Here are the reasons why I don't do commissions of any kind that is IRL money or fake online currency, art trades, nor free art of any kind, they are NOT excuses, they are reasons:

1: Those who disrespect my rules and boundaries: There are sick creeps who disrespect my boundaries, I even had a traumatic experience with that sick Disney lewd obsessed creep named

CraigClark111 who requested me *Out of all people* to draw a picture of Jenny Foxworth *A DISNEY CHARACTER FROM OLIVER AND COMPANY* in a bikini! He said to me "Hey, can you draw Jenny Foxworth in bikini?" Which was really creepy! I even had to delete that comment and block him for not respecting my rules and boundaries, I hate seeing Disney characters in fetish/NSFW content! I was one of his many victims, you should block him too for being very rude and disrespectful to other people's rules and boundaries.

2: Lack of free time: I can't be asked to draw for people, I should be playing video games, watch shows, movies and videos, go out to places, or be with family and friends, not be chained up to a desk to draw random stuff for random people without breaks.

3: My art style and content: There are people who hate my art style and have a nasty habit of criticizing them for no reason and without my consent, and they will even attack me if I did what they told me to do. There are also people who will make false assumptions about me over my certain content that features only fictitious stuff while never messing with IRL people and never mis-using other people's OCs, also my art and content are NOT hurting anyone.

4: Impatient people: There are people who can be very impatient with me when I do requests for them whenever I took a break, where they will say "How's my request?" Or "What's taking so long with my request?", and they will ask the same question over and over again, which will get very annoying.

5: Life: Same as reason 2, I am a human being with real thoughts and feelings who has a life to live.

6: Bullies: There are bullies who would trick me into doing requests that would harm either me or other people. In the past that took place in 2009-2011 on DeviantArt, I was requested by a cyberbully who's a Happy Tree Friends fan to draw hate art of me *Which I didn't do*, another incident is where there was another cyberbully who's an HTF fan too that tricked me into doing an art trade with them, I did a pic of their HTF OC in SFW art while I asked for a SFW HTF art featuring my old HTF OC and one of the characters from that said show, the finished art they did for me was hate art of me *In a form of NSFW art that violates DeviantArt's rules that I NEVER asked for* that was kink shaming and what they did to me was sadistic, wrong, fetish shaming, and cyberbullying. The legion of HTF cyberbullies were the reasons why I no longer love Happy Tree Friends, and also one of the many reasons I don't do requests and art trades anymore.

And finally....

7: Ridiculous requests: Same as reasons 1 and 6, people will just request something stupid, hurtful, impossible to me, or even something that makes me severely uncomfortable, I can't say no because I don't have a voice and even if I did, they'll just attack me, such as bullies making false assumptions about me, especially in 2009-2011 where they claim I'm 8 years old when I'm not.

Please stop coming to my page for art, I am NOT your mindless source of free art, it's extremely rude and disrespectful, I have a life to live, so please STOP treating me like an art slave and save your requests, art trades, and commissions for someone else who ACTUALLY does either of them, and please, have respect for artists next time.
