Regarding Friend Requests and Trades

I know this may sound kinda weird coming from me, but I really need to talk about this issue. I almost feel as if it sounds a little pretentious or uppity or something, but its been really getting on my tits, so here we go.

If you send me a Friend Request and Watch me, do NOT expect me to automatically give you free art. That is not how that works. Do NOT ask me to do collaborations before you even say hello, especially if you have an empty or otherwise lax account that doesn't show any hint that you are active. I do not appreciate it and I do not want to deal with it.

Now, let me explain the difference between a request and a collab. A request is when you ask an artist for free art with specifications you asked for, within reason. A collab is when you and another person work together or "collaborate" to create a piece, whether it be splitting the linework and color or something else. It does not mean, the artist does all the work and you just upload it as your end of the bargain. That is not how that is done.

Thank you.
