Description "'I don't do requests' also means that I'm not interested in your idea, suggestion, recommendation or 'just saying' either."





Some people like to ask other artists to draw them stuff for free. I don't like it, but this stamp isn't about that (there already are some of those [link] [link] ). This stamp is about people who try to get away with their request by playing with words. Like "can you draw me dbz? just a suggestion" "I was just wondering if you could draw bleach?" "not a request, but have you heard of kingdom hearts? I think it'd be fun if you drew it."

It's one thing if you send me requests when I've said I don't do them. But it's even more annoying if you try to pass yourself as some friendly helper who kindly suggests that I should draw some series because I couldn't possibly think of how to waste my free time myself, and of course the only reason you're sharing your awesome idea is that you genuinely only think of how much fun I'd have drawing it and the fact that the series in question just happens to be one you like is purely coincidental~~~

Sure, there are artists who do take requests and like getting ideas from other people. That is cool. But there are also people who don't, and you should just accept that. If someone says "I don't take requests", I think it's a bit unlikely that they'll draw you whatever you want just because you were smart enough not to use the word "request".

Or are you seriously expecting something like this:
"Can you draw me [insert your favourite series here]?"
"I don't do requests."
"It was just a suggestion."
"Oh, that changes everything! Why didn't you say it right away, I'll start at once!"

And no, this stamp isn't about constructive criticism. There is a difference between "You draw feet too large, I suggest you study anatomy a bit more" and "I suggest that you draw _____ which just coincidentally happens to be my favourite series!".

You did so much dress up games from anime. Can you do dress up "Bleach"? I would be grateful I love your games, arts and everything. I greet.

If your art is dress ups, then yes.

If it's not it's very unlikely that I'd have anything proper to say.

Usually when people make stamps like this it irritates but I can see where your coming from. The stamp and description may come off as harsh but you still managed to keep your cool about it while telling everyone why this stamp was made. It can be frustrating and disheartening to have people seem to ignore the F.A.Q and constant reminder that you don't do something. Some people think this stamp is rude, this is nothing compared to the outbursts of popular artists over trivial things that weren't even provoked. You can only say no nicely to people for so long before losing your patience.

Heh. Some part of me wants to make a sarcastic comment, but my snarky meter is dead today.

I've had something similar happen, when people suggest I write something in a genre I don't even like, but [i]they[/i] do. Although I also admit I am half-guilty to the above form of suggestion, but I tend to do it if the artist's art resembles the art I refer them to. For instance, a friend of mine draws sketches that look really like they could be from Bleach, in style and look but she [i][b]hates[/i][/b] most anime, and doesn't even look at it. Either way, I got her to watch and draw bleach .

Sorry, got distracted there. So I suppose, what I am trying to say...I hope that sometimes making suggestions like that with a reasonable cause wouldn't make you or another artist angry! I think this rant/comment is more me worried about accidentally making someone angry...

Either way, I suppose I both agree and disagree, but I respect your statement! Have a nice day.

Keatyne [2012-04-26 23:49:51 +0000 UTC]

I believe the same way. Like if some one gives you an idea for a dress up game... they shouldn't just say "You should do a [insert show or some nonsense] dress up game...."
It should be more like this:
I realize for a while know you have been trying to do a magical girl dress up game so i found you some reference to help you get idea!
[*Gives reference*]
or even this i find okay;
so i know alot of your fans are in to monster stuff so how about a monster creator? got some reference for you!

I really don't mind requests as long as alot of fans want it. I don't know..... maybe its just me.

Hapuriainen In reply to Keatyne [2012-04-27 03:01:10 +0000 UTC]

I see the "I know you're doing a dress up of ___, here's some reference" perfectly ok. "your fans like so-and-so but you've never shown any interest in it, so here's some reference"... not so much. Plenty of people have sent me suggestions like this, explaining how a subject of their choice would earn me so much popularity, which is exactly what this stamp is about.

Keatyne In reply to Hapuriainen [2012-04-28 04:28:09 +0000 UTC]

I really understand how you feel because people from my school always ask for me to draw them pictures and such. I really get me mad when i tell them i don't do fanart, and they ask me to do a series or characters from a series i hate. that just pisses me off. I prefer to do portraits or oragnial work.

This. While it's nice to appeal to your audience, in the end you're the one who has to enjoy what you're doing. I can't say I know the feeling from experience, but I can imagine how dreadfully annoying it would be.

There is no reason for you to be angry. You have only been on deviant art for 2 weeks. I'm not trying to be mean. Your comment and the fact that you are so angry makes me believe that you were one of the people requesting something. *Hapuriainen wasn't trying to be cruel, but just trying to get the point across to those who might not have gotten it yet. You might not have read the bio so it could have been just an accident/small misunderstanding on your part. Once gain, I'm not trying to be mean. I'm just trying to show you why you shouldn't be upset.

Maybe it wouldn't be so negative if people read her F.A.Q before asking the same questions over, and over again.

I don't believe she was trying to be 'rude' in her replies. If you read them, she just says, "This has been answered in the F.A.Q..".


If you had a bunch of people coming on your page asking you to take time out of your life to draw them something, you wouldn't be too happy either.

Cruel to her watchers? Shes making games for everyone and yet it seems like you don't appreciate it. If you have such a problem with her attitude, take it up with her. We'll see if you get far. Lmfao.

Fioletowooka In reply to AVPMismylife [2012-04-25 21:25:40 +0000 UTC]

Well, I guess if you 'just watch and don't bother' then the message isn't directed at you
Also, if you take a stroll through her dress ups you basically notice she gets one request per day, I imagine it can get irritating after 4 years in the business.

I 100% agree with you.

I can understand both sides of the story. Hapuriainen has her own ideas, that she wants to do. And she's not into doing requests. But, that doesn't give her the right to get an attitude about it. Some people might not know her "I don't take requests" policy and end up getting snapped at for not knowing. However, her watchers aren't innocent either. Some do know of her policy and try to weasel their way into getting what they want, and that's not cool.

Wow, you're pretty fired up about this. Is it because this behavior from your watchers has been escalating lately, or is it, like, just leftover loathing for people bugging you about it so much in the past?

By the way, have you heard of Naruto, it's like the best series ever, you should draw Hinata and add her to all of your dress-ups, just a suggestion.
