#But that has nothing to do with commissions and is a whole nother rant for a whole nother day

Honestly been meaning to ask ever since I found your blog, but do you ever take commissions? There isn’t enough Roy love to go around and my soul demands M O A R

There isn’t enough Roy love to go around because all of it is contained within me and I'm not willing to share, sorry.

I've a complicated relationship with hobby monetization. Don't get me wrong, being able to make money off my art would be grand, and I'd love to be able to do it, I could really use a boost. But also art is what I do to relax, and I wouldn't want to turn it into another chore. With that said, I don't and here's why:

1. Well, for one, I don't have a bank account, can't open one, either (I mean, my job* doesn't pay me, literally, so having one would cost me more than it's worth). As is, I keep all my money in secret envelopes in the sock drawer, cause I'm old-fashioned like that. So unless you plan on meeting me in person, there is no way for me to engage in monetary exchange, even if I wanted to. Maybe I should start taking commissions in art trades like the good ol' deviantart times, bahahaha.

2. I'm sceptical that anyone would actually be willing to pay me for my artistic endeavours, anyway. As such, I don't take commissions, I don't have a patreon**, and I don't take tips. I've neither the audience nor self esteem for those things, and I don't wanna make myself look like a fool tryina start anything with no results - had enough of that by now and I'm allergic to disappointment.

3. If I did take commissions, they would not involve Roy as a general rule. It goes against my principles. I'm a Roy devotee, I do this out of my own pure self indulgence and genuine adoration, nothing more (though, of course, the positive attention is always appreciated). Roy makes me happy, and this is the least I can do to repay him. Well, that, and the sacrifices, but that's not what this is about. Besides, I need to draw Roy to live. S'not like I'm ever gonna stop.
