To anyone fool enough to think I’ll give out free artwork if you just butter me up, like coins in a vending machine:

Jokes on you, I’m a lazy asshole so if you want free artwork, you’re going to have to work for this shit.  Play the very, very long game of appearing to be a friend who:

• has a legitimate interest in me and my character
• engages in creating complex and interesting narratives with me
• tosses around head-canons, memes, and cursed images with me at random hours
• earnestly seems to care about my well-being over whatever’s going down in RP
• exhibit qualities that show you’re a genuinely compassionate and kind human being who cares about the feelings of other people 

and OH HO HO MAYBE SOME ARTWORK WILL COME YOUR WAY.  Probably not though, because I’ll likely have detected you’re a farce by then.

If I draw some of my friends’ characters is because they actually deserve it, I don’t owe anyone art because they expressed a few seconds chatting with me and nothing else, I think…is not how it works

Any bit of art a friend decides to draw for me is something I cherish and hold dear. Everytime I’ve seen stuff that @zahkis-ffxiv decided to do and then show me makes me tear up with happiness. ❤ Ti amo sorella!
