I understand the rules above, but I have a question. As long as I credit you am I allowed to draw fanart? I know it bothers some people, so I felt the need to ask so I don't bother you.

(sorry in advance for my bad english TWT) i just finished reading your artist note and i kinda understand your feeling ? :S people on the internet can be rude for no reason. that's why i don't really post my art and i don't trust many people. because i'm a little scare of what other can say and make me feel... :/ anyway i also understand the fact that you ask us to stop asking free art. you aren't supposed to do art because other tell you to but because you feel it and i think it's really great that you decided to make it stop. poeple must understand that there is still a person behind the computer. i really hope for you that evrybody that follow you will read this message and understand your feeling. because that's important to 'feeling'

I'm sorry that this is happening to you. It must be difficult. I feel terrible, I've just commented a bunch and I know I thought about asking you if I could do a study of your work because I really admire your anatomy (just for my own reference, not to put up anywhere) but I can't remember if I have or not already. If I have please disregard it, I do not wish to go against your wishes.

Awwh, I'm sorry to hear that you get this kinda stuff alot :s
Honestly I stayed away from your page for a while because undertale became a touchy subject - but on coming back I've found that I do enjoy alot of your work - undertale related or not - because you put so much heart into it ^.^ It's good to see that youll speak up about such conserns.

Even the one bit of this that I see MANY complaints from artists about that I myself cannot in good conscience agree with is still not portrayed in a preachy way. If anything, this is the most understanding and mature approach to 'please respect me as an artist' that I've seen. It's irritating enough watching people do these sorts of things, I can only imagine how it feels to have them done TO you. You have every right to make requests of the people you're going to be talking to, and your choice to simply remove people who irritate you from your life is appropriate and healthy. I like the part where you mention that people are free to do as they please, but if they do THESE things, YOU won't like them and will not react kindly to the things they do. That's a great way to portray this kind of situation. The consequence of being a jerk to some one is that they won't like you, and won't react well if you try to talk to them. I like it.

People are doing this crap that much? Wow. I thought I was a 'child' in terms of internet maturity, but I guess not.

You're not being as preachy as you think you sound. Sometimes you just have to push the rules in peoples faces to get them to knock it off.

Aw Usa-chan *hugs* I'm sorry people have been giving you a rough time. Let me know if I need to knock some heads around ok? I already felt bad that things in my "real" world had gotten crazy and I had dropped out of contact, but knowing you've had such a difficult time with people makes it worse. I was actually thinking earlier this week that I wanted to talk to you again. A lot has happened, and I wanted to catch up. But right now, I mostly want to make sure everything is ok on your end. I have still followed your comics/art, but I usually only had time to read a page and not time to comment (well, you know how long I consider a "default" comment to be, so it does take time to type). I think I will work on commenting a bit more, can't promise it will be every piece, but it sounds like you could use more people to give you honest, good comments. And you know I'm always in your corner. Even if I drop off the radar from time to time, I hope you know I still consider you a dear friend and I worry about you a lot. Before this post I was mostly worried about your hand and you pushing yourself a bit to hard. Now I worry about the way people are treating you as well. You deserve... buckets of respect, or something, I don't know it sounded better in my head >_<. On the bright side, judging from the comments here, you have a lot of friends who care about you. For you I mean, not just for your art, or for something you could give them or do for them. Its good to see that. I still worry about you of course, but it makes me worry a little less to know you have others in your corner to. Oh, and don't ever think you need to apologize for voicing how you feel. As they say "The people who mind don't matter, and the people who matter, don't mind". You have every right to vent your frustrations, I just wish more people saw this who are the subject of it. I do hope you feel a bit better though, getting some of that off your chest. And if not, I have a lot of hugs I can supply until you do feel better. ^_^

Sorry, as usual, for my wall-o-text. Feel free to send a message if you want to catch up, you know a few ways to reach me. And if you ever just want to talk, or to vent, you know I'll lend an ear. I'm going to work more on keeping in touch with my friends now, even if life gets super busy. Take care of yourself, Usa-chan. I'll send as many happy thoughts your way as I can ~_^

I hope this piece will get people's attention because regardless of how you see yourself, the community here knows you are a sweet and wonderful person, Tekichan. Many of us do care about you and how you are doing, and it's sad to see so many people trying to take advantage of your energy and kind nature. 

I hope you're doing better this weekend.

I'm so sorry that people are trying to take advantage of you and use you. It's true that a couple of bad apples ruins the bunch and it sucks because there are people who truly just want to be nice and do care for you and for others. (I kinda hope I fall into that latter but I know I am not always responsive online ahhhhh) 

I never understood why people think they are entitled to free art. It's a skill and a craft you have worked on for years. No one just picks up a pencil and is perfect at drawing. It takes years of practice and you're always improving. It's like when you start to work on cars, computers, or sewing, you don't know everything off the bat and you have to learn. All of these are not just hobbies but can be jobs as well, and we don't expect free car repairs/computer repairs/ outfits and clothes. You have to pay for it. You have to pay to play man. The examples of exceptions works for all jobs/hobbies too. I mean if a person was an stylist, you don't get a haircut for free just because "You like the way they use those shears" You have to pay and that's exactly what you should do.

If they aren't accepting new customers/commissions/whatever, then you're out of luck. If you truly want something, keep an eye out for an opening and THEN show support by requesting for paid worked. Why is this so hard to understand?

I am really sorry people are harassing you and your other art friends and I hope that the many of us that do support and love what you do (FOR FREE NO LESS HERE ON DEVIANTART) and what those other artists do as well. True fans wouldn't demand work from you.

Much love towards you and your own okay?! <3

Reallymaxreal [2017-07-22 02:45:22 +0000 UTC]

Youre so strong Teki, I know you'll step over the damage they caused.
You deserve real friends. Real people who really care, and they exist, even admist the bad apples. Focus on the people you trust: they will help you through this. No one in their right mind could be upset that you need time to warm up to others, don't like their selfish actions, or wont draw a piece for them. If they do, they are just trash. Walk over them and forget it happened because you are so much better than this.

And to those who persist for some reason. Just take a chill pill.
If you have to plot, then you had to tactically skeme a form of manipulation to over ride a good person's already set mind. And playing the guilt card is childish. Teki is hurt for crying out loud!!! Be thankful for the work she does provide!!! She has already given us more than we deserve from her!!!

Stay strong Teki, and keep speaking up when something bothers you. We want to hear and help you out, wether its simething we did ourselves or not

I'm so sorry you have to spend time telling people things that should be obvious.

One of the reasons I love following your art so much is because you are not only super talented, but you also are so kind and generous, and always go out of your way to interact with and include the SecuriTale community so much. You (and all artists) 100% deserve to be respected.
