Sorry, guys

Description

Yes, yes, after over five years on FAC, I finally, FINALLY have gotten sick of drawing other people's ideas for them. There have been a few enjoyable ones, but mostly because I like to have fun and stray from what the requester wanted.

But I've noticed that a HUGE part of my gallery consists of stuff I did for other people. There was a time when I would have killed for so many requests, but now it's become distressing to have so many of my own ideas dying on the runway because I'm too busy drawing stuff I don't even end up LIKING in the end. I hate it. Maybe now I can dust off some of those ideas of mine and get them out there so you can all see what I'm REALLY made of.

Requests and art trades are still open to some people, however. You ought to know who you are, and that I love you so much that I'm willing to draw anything under the sun for you at your command. You guys never ask for anything stupid anyway.

I apologize if this isn't up to my usual skill level. I was focusing more on getting it finished quickly.

I don't know if you would know this... but, is it legal to draw a copyrighted character as a commission?(and get paid for it)
Thanks.

_ren_tao_fan_ on September 1, 2012, 10:03:53 AM

I'm relatively certain that it is legal, as long as you don't try to pass the character off as your own, but I'm actually not sure. There must be somewhere where we can look this up...

silly_rules on September 1, 2012, 10:47:43 AM

Okay. Thanks again!

_ren_tao_fan_ on September 1, 2012, 11:42:29 AM

I'm sorry I couldn't be more helpful. :C

pixiewolf05 on July 4, 2012, 9:22:35 AM

....this makes me feel like a loser....</3

Wolf-Chan_Wah on July 15, 2012, 1:27:05 PM

stop complaining.
please excuse me.

_ren_tao_fan_ on July 7, 2012, 12:13:59 PM

DAFUQ U TALKIN ABOUT GURL.

Xx_Noir2244_xX on July 12, 2012, 12:10:25 PM

Aw no moar requests T~T

_ren_tao_fan_ on July 13, 2012, 1:16:02 AM

For the time being, anyway.

Hoodie on July 11, 2012, 8:49:37 AM

This hilariously accurate, lol. However, being the person I am, I have to make this comment: You write your "F"s beautifully. Looks so much better than my "F"s... Mine always end up looking like "R"s. You have nice handwriting, especially for being on a computer.

Kay, done being weird now xP nice work!

_ren_tao_fan_ on July 12, 2012, 1:33:08 AM

Wow, I never got that compliment before. :D Thank you! (Although, it's not very difficult for me to write on a computer because I have a tablet.)

ShadzGirl on July 4, 2012, 12:23:49 AM

Oh God,THIS,yes,THIS. This happened to me on dA,complete with people out of the blue who didn't give crack diddle....yanno,about my normal works,and if they favourited something,it was the CHEEBIS IT TOOK ME TEN MINUTES TO DO. Finally Ori just had to say "frack it,only close friends can ask Ori for stuff!" she got so overwhelmed. ||D
So yeah,you go girl! Do your thing and race for the sky!:D
....Stars.
....
Yanno what,Ori will go with a metaphor she knows very well,even if it's one part ham and one part cheese:ROCK ON!!! xD
OTL,and I apologize if Ori contributed to taking away Renni's time from her desired work.:<

_ren_tao_fan_ on July 7, 2012, 12:13:42 PM

Thankfully the overwhelmed-ness is over. :>
Sky and stars are nice. So is cheese.

Your request was actually pretty fun to draw. I'm not lying when I say that, and rarely do I think requests are "fun" or challenging, but yours was both. And I'm still kind of happy with the result.

ShadzGirl on July 9, 2012, 1:11:44 AM

Is gewd~!
Isn't it,though?:D

Oh,I'm so glad~<3. 'Tis why Ori is so leery of making request,don't wanna make life hard for hard working artist.xD;;;
But in any event,it turned out so lovely,use dear Renny!Maddy as my wallpaper a lot~.:D

_ren_tao_fan_ on July 9, 2012, 1:58:54 AM

Wallpaper?! Yay! I feel accomplished!

rlkitten on July 6, 2012, 2:39:13 AM

AMEN!

_ren_tao_fan_ on July 7, 2012, 12:14:10 PM

Triss on July 3, 2012, 8:48:37 AM

Yep, I know what that's like. I've seen so-called "fans" instantly disown their artistic idol once said idol starts asking to be paid for their time. Would a builder build a house for free? Hell no.

By the by, shouldn't panel 9 be saying Mary Sue and Gary Stu? :D Just kidding!

_ren_tao_fan_ on July 7, 2012, 12:09:56 PM

Well, they can still be fans of my work, I guess, but I'm just not gonna draw THEIR ideas anymore. XD

There were too many variations of the male form of "Mary Sue", so I just used my own term for an astoundingly unremarkable dude. Hence... "Dude Man."

