HOW IT WORKS: You can send me a dm, or head over to my link tree that has a link to my form! https://linktr.ee/pony_dreaming. Please dont expect a reply since there are a lot of you, so just write everything down.
1. I WILL NOT DRAW: vore, scat, gas, death/gore, war themes, or anything harmful to any real person. I'm fairly open with any fetishes so you can request away, but if there are any questions you can ask or just suggest it. I won't be mad at you. Also, it might be a good idea to list your don'ts in your request as well. If you really don't want to see something, say something! It won't upset me! There are also some things I can't draw ay my skill level (which is amateur).
And for reference, I like to draw Mind Break/Control, Hypnosis, BDSM, Lingerie/Crossdressing, Feminization/Bimbofication. Slutty dudes basically. My favorite characters are Big Mac, King Sombra, Sunburst, Spike, Spyro, Scooby Doo, Jake Long (Dragon Form), Morgana (Persona), Beerus, Revali, Kass, Horse (Centaurworld) (And also Disney horses too). In case you want to win me over with any ideas you have ;)
2. I reserve the right to deny any request for any reason. No NFTs. My work will not be used to train AI in any present or future projects in any capacity. AI stuff is forbidden.
3. You can suggest whatever media you like in whatever quality you like! I am mostly a my little pony/furry artist so keep that in mind! OC and Canon are fine, feral or anthro is fine. I will draw any gender. I will ultimately decide on the quality of requests (sometimes I just don't feel like drawing a big thing and sometimes I go overboard :P). Quality includes: Animation, Comic, Full Image, Flat, and Sketch.
4. Please have patience!!!
-THERE ARE A LOT OF YOU THAT WANT REQUESTS. I HAVE HUNDREDS OF SUBMISSIONS, PLEASE BE AWARE THAT REQUESTS WILL BE SLOW. THERE IS NO GUARANTEE YOUR REQUEST WILL EVEN GET DONE. PLEASE KEEP THIS IN MIND. ADDING ME TO ASK ABOUT YOUR REQUEST WILL NOT GUARENTEE ITS COMPLETION-
Hello, Ponydreaming. I don't intend this to be another request message as this is not my intention. However, I have been waiting five years to find someone like you. And today, I did.
First of all, I want to thank you. The furry FANDOM, as its name states, is meant to be a place where everyone has the right to belong, and be a part of. That mantra is mused around every corner of all wikis and communities, but it is hardly ever thought what those words really mean. I don't think this is a random thought, as it helps explain quite a few things that happened recently.
What I think -and I think it should be for any healthy fandom-, the meaning of 'belonging' isn't just the act to create an account, or fave other's content, but also being able to be able to call it your own in a way - let it be by learning some related skills, getting to interact with the artists, or paying submissions.
Unfortunately, this is not possible for the vast majority of commoners. Let it be because of lack of money (my own case), skills, or time, normally one tends to feel displaced after a while of futile trying to bring your imagination to life. And for me, a fandom who can only enjoy a passion via payments, it's not a fandom. It is an enterprise. The furry enterprise.
I have nothing against those who do paid commisions, but, let's be honest, this situation has become TOO common. The norm, I would say.
Commisioning has stopped being an option, only to become THE ONLY way possible to get to say 'hey, this is what I've ever wanted'. It is, or that, or you have to stick to what the artist wants to draw, the way he wants to draw, with the prices he wants to accept. There's no voice for the rest of the fandom.
No wonder that the arrival of AI has caused such a turn of events. You, the readers in general, try to make a mental exercise. If there was, let's say, a 50% chance you could get even just ONE picture requested for free, would AI have caused such a massive impact on the furry fandom as it has? I highly doubt so. There is something we can extract as a conclusion.
Artists say and swear and scream that those who use AI is because they have no will or patience to 'wait' for the creative process to happen. I think that is blatantly wrong. The huge raise in AI usage is tied to all those 99% people who never have and will never have the interest of any of those content creators in their ideas. This approach from artists have caused the Furry Diffusion channel to have 34209 members as of now, and x5 the income of pictures of my interest (which can be similar to the average) than e621 and FA together. Go figure.
That said, the most evident 'cure' to that problem (I don't see that a problem, but rather a natural reaction), is what you, ponydreaming, me, and maybe some very few people do. Get all those people who are the 99% of the fandom, and LISTEN to them. APPRECIATE their ideas, and make them feel CARED of. Believe me, the feeling of gratitude is something much more fulfilling that those of getting some money back for a picture, that, in the end, will hardly ever suffice to make a half-decent living. If only there were enough artists who did this, so you, ponydreaming, don't have a hundred-long request waitlist, I can assure you Stable Diffusion would be something a majority of the fandom wouldn't have heard about.
I would keep explaining why the lack of non-$ interest is the source of most of the drawbacks the fandom faces, but I'm running short of characters, so I will end up adressing specifically to you, Ponydreaming.
I HIGHLY value your compromise with the fandom. Even if you aren't able to fulfill every request, the attitude is what counts the most. For whatever you need, let it be signal boosting, advice, or whatever, I am here for you. Consider me your friend for now on.
If only 1% the artists were like you, this place would be very different. If I end up leaving the fandom, I know that, with you, it is in good hands.
Cheers.

Hello, Ponydreaming. I don't intend this to be another request message as this is not my intention.
