I've gotten an Artist Challenges

Post by Yami »

Apparently I have created a big fan on the FA named JJAPrice22 whom seem to love my artwork so much that he created a list of challenges for me. http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/5735938/ I can't believe this, I mean I'm not that talented of an artist to have someone to create challenges for me. I'm not sure if I can even do some of these pictures he wants. So I'm asking some of you follow artists out there, have you've ever been in this kind of situation and should I just go ahead and do these pictures for this guy? Or should I just say no and gently turn him down?

I'd turn them down if I where you. I used to be a pushover. The kind of guy who hated not giving everyone what they wanted. But there's got to be a line. If you don't want to do it, you don't have to do it. But that's just me.

Do you want to do them? Then say yes. Do you not want to do them? Say no. Unless he is offering you money there is no reason to take up projects that would be a burden for you.

You guys are right. I'll just tell him I can only do two of his choices and that is it. He is not getting any more pictures from me.

I wouldn't give him anything. Think about it. Does someone who selfishly asks for artwork from someone else deserve to be rewarded with something good in return? Anyone who makes these sorts of aggressive requests doesn't deserve anything in return. Giving them something for their efforts only rewards bad behavior and they're more likely to go do the same thing to someone else down the road.

Do art for people you like, your friends, or anyone you feel like. But don't do art for people who only want to take from you.

What you just said Suichiro makes a whole lot of sense.
