Lotsa cool people offering art for the art gods, commissions for the commission throne these days.
E: SHIT I reblogged the stupid truncated version. By all means, click through ‘cause this person’s art is SLAMMIN’.
Hey guys!
I thought I could open up commissions again, and so I whipped up a little post of what you can make me draw for you!
If you are interested in one of those two options just either poke me here on tumblr via a note, or write me an email to rinofner@googlemail.com!
I will do the commissions in batches of five, so you might have to wait a little while until I can work on your request.
I accept payment over paypal only!
Cheers,
Caboodle
Caboods is great! you should all hop on this gravytrain before it leaves the station.
Sometimes I like to rant.
Sorry if there are any typos. I didn’t bother to spellcheck this time.
I will reblog this all over my blog because it’s so true.
I don’t do reblogs here but this is a good exception.
a note to artists who think this is “the worst thing to say ever”:
- No
- It
- Isn’t.
People relate to new experiences, such as viewing a character for the first time, by contextualizing them with the old. NO ART EXISTS IN A VACUUM, AS DOES NO MIND. If you get mad at someone for expressing their honest, instinctual first response to a new experience, you’re basically getting mad at someone for how every neurotypical brain ever grown works, and for not being trained to respond otherwise. While you might be a special and unique snowflake, you cannot expect other people to be snowflakes, themselves, or to keen in on the fact that you are the one person in the world to have never been influenced, directly or by serendipity, by anything, ever.
And if you think your character is somehow unique enough to exempt it from this?
- It
- isn’t.
If somehow it is, then the viewer’s first response is most likely going to be a “huh”, because if there’s no way to contextualize it. Without context, and if the person has not been SPECIFICALLY trained to look beyond that, then there’s nothing to say. You’re going to get reactions like, “It’s a…. thing. How about that.”
Now, I ask you. Is “huh” a more beneficial response than “[this] remind[s] me of the babe”?
yeah
ok
except
nobody is arguing over whether or not a character truly is original or not
it is rude to say something like this to an artist
it really doesn’t matter if it was the first thing that came to your mind!! it’s not okay to tell someone you see on the street “wow you’re ugly!” just because it’s your “honest opinion”
it’s fine to think an artist’s character reminds you of someone else’s!! there’s nothing wrong with that! but you don’t need to tell them?
and, i don’t know, if you still disagree and think you should be able to say whatever insulting thing you want to anyone you want
well alright
but that just makes you an asshole tbh
I think this is a response that really needs to be addressed but i don’t want to stretch out people’s feeds with twelve feet of pedantic noodling, so if you have a lot of time and patience and if you so wish to spend both with me, please read my EXCESSIVELY LONG reaction to this here!
