WOAAHHHHH WTF? Drama llama.

I tried to explain but they decided they hate me so it doesn't matter what I say or do so I don't give a fuck anymore xD

1 dollars a month... They can't even spare 1 dollars... Some patreon ask 20$ a month to be able to view their arts yet you offer good quality for 1 measly dolar and they complain... Well like I say "Greed is one of the 7 deadly sin"

Interesting is putting it mildly.

Is not that I take it personally, it's that it has been going on for half a year. I tried to ignore it but it gets really annoying.

I do find the moderation on that site to be rather...interesting. It might have something to do with the fact that it originally came from a group that was kicked off Wikipedia for a 'child porn scandal' that (from what I saw investigating it a few years ago) seemed to be a bit overblown and yet there were a few problematic things, and as you know these days you can never be too careful when it comes to that stuff, or even allegations, thereof.

The thing to remember, Zani, is that animeotk does have lots of newbies and lurkers who don't know your history ON that site, let alone off it on places like DA or Facebook. Doesn't excuse them for being jerks of course, and doesn't excuse a name you recognize from ALSO being at AOTK for awhile from acting entitled but if you remember that, it might help you take some of it less personally.

I know that at least my prices aren't like other artists, when I started, I charged like, 10 for a picture and 30 for a comic. Now that I've improved I can charge more.

WOW I'd love to see it one day! Sounds epic and awesome. Of course not everybody would understand why something like that would cost that much.

I've been there just as long. You have no idea how much it means to me to know that there is people that do like what I do. I also think 12 a year is not really that much, is the whole patreon thing! When I struggled with money I launched my page and I live nicely now.

I had to reupload them somewhere else. I'll send you the link.

Bunch of entitled pricks. I am very grateful for every single person that gives me even a dollar to keep going.

Of course people might go and say "well supply and demand dictates and people might not want to pay over 200€ for a pair of socks". I say "then don't" but when you complain about people charging money for art in any form, your complaining obviously represent some kind of demand. If this is the case, you should really take some time to ponder if the price (which almost always is really low when it comes to art/handycrafts) is that outrageous. Keep up the good work Zani and know that there are people who think what you are doing is worth far more than what you are asking.

I live in Sweden and I love live action role-playing. Nordic larpers take their hobby quite seriously and Viking larp, which I go to, usually involve loads of people making historically accurate Viking clothes, jewlery and armour. A friend of mine who does handycrafts for a living posted a fantastic picture of a pair of knitted socks with the text: " it took 10.5 hours to knit these socks and the yarn cost 8 €. The average salary in Norway is 24.2 € an hour. (Cost of socks 10.5 × 24.2 + 80 = 262.1 €). Our price for the socks is 12 € which comes down to 0.38€ an hour. You are saving 250 €

Hi, I have been a lurker on animeotk for about 6-7 years I think, and I have always loved your artwork. I got bummed for about 15 seconds whrn I saw that your art was cencored, a reaction attributed to the fact that something I adore got locked away from me. But after those 15 seconds of bumming out the metacognitive perspective kicked in; "there is probably a good reason Zani is doing this and the work being put into these pieces of art is worth loads most than a measly 12$ a year".

Wow this is mad crazy! T's why I only look at the gallery pics and not the comments people are idiots to put it mildly. The struggle is real out here, you gottta do what you gotta do gurl and just keep on doing it! Just think of your supports and keep trickin!
