Hey Everyone.
Added 2023-01-17 17:12:14 +0000 UTCI am just gonna say it.
I HATE doing commissions.
I truly and honestly hate it. It’s the worst of the worst of the worst.
It’s boring, it’s annoying… it’s WORK!
I HATE IT.
When I say I am open for commissions, trust me… it’s a declaration that I love you guys and want to give something extra.
Because, I HATE IT.
When I hear someone asking me if I am open for commissions ALL other places than in here, I cringe… I freeze and all the past memories of people asking me what I am willing to make… it turns my stomach.
So… please try to understand, that commissions are not an easy subject to me.
Sometimes, I just want to do them, because I want to be nice. I truly want to.♥️
And if you have a commission idea for me - DO NOT PACK IT IN.
Come out with it! Don’t walk around the hot pot for an eternity I HATE THAT!
Please, let me know! The worst thing that can happen is me saying: I am sorry, but I am not the right artist.
I have made a decision only to accept commissions from patrons. Because you guys are more respectful, but I still feel very, VERY bad about commissions, because… I love drawing. It’s my hobby, and I enjoy it…
But commissions are work, and that isn’t fun.
You can’t know what is going on in my mind, and I never, ever thought that I would have to explain this kind of stuff to you, because… I honestly thought nobody would ever need to know.
But I remember - please remember… there is an actual person at the other end of every comment and message and post.
EVERY single drawing takes HOURS to think and draw - even the sketches.
And don’t get me started on the writings.
That is SOOOOO hard. I love it, but it is still difficult.
And also, I have issues back here as well. Today I was expecting a package and the incompetent idiots that is the danish postal service again decided to screw me over. I swear they must have some kind of blacklist and I have been on it for ages.
I am trying to say that I adore your comments, I truly do… but when you ask me to do something… I feel more pressure… and honestly… the way I work… that may kill it for me.
Please try to send requests or ideas only in the messages. I might not answer them, I might not agree with them, but the comment section, in my opinion, is not an inbox for ideas.
However!
This is NOT an invitation to send every single idea to me that comes to your mind. I got WAY too much of that over on DA.
If you have an idea, Great, but please be respectful.
My apologies and my best, but I am truly pushed to my limit.

2023-01-17 19:21:50 +0000 UTCI believe you misunderstood the expression "there's an actual person at the other side of the ..." it all so means he is in fact a human to. And what makes us humans MISTAKES. In other words you don't know if he ment to be rude you can't except if your in his head or something. You think your the only one who was not answered. I understand your pain trust me i really do (no answer at all is wey worst then anser with hate) and yet i have never blamed Henrik why because in the end of the day he has done nothing actually wrong because he is in fact not responsible to our wishes he dose it because he was willing to satisfy us. No one told him to do it he chose to do it because he is in fact a good person i understand that sometimes his answers hurt (in this case they don't exist) but keep in mind he has over 300 patrons a social life and hobbies we are not his top priority and honestly we shouldn't be it is not normal for a human. Remember that he has dealt with other who treated him as a tool and do you not think he would change his approaches. So suck it up brother because ther are people who wont even acknowledge that you exist at all. l don't think he wanted to hurt you don't believe me ask him your self.

2023-01-17 19:14:07 +0000 UTCREALLY? I don't mean to be rude, but I'm honestly not sure I can believe that after the conversation we'd just had yesterday. I came to you with a commission idea of my own two months ago and I was super excited to see what you'd do with it. But because of a communication error you left me twisting in the wind. I'll admit I share part of the blame in that farrago, but in all honesty; you make me out to be at sole fault. Wouldn't have killed you to hit me back after? You could've at least checked back in with me to see if I was still interested. Because I really was, honestly, I still am. Even if you were kinda rude about it and all. I mean I understand where your coming from, Truely, I do. I hate asking for commissions as much as you seem to hate taking them. Since I've been short ordered by so many talented artsts in the past 16 years. 8-9 times to be precise. But I'm not so sure that it is very fair for you to say all of that whilst not being very mindful of your own words. "there is an actual person at the other end of every comment and message and post." but you up and stiffed me last November because you didn't even Bother TO KEEP THE CONVO GOING. Seriously, do you have any idea about how much that actually hurt? Ban me, stiff me, do whatever you want, but I felt that needed to be said. I'm not merely angry, I'm a little broken up about it too. Sorry if I wasted your time, but I happened to be dead serious about commissioning you. You were the one whom didn't take it seriously enough :'(

2023-01-17 17:58:35 +0000 UTCI’m sorry that you’ve been feeling a lot of pressure and you don’t really have to do commissions. Plenty of talented artist online don’t do commissions and they’re blunt about it because “They just don’t want too” and that’s fine. While it is a “labor of love” it’s still labor and if it’s simple too much, we’ll respect your decisions
