Sup?
It's been a while since I've visited Wattpad and one thing I'd like to talk about. Now, I have no issues with artists offering their services. I'd really like to see someone create some kind of digital art for the sake of fun and enjoyment. But it's kind of counter-intuitive when you offer services and then make me reach out to strike a deal.
I'll consider an artist's offer if they can show me a portfolio of their works aside from reaching out first. I'm not too picky with art styles but I ask for a portfolio to confirm you're not a fake account or some kind of scammer.
The second is that they ACTUALLY read the fanfic and not offering me lip service. I'm a writer babe. I can write myself my own pretty words if I want to.
If I have the time, I'll reach out. In exchange, you'll have to answer a question about the fanfic to confirm that you're not just making an empty endorsement. I won't ask too deep or philosophical questions tho. You'll answer it in no time if you've read.
A digital art collaboration is not a huge priority for me since it's still just a fanfic in the end. But hey, if you're genuinely interested and the fanfics really struck a cord in you, I'll consider it. My only reason for writing is that I enjoy it. I don't want to ruin that.
Bottomline is I'll consider collaboration if:
1. You provide your contact deets. I prefer gmail because my DC has been behaving funny recently.
2. Provide a link to your portfolio/past works you are proudest of.
3. You answer the question I ask you.
4. Most importantly, you're not an asshole. I want to be friends with people, okay? Collaborations and deals are best if both parties get along well.
That's all I can say for now. I hope my intentions are interpreted clearly and the message gets across to the right people. Let's continue to have fun and take it easy, okay? :3
