Today, I just wanna talk about those artists who make commissions. Not to criticize the fact they are doing commissions or their prices, business is business. Even if some are hiding more things behind "business" than they should.
Nope, I'll be talking about those almighty artists who think "If you're good at something and you're doing it for free, you're just a whore."
To those people, I'll just wanna say to never ever show their faces to me. And if they use DA to pay their bills, should they fail to, so they understand some little things.
This isn't targeted to one or two artists, but more. Not the first time I read this line, but it was the last one needed for me to burst.
For the other artists, the "humble" ones, I'll just say keep going. Remember than helping a friend for free is never a loss, and that drawing for pleasure is what should be your main goal. Money is nice, money is needed in such time of crisis, but if money is your goal, you're gonna lose your artistic freedom. Which would be quite despicable.
I may be foulish, I may be dumb, but just don't kill yourself for money. That'd make you sillier than me.