Gety on July 3, 2012, 2:05:17 AM

Hahahaha I feel your pain ;P

_ren_tao_fan_ on July 7, 2012, 12:07:48 PM

:'>

CrystalPikachu on July 2, 2012, 7:41:50 AM

Man that sucks! XD I hate it when you have an idea on what to draw then you have to do something and you forget it afterward. -3-
Love the comic! O3O U AWESOME!!!

_ren_tao_fan_ on July 7, 2012, 12:07:35 PM

I wrote a list of my ideas, actually, because I always had so much to do that I couldn't work on them immediately. But a lot of my written, unrealized ideas are getting pretty dusty. XD

SweetxinsanityxSarah on July 1, 2012, 5:47:11 PM

lmfao...this is why I pretty much do art trades nowadays, and am patient with others doing my requests...well I ask once in a blue moon but that's about it on asking about the progress. xD

Hahahahaha this got me chuckling. Yup I can see why this is in the top favs. =P

Do chuu still wuff meeeee? Cause maybe in the far off future when dinosaurs walk the earth again I might ask for a request... ;3;

_ren_tao_fan_ on July 7, 2012, 12:06:30 PM

Aww. Thank you very much. :>
Maybe I will accept requests BEFORE dinosaurs walk the Earth again. XD

pixiewolf05 on June 28, 2012, 11:02:01 AM

same with me.

i can tell this is gonna get in popular works...just sayin..

_ren_tao_fan_ on June 28, 2012, 3:05:03 PM

I'm glad so many people can relate to this.

pixiewolf05 on June 29, 2012, 8:16:23 AM

I PREDICTED the future.

_ren_tao_fan_ on June 29, 2012, 8:18:04 AM

pixiewolf05 on June 29, 2012, 11:16:25 AM

it happens all the time :>

pixiewolf05 on July 1, 2012, 3:58:52 AM

why is everyone favoriting this? D':> </3

Falconlobo on June 29, 2012, 8:11:57 AM

you should always draw what you like first requests later

_ren_tao_fan_ on June 29, 2012, 8:14:03 AM

I know... But then I feel guilty about making people wait so long. :C I sort of feel pressured to finish requests first, so it's best if I just don't get any for now.

Falconlobo on June 29, 2012, 8:16:13 AM

you should not feel guilty it's your art if they like your art enough they will be patient^^

luckylace222 on June 30, 2012, 9:04:04 AM

YOU ARE RIGHT FALCON. COMPLETELY RIGHT. I never thought about it that way. I SHOULD GO ON ART-TRADE BOYCOTT!

*revolution* -Because 90% of the people I have done art-trades up with in the past have just been pushing for me to do my work when they have never even TOUCHED their sides- not even now (I think they deleted their accounts or permanently left).

*rant* I should make a rule that says "From now on, I will only set up art-trades with those I deem good/trustworthy enough to make an art-trade with. That means I will rate your skill, maturity as an artist, and just plain artistic determination before I accept to accept or give anything to you." WHAT IS YOUR ADVICE?! TELL ME WISE FALCON!

(Sorry Ren if I am asking for a therapy session in the midst of your comments)

Falconlobo on June 30, 2012, 9:26:14 AM

it's okay she can learn from any body's advice whether it's for you or her or whomever^^

Falconlobo on June 30, 2012, 9:25:04 AM

do what you think is best for yourself

_ren_tao_fan_ on June 29, 2012, 8:19:16 AM

I wish that were true. XD

Falconlobo on June 29, 2012, 8:15:25 AM

it's always good to take a break from requests and do the ideas you want unless you're in an art block or in a mood to do requests

_ren_tao_fan_ on June 29, 2012, 8:19:00 AM

True, but I'm having sort of the opposite of an art block. XD I have so many things I want to draw. Hopefully this will give me enough time to draw them.

Falconlobo on June 29, 2012, 8:25:29 AM

good^^

luckylace222 on June 28, 2012, 10:27:29 AM

WIN SISTER! WIN!

Go forget all those useless art-trades/requests! Draw some more stuff you like! Do not let anyone stop you for a full 2.5 hours!

After that, eat an egg sandwich with orange juice on the side!

_ren_tao_fan_ on June 28, 2012, 3:04:09 PM

Egg sammich with orange juice? Can I add rice and beans? :O

luckylace222 on June 28, 2012, 11:50:02 PM

Rice and beans = almost guaranteed diarrhea

-But sure! Just make sure to cook the beans thoroughly to avoid eating naturally harmful compounds and enzymes!

Also, drink your milk everyday to grow strong bones! And do not do drugs! * exaggerated thumbs up*

_ren_tao_fan_ on June 29, 2012, 12:19:46 AM

I'm learning! Learning is fun! *insanely giddy, childish face*
