My friend shared this video to warn other artists about how she was taken advantage of, and I believe this is a very important message that every artist should hear.
I've lost count of how many times someone, be it a big corporation or an individual, have asked me to illustrate for them for free. It will always go something like this "You draw this for us, and we will include your name in the credits. That's good publicity for you!" as if such a pathetic offer holds any merit.
There was one specific case where a guy wanted to use my drawing as a book cover but didn't want to pay. He said he might print up to 50,000 books, so that's like an

The beautiful yet arresting digital painting is "Countdown" by yuumei (https://www.deviantart.com/yuumei) and it is currently one of the most popular pieces on deviantART.

Hmmm happy 2014!
And a huge thank you shout-out to everyone who recently added me to their devwatch! I know I don't reply to comments and adds but I read and appreciate every one of them!! :)
I'm hoping to start a long overdue commission window this spring, and I have a few people who have messaged me in the past year asking for requests whom I will make a priority.
Unfortunately(?) I will have to raise prices because based on my first commission window, I realized I put a lot of time and effort into these pieces and I hope they are worth a bit more than what I put up last time. I hope t
