Ruined it for everyone. (Stoping Art)

ChibiWerewolf · January 2010

I'm not looking for your pitty. I'm not looking to be a drama queen. Honestly, you don't even have to pretend to care about what I have to say (apoliges to those who do care); I think it would be nice to get this out and it feels good to type and it's quicker than writting a journal. I'm frusterated. I haven't told even my closest friends in real life how frusterated with life I am right now. I'm only thirteen, barley a teenager, and I stress out harder than anyone older than me I know. I have migranes all the time and I can't control when I cry and when I don't. I'm not a whiney, brat who cries at the slightest thing. It takes alot to make me cry. I can't stand life in general any more. I can't stand people, all the fake people I see day in and day out. People who lie to my face and think I'm to stupid to know it. Even the small things are starting to get on my nerves, And THIS is the important thing you may want to know. Do you know, people I give art to don't pay me? They don't pay me. And if you know you haven't payed me and think to yourself "WOW! I got lucky! She dosen't know I didn't pay her! Free Art!" You are sadly mistaken. I know when you don't pay me. I keep track of everyone who dosen't pay me and I know you being dishonest. You lied to me. Especially, when a friend says they are going to pay me and they never do. It hurts the most because I made it special. I don't slap together crap, I put effort into what I make you for god sake! Why don't you care? I don't even know for sure if people are doing it on purpose or not. But It's not like just one person did it, it seems to be happaning more and more and more. Is it because I'm too nice? I'm not mean. I won't yell at anyone. Maybe I should. You don't understand do you? You are stealing from me. Stealing. Do people think "Man, Chibi is way to nice to yell at me if I don't pay, I guess I just won't" And when it hurts the most is when your friends don't pay you. It's not even the money, it's the honesty. I don't forget. I remeber the type of person you are. I'm too nice. I really don't feel like being nice anymore. Weither you mean to or not. Weither you honestly forgot or not, I don't care, you need to make sure I get payed right after a service. I still love and value all of my VirtualPup friends, but I am stoping art for awhile. Sorry to those of you who actually pay me, but I'm sick and tiered of this and I have more places where I could just as easily focas my energy and time too. I'm sorry if I've been in a pestimistic mind-set but my real life isn't going to swell either and I most definatley don't need this. I don't know when I'm going to reopen art.

UnknownDreamland · January 2010

Did I forget to pay again?

I'm really sorry if I did, even though you don't want to hear it. But I know how you feel. When things like this happen, you need to take a minute, get control, and make sure it DOESN'T happen again. With you, I KNOW when I order art, I'm going to get it. More than likely, soon! For that, you most definitely can ask for payment first! Paid. In. Full. With someone like me, I don't know to be honest if or when I'll get your image done most times, not all of the time however. That's different. What I'm trying to say is this. Make it impossible for someone not to pay. I know it's hard to wait if you're eager to start something, but don't set yourself up. Demand payment before any work is done, THEN blitz right through it. Make some WIPS of detailed work to do inbetween getting payments if you need to, do something besides the art that is not paid for.

Dreamy, you pay me. C:> And I love that you make sure you do. And That all sounds great, I saw Evlon slaped big ol` "UNPAIED" watermarks on her work and I think something like that would be good. Like, I said it's very very extreamly hard for me to drop a friendship because of a missed payment or something. x3

SC`s Stars II · January 2010

-goes to send a 4million to Chibs because she deserves it! And I shall pay you for those who didn't pay you- If you decline that contract there will be a wrath of Coaster! :twisted:

98rtsy · January 2010

I'm so sorry. That is unbelievable. I agree with Dreamz though for when you do start again.

Thank you very much JT. That means alot, thank you.

iluvdogs111 · January 2010

Chibi, that's awful. You are such a great artist, and you deserve to be paid real cash. I hope you feel better.

SC`s Stars II · January 2010

Yes yes I'm sure! You DESERVE it!

That's very sweet of you to say, thank you very much for saying such nice things.

BuffyBoarding · January 2010

I did pay you for the ocelot correct? When buffy doesn't pay it's because she honestly did forget about it. Buffy cannot live without random chibi art. -beats all the non-payers into submission-

CORY · January 2010

Aw. Im sorry chibi. I think i forgot to pay you once ? I know you made something for me. But i didn't think i ordered it. (must of forgot that i asked you to draw for me.) But ill send you the 3mill i can afford. Just in case i forgot to pay before. I know its not the 5 mill you usualy get payed but 3.3k is all i have ( :oops: ) Well anyway im sorry. You dont have to talk to me anymore if you'd like

Cybergirl · January 2010

Aw Chibs Im sorry! I dont think I ever havent paid you? I dont think I have anything from you to not pay you for? xD Ill miss your art. 'Tis my favorite. I hope you decide to make some again sometime!

Alabama · January 2010

Most of the artwork sold on VHR is displayed with huge copyrights across the entire picture. When the person pays for the work, they get one with a small copyright that doesn't interfer with the picture. You can also use a MM for art transactions, just like with upgrades and goodies. That way, the seller can be assured that if the art doesn't come through, they get their money back and the artist is assured that if they do the work, they'll get paid.

