@clayinthecarpet sounds like fun
Saturday, 17-May-14 03:23:22 UTC from web -
@clayinthecarpet all the stuff i do is mostly free except my youtube banners and desktop wall papers cause those things i spend over 48 hours of work into just to get the desired look or what looks apsolutly amazing and every commision comes with the final one and a temp stand in while i finish so they can't complain. and i only change $10. so they get a good deal if you ask me
Saturday, 17-May-14 03:25:56 UTC from web-
@mlpxcarbon Examples of your $10 work?
Saturday, 17-May-14 03:27:02 UTC from web-
@clayinthecarpet this was a finished product: http://rainbowdash.net/url/760358
this is a stand in: http://rainbowdash.net/url/760359Saturday, 17-May-14 03:28:15 UTC from web -
@clayinthecarpet and those two were free i havn't got any paid ones yest cause i didn't accept their payments they were offering. they were willing to pay $30 for one and i said no cause thats way to much for a banner.

@mlpxcarbon Money is important. Accept the $30 next time. Holy apples.
Saturday, 17-May-14 03:30:21 UTC from web-
@clayinthecarpet srry i don't like ripping people of when they can get the same quality for half what they were offering
Saturday, 17-May-14 03:31:03 UTC from web-
@mlpxcarbon Why do you feel you're ripping people off? You said you spent 48 hours on that one banner
Saturday, 17-May-14 03:31:48 UTC from web-
@clayinthecarpet i had to make sure it was perfect. i have a nact for detail. kinda like rarity it has to be perfect

@mlpxcarbon Time is worth money, brodude.
Saturday, 17-May-14 03:33:12 UTC from web-
@clayinthecarpet ik i just don't personaly think my stuff is worth much and most of my work i have given for free cause i didn't have payment set up.
Saturday, 17-May-14 03:34:45 UTC from web-
@mlpxcarbon Have pride in what you do. I give my stuff away because I think someone DESERVES my talent for nothing, not because I devalue my work and myself for creating it. TAKE THE REIGNS, MANG.
Saturday, 17-May-14 03:37:03 UTC from web-
@clayinthecarpet i have some really demotivating art teachers in the past so my physical drawing skillz have diminished and i don't give myself any grace when i do make somthing that looks good. like my mother responce to all my art is "ugh".
Saturday, 17-May-14 03:38:58 UTC from web-
@mlpxcarbon Your mother is crappy towards all that and your art teachers are worthless. Teaching art is worthless. Useless. Someone will do what they do regardless of what you say, and they're just making you devalue what you're going to do and like to do because they think it's a waste of time. Their Opinions Do Not Matter.
Saturday, 17-May-14 03:41:17 UTC from web-
@clayinthecarpet Untrue. Art teachers are good when they focus on technique and history of art, and some focus on expression (whilst expression isn't something I particularly care for it is appealing to angry dudes like you I guess)
Saturday, 17-May-14 03:44:52 UTC from web-
@nerthos That's true. Art history is one thing, but dictating how to express oneself "properly" is another.
Saturday, 17-May-14 03:46:01 UTC from web-
@clayinthecarpet I won't get in a discussion about expression because sincerely I don't care about it, but my point is that there's good and bad art teachers like with any assignment.
Saturday, 17-May-14 03:47:15 UTC from web-
@nerthos I do agree with that. My point was just that you can't teach anyone *now* how to "create art"...Art is so subjective. It can be valid to anyone who finds it valid. I've had people tell me that even my stuff affected them deeply and they love it, and it's just ponies. Doesn't that make my art valid? However, it would not be a valid expression to some teachers who stress rigid adherence to manufactured rules they've conjured out of thin air and collective perception of a small group.
Saturday, 17-May-14 03:49:27 UTC from web-
@clayinthecarpet Adherence to stupid rules isn't exclusive to art, it happens in a bunch of areas.
Saturday, 17-May-14 03:50:42 UTC from web-
@nerthos Yep. That, too.

@mlpxcarbon I mean, at least charge like $5. That's nothing.
Saturday, 17-May-14 03:38:53 UTC from web-
@clayinthecarpet ya i see were your getting at. i just havn't released a speed art in a long time or even got my name out their
Saturday, 17-May-14 03:39:40 UTC from web-
@mlpxcarbon Take it from a seasoned vet at being an asshole to anyone who disagrees with your methods of expressing yourself. None of that matters. Value what you do. Time is money.
Saturday, 17-May-14 03:42:30 UTC from web-
@clayinthecarpet well i ignore my mom any ways but it's just my art teachers got to me thats y i only post my stuff on da or my facebook were people only comment or like it if they acctualy like it

@mlpxcarbon I've spent 50 hours on drawings that I wouldn't sell for less than $500.

@mlpxcarbon Man, if someone offers you "way too much" you should take it. :v
