No more B-day pics

Fri Sep 25, 2009, 5:17 AM
just bringing in a quick announcement and a little explanation, please read this fully before asking questions.

as you might have seen i've occassionally done birthday drawings for friends that are close to me. Lately more and more people were wondering if i do birthday pics for them. in the beginning i was fine with it, but the amount of drawings i would have to make for all the friends i know is getting too large... ive received a lot of people's hints saying their b-day is coming up in hopes of getting stuff for free, while some i hardly even know. thats one of the others reasons im stopping this as well. its almost like im drawing more for the people than im drawing this for myself. hence my decision:

i wont be doing any more birthday pictures. i only have a little list left of the ones i still need and want to do (the ones who get one will most probably know) but afterwards im gonna slow down on it big time.

this doesnt really mean im not quitting it entirely... no i will still do it for friends if I FEEL LIKE IT... so basically b-day drawings will simply become a more rare thing instead of something people are counting on when their b-day is coming up.

now the only thing i want people (mostly my friends) to know is that they shouldnt take this the wrong way; if you dont get one, that doesnt mean youre not a friend of mine... i just have other stuff to do as well and i dont always have time to get things done. even if you say i can take all time it will be hard cause then i would have yet another thing on my to do list, just filling up my head.

so in the end i hope people will understand this decision.


p.s. i updated my site with gift art i received from others, go take a look! :)

Well that makes sense, It'd be just ludicrous to give any stranger who came through crying birthday a request.

Thanks for letting me know. But really though, I don't mind if I don't receive a birthday pic. It is very welcome if you do. So no worries man. ^^

Sounds like a logical step to me. Hopefully others will understand too.
