Spoilers since there are two people to reply to.

@blue:
Yeah, but due to how iffy Gaia can be, I don't think I can. I at least linked to my TOS on my shop's rules though. My only rule is that artwork bought with fake money can't be used commercially. ^^;; I'm sure I could get away with it here with linking it offsite, though I don't expect people from avatar sites to pay money for my art work most of the time. ^^;;


@Totalanimefan:
I know Warframe is pretty popular, especially now since Tennocon released some cool things, but the hype usually drops down after a month. I was told by that DE stated that the next quest line will be released by November, but I was expecting it to be released next year. I just want them to take their time with the quest and iron out any major bugs that might pop up.

As for Muse Dash, I can't really say too much. Its more of a single player rhythm game. I find it fun at least and my community seems to like watching me play it.

They can be. :) Plus I really enjoy talking with my friends and community while I do them. I used to do free art streams all the time, but I stopped doing those a while back. DX Been mostly focusing on my commissions and personal work these days.

@Totalanimefan: Yee, plus people tend to not read the rules and requirements for the streams too. TwT I ask them to just be active in the chat, and they don't do that. Like, they are active til the point I am drawing their request. I've also had people complain about the work that I did for them for free. (EX: Hair is too long even though I copied the ref or they didn't like the pose.) Its ridiculous on how entitled people can get on free art. :/

@Totalanimefan: Yeah... DX But you'd think people would at least be grateful when it came to something that was being done for free. I've put rules up that if they want to complain on details they can commission me and I linked my commission info.

@Totalanimefan: Exactly, even if someone makes a mistake on free art of my characters, I don't complain about it. I tell them thank you. I'm super grateful when someone draws my characters, especially if its free. It just tells me that they loved my character a lot.
Lol, they don't, though for my RLC, its mostly just the same two people. :) But I'm ok with that. I enjoy their commissions. <3 The only thing that's going on is that I'm behind on one huge comm from July. I usually keep in constant contact with them, so they know what's going on at least. :) So far, both people have been super understanding when it comes to my times. DX Motivation can be pretty weird, no joke.

@Totalanimefan: Yeah I saw the event thing lol. I'll probably make a bumping post or what not. :) Feel free to chat with me in that <3

Yeah, I hope it comes back soon too. I started to work on a chibi for one of my usual customers, so it helps out.

@Totalanimefan: Oh man, good luck with school. :) And I wouldn't blame you for wanting to post a lot.

Well... If you count a base as an outline, then I have one xD The only thing I gotta do is add on the details. :) Luckly the characters I'm doing chibis for him are simple to draw.

@Totalanimefan: Oh nice! At least you can do it at your own pace, and one thing is for sure, I wish you luck! <3

Yeah lol, luckily its a super cute base and relatively easy to draw on. :) Its this base to be exact, except the characters I'm drawing all have 2 arms instead of four.

    I tried to use bases once, but I end up sort of going off script, so to speak. Reading the comments about ungrateful patrons who receive freebies made my stomach turn a little bit; I know the feeling all too well. It was strange how different price ranges/availability attracted different types of clients and attitudes. I remember one in particular who openly complained that a piece I was commissioned for was--to put it politely--poor in quality and dynamics.

    I suppose I had some kind of vindication years later when I happened across a group of artists who said she was an absolute monster and no one wanted to even communicate with her anymore.

// AI-COM MNRVA : activate MIDNIGHT EXIGENT(aurora knives)

@DragonicKittens: Noice! If it brings you joy and you love doing it, might as well go all-out, right?

Hopefully someday I'll get to stream as well! I've always wanted to do Let's Plays of some older games.
On the other hand though streaming would make me so nervous and give me performance anxiety though lol.

@blue:
Yeah, I some times do that, but its mostly on the faces, but sometimes I'll do that for the pose if I don't like it. But most of the time the bases I do use have cute poses.

Oh man, that really sucks. :( One thing is for sure, my thing is as long as the client likes what I drew for them in the end, that's all that matters to me. I'm not about to let some person complain for them. But yeah, the only person I really had an issue with on them complaining about "free art" I'm no longer friends with. They would always complain that I missed a detail or did the colors wrong. I really got pissed when I was drawing them NSFW for free (It was mostly just a pin up), they liked it at first til they realized I was missing shoes on the character. Yeah, I could have drawn it in, but I was already done with the lines and almost had the coloring done. The worse part about it is they wouldn't drop it after I asked them to when they kepted asking to apologize about it.

That's good at least. She probably got what she deserved at that point.


@Vii:
Lol, pretty much! <3

Ooh, playing older games do sound like fun. :) And I get that, I was the same way as well. But having good friends that you know will watch helps a lot as well. Plus some times its best just to be yourself during the stream. If you don't want to talk on mic when you first stream, then that's ok too. :) I sometimes have my mic off when I don't feel like talking on stream.


@Totalanimefan:
Yeah lol, plus working on things slow is sometimes good. <3
Thank you! <3 I have more samples on various bases like that, but I need to redo my samples for my commission info and art shop I'll be opening up on Gaia (and here) later on. I have a total of 16 cute bases to use, I have a few others, but its either pretty big or couple related, and I don't feel like doing couple art. DX

@Totalanimefan: Yeah it is lol.

I mean... I'd rather my RLC be a bit busy once its back open, but I don't mind if the avatar shops are busy too. :) I know on Gaia, its gonna be all RNG draws for the base I will draw them on, plus its a mix of a PWYW and bribe shop.

I was gonna do the same here, but I realized that there isn't a way to do RNG on here, if that makes any sense? I'd probably have to roll it myself and send screen shots of what they won or just tell them what base number they won art on.

@Totalanimefan: Ah, makes sense to me. Plus I don't really blame people for wanting to just use the quick reply function. Its much easier to do, plus you can scroll up to read the message to reply if you forget something. xD
Lol, this is true. :)

@Totalanimefan: That is a pretty good benefit on this site, I'll state that. :) But my threads tend to be dead most of the time here. xD

Yeah, I wish Gaia had that feature too, but they also don't have a rule against double or triple posting, which is pretty nice since I had to do a lot of bumping on my bday thread that got no where. X_X;;

    I enjoy the banner notifications, but it's a shame that you can't be more selective in which notifications to acknowledge. At least, from what I've seen. It might be nice to check off a site announcement, but keep a notice to reply to someone else later.
