Hey, it's cool that you're taking free commissions and all. Just make sure you're not taken advantage of, friend. Working for exposure is usually a scam and unless you hit gold, it will be mostly a waste of your time. Stay safe out there and good luck with your future commissions.

WHAT is up with your ICON Djjaner?

Don't forget to advertise in the Collabinator! That'll likely help you attract some people who are more professional. I think. No promises.

@Tangerine I agree, some people are so desperate for work that they'll just throw themselves out there just for a chance to get noticed. Nobody should be made to work for free. All work should be compensated.

Hello friend, speaking from experience here. It may be tempting to say you'll work for free as a means to reel people in, but all that time you spend on these projects is time! And time spent working should be rewarded. People could also decide to not credit you and steal your ideas. So just be careful man, and take screenshots of all your convos. And think about what I said. I used to be one of those who would draw for free. I was never rewarded, and years later I found out the person who I gave art to was claiming they drew it and getting praise for it. So just, be careful man.

@Mechkami38 Exactly, it's important for artists to know this. Working for exposure is usually a scam and many artists regret putting in all that work later in their careers. Only work for free if it's what you truly want to do. Only work for free if exposure isn't what you're looking to get out of it.
