Art Schooled

My pitiful failure of a comic needed some reviving. That's why I thought of maybe paying someone to color it in for me. If I didn't have to worry about coloring it, then I could already start drawing and tracing the next one. Man that would be exciting.

The only website I knew of that had commission hire postings, but was still a little informal was DeviantArt.com So I posted the job. Color my 20 small pictures for a stupid comic and I pay you $30 (in more detail than that). I thought it seemed simple enough, but boy was I wrong! Apparently a lot of people don't actually read what jobs are being offered and just 'copy-paste' reply "I'm interested. Here's my gallery [link]." So when I started contacting these people who responded to my post, I managed to offend all of them. Was I really only paying $30? How insulting! What! You answered my ad! Despite all my best efforts to be as polite as possible, in flows the hate mail. If you didn't like the offer, then don't respond or at least make a recommendation! Artists are weird!
