>I'm [victim card here] and i want you to give me money for drawing
It's so pathetic how most artists play the victim card to gulttrip people into commissioning them.
>My hamster is dying pls gib money
>My friend's cousin's dog has worms pls gib money
>My stepfather's late mother's acquaintance has sprained an ankle pls gib money
If you do this, you will be avoided by serious people.

No, even popular artists with large followings can still struggle getting living wages even from combined income of patreon and commissions.

Unless you're a NEET, focus your effort into longer form media projects or get other companies to liscense your work out. Build a portfolio and get a job at a studio.

>>4740954
Depends. Are you skilled in the craft of drawing good anime tiddies?

>>4740965
>pls gib money
What? She's not asking for money, she's asking for work.
To earn money.
Fair and square.
She's not begging, even.

Besides trannyshit, what is your problem?

>>4740954
ABSOLUTELY!
However dont make commissions your only source of income for art

>>4740965
The victim card crap is stupid but I think it's fine to say "hey guys I'm going through some rough shit / I have medical bills I have to deal with so I'm doing way more commissions than usual" or whatever is fine. Now if you're just straight begging for donations instead of working for it, that's what'll make people stay away from you.

>>4740954
Why the fuck should I care you're all those things? If anything it puts me off to commission you since it comes as mentally unstable

>>4740954
Doing comissions is only viable if you are a thirdworlder, if you live in a real country i can't understand why you would choose to do such a shitty low wage job instead of studying a career.

>>4741005
>because it isn't direct begging it isn't begging
>"I'm a TRANNY and MIXED and commissions are MY ONLY INCOME"
Basically, it's saying:
>I am a perceived oppressed minority, i am in an unforeseen negative financial situation but won't get money any other way besides this
Or anything that comes off like this in general
Huge red flag.
Sure, you might get a few gullible and naive people, but everyone else will avoid you because they know this tactic.
If you want work, ask for work in an honest and genuine way, people will give it to you because people like honest people.
>>4741055
So, for the sake of the argument, what if people don't commission you?
How you're going to pay your bills then?
How many times can you use that victim card
>my dog is dead
>my neighbours cat has down syndrome
>i have bills to pay
>i have bought expensive things, i can't refund it and now i'm in debt
Manage your money better and get a regular job.
Nobody will want to work professionally with someone who can't look after themselves or is highly dependent on others.

>>4741142
God shut the fuck up

I mean you're not wrong but like, who cares.
Leave the girl alone, she's just one of many, a product of her environment, a child of her generation, a symptom of a larger disease.

>>4741148
Get a job
>>4741155
I don't care about that person specifically. It's a pattern you witness often.
This is a board of learning.
Learn.

>>4740954
fuck commissions, monetize your fanbase to keep doing personal works/projects or at least be very picky about them

This place told me I was hopeless but after 7 years I managed to surpass my last job income with Patreon alone

suck it /ic/

>>4741163
Learn what

That youre a dumbass motherfucker for thinking people have to live a certain way or that they are somehow below you because they want to make their identity known.

If your argument is that "professionals" wont want to work with people who are socially extroverted bout their identity or finances or living situations then you must not be a part of the industry yourself, because theres more than enough evidence of the contrary

>>4741005

>>4741252
Can you now go back to r*ddit?
I don't argue with bots.

>>4741163
Get a job is the fastest way to ngmi, working like a slave will drain all of your energy that should be used for practicing.

>>4741283
Then don't work like a slave. Get a part-time job.
Consume less. Don't buy useless junk.

>>4740954
I'll pay anyone to draw cub porn.

>>4741283
>>4741291
both based and redpilled, thats why I live from the money of renting my other house to normies, is not much money, but pays the bills, and I can spare me some bucks and learn the arts of drawing, a wageslave just cant do that, 8 hours shift will drain your stamina and leave you too tired to study, unless your works is just being sit or some easy shit.

>>4741292
I draw cub porn

>>4741294
That's an option, too, if you already have the means. But i doubt that the average anon even has one house of his own or any way to generate any passive income.

>>4741298
That's the guy right there, officer!

>>4741308
>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NO THE PUPPERINOS

>>4741298
Cool, what's your IB?

>>4741315
im not sharing it here, if you have discord leave discord.

>>4741323
But I don't want to be bothered by randos on discord either.

I'm watching nearly every cub artist, so if you post, fairly guaranteed I'm watching you.

Post a crop of a head or face you've done and I'm sure I'll recognize you.

>>4741333
then why dont you commission them instead?

>>4741341
I do, lol.

>>4740954
his art looks pretty alright so I think those price are fair. Atleast it's not 1k for a sketch tier

>>4741188
Do you live in third world country?

>spend years learning to draw and render
>to draw other people's ideas for peanuts
Are artists retarded or something?

>>4741450
yes, they are.

>>4740954
>I'm a biracial trans man
kek, who asked? what a weirdo.
basically
>give me work, not because I deserve it for my skill level and meritocracy but because I'm X "oppressed" minority so you can farm brownie points
funny world

>>4741441
Yep

>>4741488
Your turd-worlder advice doesn't apply to developed countries you dumbfuck.

>>4741497
You cannot live with 2500$ a month in any part of the US?

You people are Fucked :/

>>4741497
Are you aware that the first, second, and third world categorizations are not based on development status or quality of life, merely that nations relation to US policy in regards to the cold war, ie Europe is first world as they're allied with the US, The Soviet Union and it's allies was the second world, and all others were the third world?

Cause you sound like a retard by screaming "ree backwater third world third world third world REEE".

>>4741155
Post your work faggot

>>4740966
sauce on ammy? don't recognize the signature

>>4741576
Are you aware that no one cares? The only thing that matters is that you're a wealthy person with $2500/month in a 3rd world country, but not in a 1st world.

>>4741576
>social/political terms never change their meanings
retard.
3rd world country is backwater, poor, flyover shithole of a country. Enjoy your enlightment.

>>4741576
So? Third world is third world and their advice for making it and living comfy doesn't do shit for someone in a first world country where cost of living is much higher. How fucking high are you that you lost all reading comprehension?

>>4741682
Sucks to be you then.

>>4741682
did you even read the reply?

fortunately I'm Polish

You're the reason why 'pyw' became a buzzword
