Do You Want A Flirt - Jenny Rom

People who read my LJ have seen this already, but I guess I'll post it for the rest of you (Edited a tad bit, but not much):

Upon further observation of my own artistic activities, I have come to a conclusion:

I AM NOT A REQUEST NUGGET.
I do horrible when given requests. I can only do them if they actually seem interesting to me. I love drawing for people, but I can't do it if the subject bores me. > Which, actually leads me to my next conclusion:

I AM A GIFT NUGGET.
When I get an idea, I put it down as fast as I can. Clean, Porn, random, I do it when I think of it. Most of the gifts I make are for strangers, actually, or to cheer people up when they're having a bad week or something. I do give gifts to my friends, of course, but I need to be heavily inspired no matter what it is.

With that out of the way, I can discuss more about other parts of arts I do and such:
I rarely ask for requests
Seriously, I never flat out ask people for requests, since I myself know what a pain in the ass that can be. e_e I love it when people draw my characters, I do. I just hate asking for it.

I suck at art trades
I do. I rarely finish my end of the deal. It's like, evil in the form of...paper, or something. I dunno. Trades are awesome. I just suck at them.

I have never done a colab
Well, aside from the VSY comic with Speed, WHICH I DO MORE THAN HER THANK YOU VERY MUCH[/spazz]. Otherwise, no, I've never done a colab. I also doubt that I'd ever be able to pull it off. I'm too easily distracted with my own thing. (This gets me in trouble in school a lot, btw. >>

Commisions rock, but I don't do them
There are a lot of reasons for this. One, I don't like to be paid for my work. I mean, that's pretty cool, but I do it because I love to. Two, my damned short attention span. I'd have people bitching the fuck out of me for their commisions, and I'd never be able to handle that. When I need to actually put bread on the table, I may consider commisions.

Gifts make me HAPPY
I love gifts. Any gifts. You can draw me a stick figure of my characters, and I'd love you forever...well for a while. Yeah. Gifts pwn.

Don't you dare ask me for gifts
This is a given. Ask me for a gift and I'll beat you to death with my powerful text. > I'll give gifts when I feel like it. :)

Contests are fun
I have been known to enter contests on occasion, and normally I don't care if I win. However, I'm normally caught up in my own thing, and almost never get my entry done on time. :( Damn me.

Random art stuff:
I don't need to be horny to draw porn
I know this is pretty weird to bring up, but I wanna set the record straight on that one. I heard a lot of artists have to be 'in the mood' or 'horny' to draw porn. I don't. Seriously. If I have a porn image in my head, I draw as if it were my other pics. Plain and simple.

I am not a pure porn artist
It's true, I show off my porn a lot. I love to do that, but it's not my favorite thing in the world to draw. In fact, I like drawing comics a lot more than anything else. When people recognize me, I'd rather be known as "That nice chick that draws those funny ass comics" than "That crazy chick that draws Sonic getting rammed in the ass by -This generic Sega seme-".

Aaaaaaand that's all you need to know about the way I do art. Any questions? Comments? Pie?