3Eagles · January 2010

I'm sorry people have just taken your art for free. I understand why you wouldn't want to do art right now but I'm going to miss looking at all your artwork. I

you Chibs! Your artwork is special and it takes a special person to make something special. Take a break just don't make it forever. When you decide to return to the land of artwork start using one of the ideas suggested. Honestly you act older then just 13

. Keep your chin up! If you ever feel the need go ahead and pm me. *huggles*

MondyFlax · January 2010

I blame myself for being to trusting, not everyone is honest. When I decide to start doing art agian, watermarks galore. Thank you Alabama. Like Dreamy said I'm going to "Make it Impossible For Someone to NOT pay me."

You've Paied me Cybbeh. x3 Don't worry, I don't think anyone knows or I haven't said it enough but when people say things like "Your art is my favorite" it makes me so fufilled and so happy about everything I do because I have major art depression and somedays I just wanna give it up all together.

No no no no. You've paied me as far as I know, and if you need your money especially no. xD Shamey, and anyone else who is curious If you missed a payment from me, I'm only mad if you KNOW you arn't paying me. If it's truely an accident, I forgive you. Shamey, you know I love you. I told Dreamy too, I love my friends, even if they forget to pay me.

You paied me I believe. c: If you truely did forget about it I 100% forgive you. You don't live on VP, nobody does and it's hard to keep track of real life as it is.

Thank you very very much Triss. You don't know how happy that makes me to hear that. It would take alot to make me quit "forever", thank you for your kindness and support. I act older than 13? Thank you. xD I like to think I have my mature moments. *huggles back*

NickelbackLuver · January 2010

Aw D; that's horrible. Your art is worth every bit of what you charge.

I know the feeling as well though. My art isn't 100% amazing like yours, but when I sell banners and people just casually walk off without paying, it bothers me. I also stick them on a "Hasn't paid" list, and they cannot get anything else from me until I receive payments. Ever. xD Because I'm that mean. No, actually, I understand the being too nice thing too. I have this horrible feeling of guilt if I bug people about payments or anything xD I hope things clear up for you in your life off VP as well.

Pepper97 · January 2010

Nu!! Chibeh! I was building up vpc to get a bulldoggeh done by someone(you being my first choice). You're so talented! Must pm. >D

woodpecker · January 2010

Poor poor Chibs! *smacks inconsiderate people* wait. I don't owe you anything do I? I love chibs work! As you know, you are my favorite artist! I've loved watching you progress over the last couple of years.. But. I completly understand. I keep a list of unpaids on my post (not that anyone is ordering ATM..xD) and I send them pms if thy don't pay within a fortnight, and I know they've been on.. I've still got a few unpaid from months ago.. Anyhow, I will be sending chibs a contract later

RoyalRaccoon · January 2010

Hey, I don't think we've really said anything to each other, but I've seen your work and as a fellow artist I have a lot of respect for you, and I can relate. In situations like this watermarks become your best friend. For me, whenever I am showing a sketch or image before the final piece I always down size it, and watermark across it, so it won't be taken, but the commissioner can still see and give me permission to move forward if they like the design. Once I'm paid I email them a full sized version with my signature or a small, unobtrusive watermark. 13 is a tough age, especially when you are as mature as you sound. Fake people are everywhere, and the best thing you can learn to do is ignore them. I'm 18, and when I started college a year ago I had hoped I finally escaped high school drama, but my hopes were nearly killed when I met people twice my age, that acted like crazy teenagers. Genuine people seem so rare nowadays. My mother is a very nice person, but because of that people sometimes take advantage of her. I'm not a trusting person so I'm constantly telling her to stop being so nice for her own emotional saftey, not because being nice is a bad thing. It's rather unfortunate that the good people have to change because of jerks who think that it is ok to hurt others because they can get away with it.

Thank you very much, Ms. Prince Sushi. xD I've seen your art and let me be the one to tell you it is perfect and stunning. Ugh, being 13 isn't all that fun, being 10 or 11 was easier. I have so much going on and people who act worse than crazed animals in real life and the computer drive me insaine. So much to do, with all the distractions isn't easy. Why are people so obnocious? Why are people so dishonest? So people I believe, are just...truely...stupid.

RoyalRaccoon · January 2010

Thank you~ It'll get easier, trust me. It might get worse at first when you get into high school(I'm guessing your in 7th or 8th grade by your age),you'll wish you were 13 again(or maybe you'll love it. I wished I was 13 while in high school. lol), and then once your out it will be easier. I think people are dishonest and obnoxious in real life because they think they are better than you, and because they are afraid to admit they have flaws. When on the internet I think they behave crazy way because they feel empowered by anonymity. Getting on a computer is like creating a lawless alter personality, because it's rare that someone is going to face real punishment for doing something or saying something vulgar to someone else on a forum.

Yes! Exactly! People are cowards and I mean it. They'll say so many things to people on the internet but are to afraid to say it to another human being's face. The internet makes people feel "big" when in they're actual life they may not feel so high and mighty. The internet shows you what kind of people they actually are.
