: Hey how's it going?
Me: Oh, hey everything is going fine, how about you?
Them: Oh sorry I meant my request
Whether its me or some other artist; Never... Ever... Do this...

---

Thats basically some of the examples I have in my head right now and yeah, these will probably be the reason I stop doing free requests altogether. Although I might reopen temporarily from time to time. I'm sorry if some of the stuff above makes me seem like an arsehole. Just wanted to get this off my chest.

Hello, its true to say I havent been having the best of it lately. I have had to create an entirely new Google account and with it a new channel as my old google account has been left in limbo thanks to losing my primary form of two-factor authentication. So for this I have had to completely remake my channel and am slowly reuploading my stuff. On the bright side, you will get to see stuff I never got the chance to upload in the coming two weeks. Enjoy.
