First: lemme say that yes, I'm barely active these days and I barely post any journals unless something important is going down. So obviously, this journal is something important. And I want all of you to read every word of it.

Let's use an example first and say that you do something. You do something good, something that makes you feel happy, or maybe you slip up once in the smallest of fashions. We all make mistakes, right? We all take note of our flaws, we make up for it, or hell, we move on without doing anything. And guess what; no matter what good or bad we do, we forget about it and get on with our lives. It's the best we can do, because staying on a topic that doesn't matter gets us no where, and turns into a heaping waste of time.

I'm not going to name names,  but some of you may know of a select few artists who have been getting hate  and picked on for the littlest things. Not only, but some of these attacks have been going on for years. One of them has moved accounts several times. Another can no longer LiveStream for fear of slipping up and never hearing the end of it. One is getting hate and threats because their art is similar to another artist's style. Even worse, another is losing followers because they're drawing one fandom instead of the other. Conclusion? Thanks to you little pissbabies these people are wary of the things they love to do the most, all because some greasy-ass 12-year-olds think they're defending the world's greatest artist by picking on people who really did nothing wrong.

And in reality, who gives a shit? Yes, I care about people hurting my friends and annoying them to no end, but really. Who. Cares? Move on. Live your life. You sending threats to another person gains nothing from anyone. You're only putting a bad stamp on the people you claim to "fight for", hurting those to make yourself feel better, and honestly, wasting your own time.

And to be quite honest, I'm surprised I haven't gotten any shit these four years I've been on this dump of an art community. I've fucked up majorly, said some horrible things, hell, I'll admit that a few times when I first joined, I copied other artists style. Have I been attacked? Have people gathered to send threats? Nope. Not a single note or spiteful comment.

If this goes on any further, I'm straight up leaving. I hate the dragon community. I hate the fandoms and followers of certain dragon artists on here. I hate all of this. I'm gonna pack my shit and leave. Delete my account so no one can enjoy my art anymore. Hell, send me hate on this journal. You know damn well who I'm talking about, the artists who are treated like gods, spoiled like brats, and do nothing when their followers become out of control. Go ahead.

do your worst

For now, I'm only doing headshots, similar to the ones above. 
I will not do anything hardcore NSFW: no nudity, no gore, nothing triggering, etc.
The examples in the above reference are at least two years old, meaning that, obviously, my art style has changed, so please don't come crying if your commish doesn't resemble the above examples.

Wait until I say yes before you pay me, and don't barter with me when I give you the price.
