Dear commission artists:

Nobody is obligated to pay you to draw. If one wants to, I am happy for you. If you make a lot of money from your art, more power to you. But if someone asks for a free drawing, you have no right to complain. Just as you have every right to say no, they have every right to ask.

First of all, perhaps that individual does not know that you treat every request as a commission. Flawed logic on their part? Yes, but maybe you should consider that hobbies are hobbies and they may not see art the same way you do.

Get off your high horse. It’s nothing to complain about - art has never been a lucrative business, and this is the path you chose. Doing shit like making strawman comics on your social media about the evil requester who asks for a free thing and you politely declining them is not only extremely petty, but your responses towards said individuals tend to be extremely sugarcoated on your part.

Tl:dr tough luck.
