Alright some one on here, has rightfully pointed out a negative thing I do on this website through a journal. And it's pretty obvious what the answer is. Constant requesting. 

For those who don't know, I request alot of free artwork, alot! And I acknowledge it's a greedy thing to do yes. However just because I do that doesn't make me a bad guy.

First and foremost, I been trying to stop my requesting spree habit, and actually been trying to pay for artists work, or do Art trades. I still have some that aren't done but I will get to them eventually, I promise. 

Secondly, I'm not the bad guy here. Every person has the right to say no to you if you ask them a favor, I never harrass, attack, block, or bully artists into doing my request, if I did that wouldn't be nice, it be disrespectful, and I would look like an asshole doing it. Asking for requests is greedy yes, but at least if you say no, I get it, I won't ask you again (If I did, then I prob forgot that I did the first time around, I have a bad memory), and I will respect your wishes. There are some requesters who do bully people into giving them free art if they get rejected, and that's wrong.

Thirdly, if someone already accepted my request, but if they updated me that they have a real life problem like illness, death in there life, or just way too busy, I will tell them they can stop my request, and I will thank them for the time and whatever effort they put in.

I hope you don't consider me some kind of devil for this. I mean for all of DA's problems, I'm minor compared to the art thieves, trolls, harrassers, cyber bullies, hackers etc that plauge this site.

But I know there's no excuse for my own decisions, I've been limiting my request taking for months now. Just recently it got a bit out of control.  I blame no one for this but myself. I promise to stop this addiction, and will only for a little at a time.

To those who are annoyed by me for this, you have every right to feel this way, and I don't blame you. If you have done free artwork for me, or you're in the process of doing so, I ain't stopping you from dropping them. That's your right since it's free artwork. I don't want to make someone mad.

Thank you all, and god bless.

I think some people misunderstood you as I did times ago :iconheplz:
Anyway, I hope you to get out from this situation :) What happens to let them angry is that, like any normal person, you sometimes forget to check your notes. They think you're ignoring them ^^; I did the same mistake.
But, as you said in a note when I got angry, you didn't mean it. Sadly, it's not everyone who understands it :XD:
And I don't find it greedy from you; I guess that, internally, you want to see your characters in different styles. That's pretty cool, actually :D
And I still feeling guilty for what I said ^^; Oh geez…
