I don't have great conversation-skills myself. XD

I draw people who chat, and I draw people who don't. So, I'm kinda neutral.. eh?

So yeah, I'm reading your posts and think, "That's not true! XD" but then realized it ranges from artist to artist. :3
well of course it isnt true for all artist.
i mean i even stated when i do art freebies i do everyone
who comes in
so that means i do the
"hit-n-runners as well"
but a majority of them
don't do everyone who comes into the thread
and when you see the same people getting art in like 5 different threads
and you get ignored literally
you being to think oh
mines not good enough or they just don't care for someone they don't know.
i see it on all avatar sites.

Well, it would be a little hard to draw everyone if your art is in high demand? ^^;

But yeah, I understand. I've seen a few off-site threads where the artist only made the thread to chat; they never draw. I guess they're attention-seekers. ??

But still, freebies are freebies, and art is time. Time=not enough of. XDD
Heh, I don't know. >w<

imalso on
Anitari -only go there if you can handle lots of sarcasm
they can be brutal
Roliana
Gaia
Zantarni :but i cant remeber my log in XD
Avarica
Legend of Aura

and then there is
Subeta
its a pet site with forums [kinda like neopets]
im addicted to it XD

i go by the same name on all of them but Gaia its a different name

Chuck: yes i understand
but thats why i sometimes wish those who are
"in high demand" [which by the way i think sucks becuase
if your art isnt superfabuolous it getsignored and thats so unfair.]
would draw people they havent drawn before.
i see them redraw the same people over and over again
just for different events beucase they look different.

No thank you Annex. I'll probably have enough trouble just keeping up around here. I'd sign up for those places and forget they exist XD Two avatar sites is more than enough for me.

I'll have to check Neopets for stamps later. I haven't signed on there in a while XD

Neopets does have a ton of fun games, but it's not often that I just feel the need to play a game. When I'm online, I'm usually reading and I'll play the occasional game of pinball on Gaia. Mostly, I'm just reading or chatting or watching anime. ^_^;

Awww, don't be intimidated by freebies. ;__; Artists open threads like that because they want to draw them, silly. <3 <3
If it gets too much they'll just put in first post that they're not accepting anymore or something. That's what I do anyhow. <3

sometimes i just have these urges to play games XD
and tats why i play them XD
its quite odd XD

Lejic: ya but not all artist do it. and we understand why they open them
but sometimes some people just ignored.
and when it happens to you all the time
you feel scared about trying anymore.
fear of being rejected bascially.

i really dislike the ones that go
"i will only draw you if i like your avatar"

thats like a major stab to the person who get rejected becuase it
shows there avatr wasnt good enough and it sucks to some who have like
no items.

It's just nerve wracking if you're a shy person and you go into those threads. Especially when everyone chats like they know each other and everything's moving so fast. Even if the artist wants to do freebies, it can still be intimidating or frustrating or many things.

Oh an what about when all that you say seems so much different than what they are talking about when it's not. They just read or look over your post like it wasn't relevant!

feel like im bugging, which is why i dont go for the ones that are

Annex:omg do you know how any times that has happened to me XD

Art is such a weird thing - I hear horror stories from both sides. Artists being scammed out of their gold/money, artists who scam people out of their gold/money, evil commissioners, evil artists...
Complicated. *sigh*

Well, for what it's worth; every single really good artist I've know was incredibly kind. If they're rude like that, you don't need their art anyway. u_u <3

Oh and; the only time avatars are an issue, I think, is when they're overloaded. I personally never dislike drawing simplistic avatars since that's my style as well. I do usually ask people to take one or two things off if their avatar is too complicated though. >_>;


@For-Chan: Aww, I'm sorry to hear that. But, well, as I said to Nemui: All the good artists I know are kind and friendly so I think, if the art is good, your chances of being welcomed to the thread are higher.
That's one of the reasons why good artists' threads are filled all the time as well; because they're friendly and don't turn people down much.
Except, of course, in cases mentioned above: a.k.a. when they're rude. Then they're not worth your time anyway. D:

Well, I have to say one thing about the shy people, once you get them all together, they can really chat up a storm like we have! We're wavering in and out of the topic, but that's ok because we're making friends! Yay! \^_^/

It's ok Lejic, we like talking in here. We've all been bitten by the talkative bug.

I might try another freebie, but I've already tried one and not heard back so I'm a bit reluctant. I just feel weird about the whole thing. Of course, this is my last chance as the Jubilee will be ending soon. Oh noes! x_x
