Dujo preparation! #dujo #studyblr

Hello everyone! This is my new art blog, for my personal work, and also personal posts! So, I’m sort of a new artist to tumblr, even though I’ve been on tumblr a long time owo

This is my introductory post!!

ABOUT ME

Name: Alise aka. Zephbir

Age: 20 years

Drawing since: The beginning of time! Even though I’ve only recently begun to actually try and improve my art.

Likes: Chocolate smoothies, animals (horses, wolves, dogs, otters, and raccoons especially), sweets of all varieties, roleplaying and writing, trying to improve myself, and anatomy! (It was my best subject in school, besides art)

Dislikes: Scary stuff! Oatmeal, most processed meats (sausage, hot dogs, hamburger), and trying to think of things I dislike!

MY NEW BLOG, I WILL NO LONGER BE USING BIRDYSMILES

If you are a mutual, or just want to follow me still and support me, feel free to come visit! I’m still setting it up (so the theme is still under works), but it will be focused more towards my self improvement instead of humor (or whatever this blog is..)

THANKS!

if you’re an artist and you survive off of your commissions, never ever ever

EVER

agree to take payment after you do the commissioned piece. There are other options like doing 50% up front 50% after. Or just go the safest route and firmly state you only do 100% upfront.

Please, as a commissioner you can GET A REFUND through paypal if you get screwed but if you’re an artist and you work for free well!!!!!!!!!! you’re shit outta luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!

please never agree to 100% after the piece is done.

Yep yep. I don’t accept payments for commissions, it’s up front or I will not even start it. I do accept payments for large originals I did on my own, since those tend to run in the thousands, but not for commissions. I think about it this way. Generally commissions are pretty specific to the person hiring me (their oc, their pet dog, etc), so the chance of me being able to sell it afterwards if they don’t pay is usually considerably less than normal. So not only would I be eating the material cost myself, but I would be stuck with a painting that I can’t sell either.

Some points to remember as an artist who is getting harassed over content:

The Harasser probably isn’t an artist, otherwise they would just make the content they wanted to see, and would understand art and artists enough to know that content controlling is bullshit.

The button that silences this person has more power than this person will ever have. Use it. Blocking people who upset or offend you is A-okay. And the only way you can see them getting their diapers in a twist is if you go looking, which is on you. You control what you see and do, no one else.

These people wouldn’t do this in person, so remember they’re cowards behind a computer thinking they can just get what they want. They can’t. They’re not allowed.

You worked years for what you have. Have it.
