It's been an increasingly disturbing occurrence that has been happening this last year and I can't really keep quiet about this any more.

In regards to character design commissions-
I cannot stress this enough - it really really bothers me if someone goes and alters any pre-concept sketch I've done with a color palette of their choice and not allowing me a chance to present my view of the character being designed and crimps my ability to really get creative in the end if I'm commissioned to create a character from scratch.

Furthermore, if I have already made it clear that the design is not complete and needs more refinement it really bothers me when a proof is used to make commissions with from other artists. It's very embarrassing for me to see a piece like that crop up in my inbox because there are often so many anatomical flaws in the initial designs that need to be ironed out and it comes off as incredibly disrespectful to myself.

Not kosher folks, not kosher at all. :C

At this point if there are further infringements of this nature when it comes to character design, there will be a single warning (more like a 'what's going on here?') before I will cancel the commission.

In regards to RP'ing-
I will try to elaborate more on this visually, but the number of people that approach me in a very sexual manner even after I tell them I'm trying to work is incredibly disturbing, particularly when they position themselves resting on or against me in a suggestive manner.
Just... Really? I said I am busy and not in the mood to engage with an rp, and I'm NOT a bloody couch! I'm not currently looking for that kind of contact or relationship nor do I plan to seek out a partner any time soon.
For the love of sanity if I ever in the blue moon do want that kind of contact I will make it very clear. Do not push me on the matter if I say no 90% of the time.

Basically - My characters are not exotic sex toys, and I would appreciate it if they were not treated as such should anyone approach me for an rp. It's not cool and rather rude as I see things because if you think about it, it's similar to someone walking into your room, grabbing your favorite possession, and going "this is now mine to do with as I please."

Just, don't go there ok?

In other news I've been shivering my butt off in a combination of cold and stress with the heavy knot after spending all day keeping from screaming at the next person in line or co-worker that does something stupid around me (this was of a whole different cause than the above issues) and nearly coming close once with a very raised voice while customers were in line.

Short night tonight so no capacity to art until tomorrow when I'll try to stream if I can, so I'll be trying to beat that engine room level on Ecco DotF >_< At least it's something to vent at than an innocent bystander.
