I keep seeing people rant about commissions and adoptables. Now, I for one haven't ever gave a fuck about getting an adopt, but what's the appeal? As for commissions, well, I haven't seen people complain about their commishes from more expensive artists.
Point commissions are bullshit. You spend a whole $1.50 on something and whatdya expect? I would never pay anyone less than 500 points for a single backgroundless chibi. Paying less than 200 points just doesn't seem worth it to the artist since that amasses to a whole $2. I don't bother with cheaper artists (Well that's not true, there's 2 I can vouch for who charge 20-200 points per who are skilled and make the commissions just as well as their own personal art).
I guess I don't expect anyone to agree, but when people make those "HAY WANNA COMMISH YOU" blogs and I look to see what they wanna spend and all the people denied because their good art at a fair price is "too expensive" paired with those blogs that complain about "I spent points on this piece and it's crappy" Well... I can only make the connection that just because 100 is a big number doesn't mean it translates to a big number.
Am I justifying a cheap artist's lack of care and slopped together commissions when you do give them points?
Hell no! I'm pointing out the flaw in charging so little. Charge what you think the effort is worth is what I'm saying. If people like your art, it will sell. Remember: Quality > Quantity
*shrug* Just sayin

It doesn't get better for me...
...like at all. I can't catch a break. Not only do I have lypmhoedema, but my husband, my UNINSURED husband has pulmonary embolisms. He has to take VERY EXPENSIVE pills to live. His pain has gone down, as he's taking the pain killers less. So the anticoagulants are working. We were informed there is not a cheaper alternative to his therapy (so for the love of god, please stop suggesting that we ask for cheaper meds. It is what it is and it's kinda insulting at this point. You are not helping). With a coupon, a better one than what GoodRX can offer it's roughly $500. That's the cheapest I can get it without insurance. We're working on getting him insurance but these things take time. If you want to help, either commission me or donate, or let people know. I don't mean to sound bitter but like everyone who thinks they're helping by mansplaining medicine really, really isn't. Either you don't have medical conditions that cost this much or you're not from the USA. Eliquis has no generic
Commissions always open!
Feel free to dm me here or on my Discord: CattStarr#4359 Commission info: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Iamgn2tZ6uQRmwo1bVCwHJ8kl7S-DWp9R9UHorQEd40/ My phone is traaaaash. I'm halfway to my goal to replacing it though. If you're interested in a commission, please consider your local Catt. 😸
Commissions are open!
So my phone keeps rebooting, calling 911 with it's weird emergency feature I don't even have turned on so idk why it's doing that and I need a new, one ASAP. If you or anyone you know would like a commission, please consider me! Alternatively, if you're interested in helping me with having lost all my belongings due to bedbugs and moving, you may buy something from this Amazon list. Just let me know what you spent and I'll round it up to the nearest dollar for your commission! List: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/UKSWO720YW4S?ref_=wl_share Thank you!
Neurospice - Discord Server
Hi, Y'all! in case you missed my previous journal, I have a Discord Server named, Neurospice! It's a safespace for neurodivergent individuals to share their art, problems and find like-minded individuals to talk to. Nothing sucks more than to feel misunderstood, right? It's still a baby, so I'm still tinkering with channels/categories and so on. As of now, the voice chat stuff is grossly ignored. I don't personally plan on changing that, but maybe one of my Sadmins might if they want to care for it, lol.

Agree!
The only thing I never know is if my prices are fair or not, since I am slow and got issues while doing them...
