-Totally unrelated to what follows, these lines are really neat?? like hey
I love your style so much, lemme steal it. <333 thank you!-

I want to talk to you about etiquette
Recently, I've seen a large rise in the number of people who seem to be taking artists for granted.
Especially here on the colored in fourm, and in my own work. If you order art, designs, or a breeding
from someone, take the time to read their rules fully and understand what they have to say. Most
people just have rules to make sure that both parties have respect for each other. But that's not what I
want to talk about, I want to talk about what happens after you receive the designs or art that you've
ordered.
Please, say thank you.
It's been like a meat market for characters lately, I've seen people just saying which ones they like or
want to keep without thank the artist period. This is really disrespectful and disheartening. As an artist
and a designer, I put a lot of effort into each design, and I know that everyone else does too. We go
through the effort of completing your order, sometimes paid and sometimes even for free, and then
you don't have the common courtesy to say a heartfelt thank you? it really puts me off wanting to do
things for free or paid, because it feels like it doesn't matter. I love to know what little things people
love about each design, or even just which one is their favorite. It makes me so happy to hear the simple
thank you because it shows that what I do is valuable and appreciated.
In all, just consider the golden rule, do to others what you would have them do to you. <3

This is not directed at anyone, I just think that it's worth bringing up. <3

I agree so much! I'm really surprised everytime I hear someone being mean to someone who made them art, just because of a small mistake. They took the effort to make something for you, at least be nice about it.

yessss leaf. i agree so much
its just general courtesy, and can go a long way for people not confident in their skills! i get anxious a lot, so when/if people don't say thank you or even acknowledge it [i can understand forgetting ofc] it makes me super anxious that ive done something wrong [or, in some cases, that they hate me even tho this is the only interaction ive ever had w/ them]

also leaf, thank you for making such pretty designs! i love absolutely every design ive gotten from you, even if i don't use them a lot [my oc count is now 430+ please send help]

Amen to that. I take everything really personally and I always feel like without that affirmation of at least general appreciation that I somehow did something wrong or am a bad person (even though I know logically it isn't related)
Omg thank you you are so kind to me. ;o; I always appreciate your comments and thoughts on all my stuff, it makes me feel so much better. Honestly your one of my favorite artist so it's a double bonus!!! <3 (plus a great friend as well)

Thank you so much for coloring it means a lot wow, I love your designs and they can make anything look amazing ;v; even these ugly lines haha >v<

I totally agree though, some people just take designs because the designer is popular or something.. but it's really nice to see people actually buying characters to at the very least give them a name..
Usually when I make designs they get overlooked but everyone and then they're noticed. I love seeing your designs when you post them though, so keep up the amazing work!

Would you be kind enough to take a look at my most recent Oekaki and give me some constructive criticism? I would really appreciate it, as literally no one even viewed it besides me lol.

I totally relate lol my life revolves around forgetting things that I need to dooooo
And thank you so much!!! just having people say stuff like that makes me feel a ton better. I try to be nice
because I feel like people have an easy enough time seeing the bad stuff that maybe if one person can be
nice it helps?? I dunno, I just really like making people happy. X3
Don't TeMpT me omg
And yeahhhh I'm a hoarder and that's just the way it is. I have too many but I just keep getting more, but ah well,
it keeps me happy and sane. ^.^
