No, it's just the logical conclusion since you're willing to spend money. What's to say you don't already have the money and just want to divert attention over the fact you wanted me to look sinister in the artwork.

I mean, you pay enough attention to the stunts I pull on this site to know what I'm doing.

Do I? Half of the time I am confused about things that are happening (half is an exaggeration but still).

I mean you know enough, and then being the first to accuse others of commissioning. I'm just saying. It makes sense.

I have one commission that I need to pay Hans for tomorrow.

Thanks for outing yourself, "Commissioner"!

See? Instead of sourcing the cover to an artist, you'll have it done by the AI, thereby lessening the income opportunity for the artist.

Of course, it's understandable. People will have to get the cheapest way possible to have their needs/wants fulfilled. And those 'elites' on Twitter still bitching around thinking they can always dictate the industry how they want it.

By the way, I especialize on cover artwork, that's why I'm feeling the bite of AI proliferation. Still, I'm just weathering it. ??


Yep, most of my 'commissions' aren't paid. I'm doing them for free.

Though, I sometimes get some payment, since I draw by pen and paper method, and art materials ain't cheap here.

But then, I know my artstyle can't match the big guys on Twitter so I don't dare advertise much.

It's mostly because a lot of the professional artists charge upwards of thousands of dollars plus a "commercial use" fee. While I get that artists have to make a living, one has to also ask if the work one does is necessary or if it's luxury. If I were a large company with thousands of dollars to have an artist like that work for me then sure, because the going rate is 50-70 dollars an hour for mid-tier professionals, and when we talk mid-tier professionals we're already talking about artists that do near realistic drawings.

The highest end artists can charge whatever they want. It's pretty insane, especially as work gets more and more detailed.

I don't begrudge artists for making all the money they can get, but at the same time I also have to think of what's worth it. Since I don't technically want to put a title character on the front of the story I'm going to publish, I don't necessarily need an artist to draw it, but if I do want to do that then I'll probably want a highly detailed artist that can really accentuate the character on the front.

I guess it depends on how specific I want it to be, but honestly when it comes to art, spending more money doesn't always equate to getting greater results. Since you have to ask for a piece that goes with what the artist specializes in.

AI art is just making it so people who don't need something specific can get high quality looking art, perhaps with no soul, on the cheap. Like AI novels however, it's usually very generic. All the large breasted AI women on instagram are quite generic as well.

Just want to say, I'm here sitting in the middle of the church, listening to the priest's boring sermon and looking at the girl I still love getting married to another man.

It's all surreal, and I think my brain is dead. lol

Yeah, that's why I keep a low profile. If I have time and in condition, I'll take in requests and commissions. I'm well-aware of my artsyle's level, so I don't dare stand alongside 'pros'.

I have one commission that I need to pay Hans for tomorrow.

Thanks for the trust. I'll head home as soon as greeted the newlyweds, and do the commish. I don't want to stay here any second longer.

That's why I learn to hate those who reject me. It's easier to move on that way than feeling sad. @melchi Rejection bro, You need to learn to hate @AliceShiki due to the rejection. I'll hate her with you. We'll hate all of them.

I still have to learn that.

Any case, I'll just tire myself with my works and illustrations. Gotta forget this, the sooner the better.

I already left the venue; I'm not going to the reception. Told our friends I got lots of commissions in queue. lol ???

Though let me cry for a while... *cries in dollars and euros

Yeah, it never gets easier seeing someone you wanted having a happy life with someone else. Until you find someone yourself at least.

I'll be avoiding that aspect for now; I guess I have something to fix myself, hence I was rejected.

Still, thanks for bearing with me. I try to be positive; I don't want to wallow in this stuff. ??

Eeeeeeeeeeh!? I said I thought of Melchi as a friend though!?!??!

I didn't reject their friendship! >.<

Take care of yourself, Hans!

To Lord Shaxx, sorry for the GB version. I have to base your appearance on your pfp since we don't talk too much.

So without further ado...lore #5!
