Oops

So many text posts in a row! Dang. So uh, one of my professors did a crunch week to ‘catch up’ where we had to do two chapters in one week. That was rough, so I haven’t gotten to draw much. I’m working on drawing some stuff now though, and will post scribbles if nothing else soon. I’m also working on getting a characters page up that will link back to tagged posts. That should be pretty neat once it’s done.

Anything you guys are wanting to see, though?

Haaaaaaaahhh So apparently late last night my prof sent me an email to everyone that missed class on Wednesday to send us videos to watch before class today.

So I had 15 minutes to somehow watch an hour long video when I woke up this morning because she sent it late last night, after I had already gone to bed. x)

Welp I’ll be useless during discussion today. Probably just gonna doodle.

SCREECHING

If you just sent me mail, I need you to re-send it. ._. I just managed to mis-click and wipe my tumblr inbox, and evidently I cannot mail anyone I haven’t been following for who knows how long.

So ahh

Re-send please? Ahah

Hmm! I have some patterns and walls I’ve made for sims that I’ll try to finish up and post this week, too. 🙂 twin / sibling flavored stuff for wall colour transitions, mostly!

Hey!

Sorry for the lack in posts. :c I’m going to try to be more active! Ive been doing a lot of gaming with friends instead. Humn. I think I’ll work on getting myself a new theme this week. 🙂

The Realities of Furry Art Prices

I know this isn’t art, and I’m sorry, but bear with me. I thought it was worth sharing.

 “If you’re paying less than $100 per picture, try to keep in mind that you’re not paying the artist enough for their time to realistically live on.”

  I’ve delt with so many people saying I overcharge recently, when I don’t even price my shaded sketches over $20…

…when I make less than $3/hr for most of my work.

…and when I’m trying to pay my way through college, and there’s a LOT scholarships don’t cover.

I know this post is on the furry community and furry art prices specifically, but you can take the word ‘furry’ out and replace it with virtually any subculture, community, fandom, etc that there is. Let’s try replaying furry with ‘anime’ for a moment. Now, I’m not active in the anime fandom anymore. There is one anime convention in my state that I periodically go to as I can afford it. I haven’t attended in years. Unless the majority of the people that go to said convention have undergone a radical personality shift in the past three years (the last time I attended,) I can safely say that, assuming said convention is representative of anime fans as a whole, this same attitude is present across the anime fandom.

I’ve seen artists heckled for print prices, when they’re BARELY making back what they paid to have the prints made, let alone the initial time to make the artwork, and any profit they made at the end of the day is BARELY enough to pay back the costs of going to the convention, hotel fees, and food for the stay at the con. Many say they just want to break even so they can enjoy themselves…

…while stuck in a booth all day catering to whiny brats.
