Not to be a peice of shit, but please do not contact me in my DMs begging for me to purchase your commissions, especially if I’ve never spoken to you in my life or do not share any fandoms or mutual friends with you.

This is incredibly inappropriate and makes me highly uncomfortable. I know there are a lot of people needing an income, but going through commissions tags and cold messaging strangers who have just gotten a commission are not the way to go about that. I’ve received several since I worked with a mutual/friend about a commission from them and it was posted.

Interacting within your own fandoms or communities within tumblr and advertising your commissions on your own blog and in the tags is always the best way to find people who love your art and will gladly support you.

#commissions #art commissions #this has nothing to do with who I’ve gotten the commission from!!#it’s just shady ass people being predatory and coming into peoples DMs begging for money that I have a problem with #you’re a stranger and granted we are all basically strangers but I’d be more willing to pay for a mutuals art #or someone I’ve been following or seeing around one of my persona fandoms art before answering a random ad in my direct messages #it’s like getting the ‘hey hun!’ messages from girlies selling pyramid schemes…#I’m not sorry for setting this boundary thank you #i know damn well I’m being harsh but it is 7am I got no sleep and I woke up to multiple dms from strangers begging for money
