[QUOTE="Meatboy, post: 6235442, member: 40857"] I am an artistic person, if not an artist. These days when time allows it I draw stuff for people for free. Usually rpg character sketches. I have also done free work in the past that has been published. I am not sure if the "Art Pact" is a good thing or not but I feel that getting paid for your work is a good thing. Too often when someone wants to pay in "exposure" they aren't in a position themselves to offer exposure. Please remember getting work done for you IRL costs money. You can't get a plumber over to fix your toilet with promises. The same should go for creative types. If you can't afford to pay them, you can't afford the art. P.S. the reason never entered the arts was because people always seemed to undervalue the most expensive part. Time. I watched friends, with more talent than I had, slave away on a picture for days for a hundred dollars. If you put that into hourly wage their a people in third world sweatshops making better money :S [/QUOTE]
