I Might Seem Like A Cunt...

But...I have my reasons :)

Hello All :hug: :wave:

So, I have been getting alot of people asking me about my art, such as how I make my blood & how I do something, or how I make a wound. And many more. And I am flattered that people like my work sooo much and they want to know how I do things. But I have my reasons for not answering your questions.


I have worked soooo hard to get my art, my style & my work to this point. And I take a great amount of pride, love & respect in it. And so when someone just randomly asks me for my blood mixture, it kinda pisses me off. But I am calm & nice about it when I tell them that I will not tell them. Then once they get pissy, I get painfully blunt.

I have worked sooo hard, put in many hours, tried things just to have them fail. But I kept working. And working, through trial & error to get the result I wanted. And so when someone asks me, I think its rather rude; that some people just expect me to give them the secrets & tips I worked soo hard to get, and to learn myself. Just because they want the "easy" way to do something. Or they are too lazy to fiddle around and learn for themselves. And to those people FUCK YOU! Art is NOT about copying others, your supposed to make your own style, do your own thing, and create yourself & your talents, your own way. I have done that. And MANY other people I know how here have done it too.

Theres a fine line between flattery & rudeness.
And I have seen flattery and I have seen rudeness.

When someone asks me, and I tell them why I will not tell them how I do certain things. They understand, and tell me that they do. Because they wanted to know, and asked me, but weren't pissed off about my answer. But when someone walks right into being rude, when I gave them an honest answer, is just childish. Grow up.

I am sorry. But this is how I am.
I take soooo much pride in my work, and to have someone come up to me, expecting me to just hand them something I worked soo hard & long to get, is just bullshit. So I refuse to let someone get something that means the world to me, for free.

I worked, I deserve to be this way when it comes to my art.
And you can think I am a cunt, I don't give a shit.

Atleast I am honest.
And thats better then just ignoring you altogether.


I have told a select few people different things, BUT
Those select few have been talking to me for a long time. And so therefore, they have shown me they are trust worthy and actual friends. And not just another person trying to score something free of me, because they are too lazy to learn through trial & error!


So....therefore, ya want to know how I do something or how I make my blood? Too bad, Because a true artist never reveals their secrets!


:D End of story! But I do want to thank you, because I do appreciate being asked, but, when people get pissy about my answer, is when I get pissy about the question :nod:


Love ya all, I really do :glomp:

Take Care
:heart: :kiss:

You're not being a cunt. It's just like a magician - never reveal your secrets.

You tell em Sheri :D You are who you are and in that I have always admired your straight forward blunt honesty :) You should be able to keep what is yours secret because at the end of the day if you give away all your secrets you loose that thing that make your work unique and different :) So I agree somethings are best kept for yourself ;P
Keep up the great work Sheri! :glomp:
:smooch: :rose: ;P :heart:

:iconblame-the-messenger:
I really enjoy your work and I agree that you don't want to tell the secrets. I also understand the people that are curious to know them but it is indeed rude to get mad when you tell these people you're not gonna tell the secrets.
but I guess you just gotta keep up the good work and just ignore these people
