Hey there, it's Nick.

And it's Leah.

Real quick thing before we get going.

Did you know that we have a new benefit on Patreon?

I did know.

Yes.

So if you want an ad-free version of our show, you of course can continue signing up for Wolf's Plus exclusively on Apple Podcasts.

But you can now get the same benefit when you join us on Patreon as a moon howler or higher.

A moon howler. I just want to be a moon howler. I am a moon howler. You are a moonhaller. Yes. Yes. You are the very definition. You're the model moonhauler. Boy, do I moon howl. Also, you're not only getting the ad-free version. You're also getting all of our Patreon content. Oh yeah. I mean, there's tons of bonus content, which you've never seen if you haven't joined us on Patreon. So please either join us on Wolves Plus through Apple Podcasts or join us on Patreon.

Come Moon Howl.

Hey, everybody. It's Nick Layton. And it's Leah Bonima. And we had so many great questions from you all in the wilderness.

Oh!

That, we have a bonus episode, so here we go.

Our first question is, quote,

I am a character artist who very rarely gives away art for free.

Recently, I drew a character for a new friend to surprise them.

They received it well at first, showering it in compliments, and I was delighted by the feedback.

Twenty minutes later, however, I get a text asking if I'd be willing to, quote, make adjustments

on the gift. My personal stance is that if you want an artwork to be tailored to your

exact specifications, you pay for it, as I didn't have to make them anything in the first place.

It comes across that they do not value my time, and it nullifies the compliments they gave earlier,

now that I know what they truly think. Had it been a commission or even a trade, I would be more than happy to make changes. Am I the only one who finds this rude? I feel like it's an unspoken rule of the art world. How on earth do I respond? I do not like this, Nick. No, no, it's rude. It is so rude. Also, I think this is a spoken rule of the art world. It's not unspoken. It's spoken. Absolutely. Yeah. I mean, basically, it's sort of like, thank you so much for the gift. I have notes. I have notes. So, yeah, this is rude. And I think you are totally within your rights to be annoyed by this.
