I have discovered lately that saying you take requests on Deviant Art is a double edged sword and once said it is not easily taken back. It opens a door to a very weird side of the internet as well. Some of the stuff people request even after explicitly stating safe for work is well... surprising. Then you have the list people...they want so and so with so and so and can you somehow work in this person too and this random character sitting on them? By the end of reading it I have no idea what they even asked for. Not to say that I haven't had interesting things to draw too. After my few weeks of opening requests on there I find I already need a small break from the onslaught of randomness. I've already done one request that I had to tell myself it was requested by "a poor cancer ridden child at St. Judes" in order to finish. Was the person actually...no idea and probably not, but the image did help me manage to grit my teeth and see the project through to the end. So I guess the lesson learned is one that many before me have already learned of be careful what you wish for.
