Yes, yes, I know all of that. I'm a fan too you know. And I've already taken all factors into consideration, don't worry about it. Although I can tell your excited about it, so its ok I guess. Although maybe you shouldn't post so much. You could be spoiling it for people that haven't seen or read this series yet.
And theres one more thing. And before I say it I want you and everyone else to know I don't demand it, nor can I, nor would I, and I don't want people thinking I'll shun them if they don't, but do you realize that ever since I've uploaded the picture, and you and I have conversed about it, and things related to it, that not once have you thanked me? I find this interesting because your the person that requested this picture (The FF one, and now that you brought it up, the 3X3 Eyes one too). And even though I would have drawn it sooner or later, it was sooner because of you. Its also ironic in a way that everyone else BUT you has expressed something for the picture. Now, I don't get paid to do this, I do it for me, and for everyone else that might be entertained or charmed by it.
Since I get no pay for my work, and its free, the "thank yous" the "well dones" the "great jobs" the "excellent works" etc. etc. are my only means of support. I feed off of people's positive responses both great and small, as it is all an artist drawing for free has. The comments of the fans are my food and my energy, and I feel you have been indifferent towards me.
Its decency, common courtesy, and good form to thank people for a service, especially when its free. I can't expect it from you, nor do I. I just wanted to let you know how I feel about this situation.
There is however the chance you may be dissatisfied with the picture. In that case you owe me nothing and may feel free to state what you don't like about it. But if thats the case then, and your an ingrate, then it would be better if you don't request a picture from me again. Because the fact of the matter is, the picture is not yours in any sense, and you are priviledged to see it free of charge like everyone else. I say that not to gloat, or to make a king of myself, but its just the way the system works, and I can't help but feel my work is good enough to commend anyways or regardless of this. What I should have gotten I shouldn't have to ask for anyways, either.
