Really REALLY REALLY amazing! May I ask though why you don't give others a pattern? What if they don't sell them, maybe they just want to make one for themselves. Seems a bit selfish, but oh well...Nice work. :I
I suppose your right, but could you at least be a bit nicer about it? I mean, instead of whining about how "its not fair" for you to "work" for free, which, you obviously did this on your own time anyways, you might as well just give out the pattern even for a fee. I know you say you never will, but I'm trying to make a point here. BE GENERALLY NICE. xD
You called her selfish and she's the one not being nice?
She sells her plushies. That makes designing the pattern for them work in every sense of the word. She was not whining at all. Asking someone to do hours of work for you for free is ridiculous and is not fair to the artist at all. That's not whining. It's a fact.
No, because YOU were the one whining that i'm being "selfish" about not working for free. YOU were the one expecting a handout from my hard work. It's rude to come along and tell people that you are being selfish for keeping your pattern. Go ask almost any pony plush maker that didn't design a free pattern or one they sell (and most times, that pattern is different than the one they use every day to make their own plush) and see what they say. I guarantee they will tell you the same exact thing.
Yes? Well that is because your all mean artsy people who don't know how the real world works. I'm sorry, but you can't say you are "working" for free if its not working, your just doing it in your spare time. Again, you could at least be a little nicer about it. If I had your skill, I would have people pay for the pattern or just plain give it to them. Maybe I'm just really nice, but its not like your going to sell it anyways. :/
Well then there is a reason you DON'T have her skill then. If everyone got handouts for something SHE worked hours on, it's fine if she tells you she doesn't want to give it to you.
And you telling her that she's selfish and rude, telling her to be "nicer maybe" is EXTREMELY inconciderate. Maybe you should take some of your own advice.
So are you saying that art/design is not a valid profession and shouldn't be considered "work?" What do you define as "work?" Because I'll tell you what not everyone can draft a beautiful pattern, and even with a pattern not everyone can dedicate the time and energy it takes to become a skilled seamstress. Isn't that definition of work? And are you saying that because this is something she enjoys doing that she isn't within her right to ask for compensation for her work? Or deny people rights to her pattern that she slaved away on? It would be like me as a professional graphic designer giving away all my native files to someone who didn't pay me. It's absolutely ridiculous! And she was not rude to you, she was matter of fact if anything.
