2:30 PMzodd95welcome back!
2:34 PMSimoneilGuardianothanks
2:59 PMSimoneilGuardianook, end for today
3:00 PMzodd95all righty, take care!
3:00 PMSimoneilGuardianosee you tomorrow
7:44 PMAlexaphyrhello hello!
7:44 PMzodd95hey there!
7:44 PMAlexaphyrWhat'cha making today?
7:45 PMzodd95still working on the comic, page 9 now
7:45 PMzodd95though i still have to finish page 7 and 8
7:46 PMAlexaphyrAwesome! It's coming along pretty quick!
7:46 PMzodd95well i dunno about that. it's the shading i have to do, which is what takes foreber
7:46 PMzodd95what're you working on?
7:47 PMAlexaphyrTrue true
7:47 PMAlexaphyrI just have some request stuff that I'm working on
7:47 PMAlexaphyrIt's practice more or less
7:47 PMAlexaphyrBut I get some pretty interesting requests
7:47 PMAlexaphyr:O :)
7:48 PMAlexaphyrThis one is the 10th doctor + Arnold from Hey Arnold, fighting a slime snake monster from the aladdin tv show...
7:48 PMAlexaphyrSeems a little too specific xD
7:48 PMAlexaphyrBut *shrugs*
7:48 PMzodd9510 different people wanted that?
7:49 PMAlexaphyrhaha, nah, doctor who
7:49 PMzodd95oh i get it
7:49 PMzodd95i misread
7:50 PMzodd95was gonna say....
7:50 PMzodd95well, people want what they want, i guess
7:50 PMAlexaphyrhaha, no worries
7:50 PMAlexaphyrI guess xD
7:51 PMzodd95i remember opening up for requests, i thought it'd be sorta a good way to get myself out there, buuuut people suddenly became completely uninterested when they learned i wasn't making artwork for free anymore
7:51 PMAlexaphyrhaha, yeah that's a thing
7:51 PMzodd95it was pretty daunting, anyway
7:51 PMAlexaphyrOne day they'll realize, people have the bills
7:51 PMAlexaphyrI bet ;o;
7:54 PMzodd95in my naivety, i think i thought if i took a bunch of requests, that would translate eventually to commissions
7:55 PMzodd95but, uh, it didn't
7:55 PMzodd95it translated to "requests? can i have too?"
7:55 PMAlexaphyrright
7:55 PMAlexaphyr"FREE FOOD"
7:55 PMzodd95i underestimated the cheapness of people
7:55 PMzodd95exactly!
7:55 PMAlexaphyr"Can I have food too?"
7:56 PMAlexaphyrIn the end people will pay, but requesters aren't the right audience for that all the time
7:56 PMAlexaphyrI know someone who does "pay what you want for the request"
7:56 PMAlexaphyrnot a lot of income that way, but you get some people who are nice
7:56 PMzodd95yeah, that sounds like a better idea
7:57 PMAlexaphyrIn the end, if you charge a price, and have good marketing, someone will pay a price if they like your style
7:58 PMzodd95that's true. it was a learning experience, if nothing else
7:58 PMAlexaphyrright, and I think that's good at times too
7:58 PMAlexaphyrlearn what you don't want to do
7:58 PMAlexaphyr:D
7:58 PMAlexaphyrI talk to a lot of people, and get to learn from their experiences too
7:58 PMAlexaphyrand in that way can also share their experiences, you know?
7:59 PMAlexaphyrSo one day we can all get gud
7:59 PMzodd95yeah, exactly!
8:35 PMAlexaphyrNice chatting with you again! We'll probably do it again soon! :)
8:35 PMAlexaphyrLater!
8:36 PMzodd95 all righty! take care, football-head!
