I get alot of questions daily that can easily be answered by taking at look at my F.A.Q and my Art Status, which both can be found by reading my profile.
The two most common ones are about Art Trades and brush settings, so I'm gonna spend a bit of time to write about them here.

Art Trades
I used to love doing art trades, and drew alot of them, until I stopped liking it when I realised some people just want free art of me. I'm a naive person, but I've learned this the hard way, so I hope I don't sound too strict when I say that from now on I will ask you if I want to make a trade with you. That, or I make a journal about it, asking for intrested people, and then pick the ones I'd like to trade with. I don't hate getting a note every now and then about doing art trades, but it's when I get alot of them in a short period of time that it get heavy for me to log onto dA anymore. I know I need to answer them, but I don't have the time, energy or intrest to do any.
I'm really bad at saying no, like really, and when I do I always feel like a stuck up bitch who thinks she's better than everyone else, but I'd rather be called something I know I'm not than spend my very limited energy on art I don't even want to make it begin with. I'm sorry if that makes me a mean person.
Please take a moment to read my Art Status, as I don't think I will answer alot more notes or messages with the same content and same answers over again.

Brush settings
Or more, my lineart brush settings.
I have listed in my F.A.Q that I do not give them out, but not everyone reads a persons F.A.Q before commenting on a picture, I get that. It's not the question itself that annoys me, it's when I get one on every piece of art I upload, 
like they just want to know all my secret tricks and techniques.
'Cause that's actually how I feel about it. I don't feel comfortable sharing my settings 'cause I feel like the magic could possibly be lost. That, and I think despite beging a rather private person here on dA, I'd like some privacy with what I choose I do not want to share.
I love all my watchers and supporters, and I'm not by any means mad at anyone, so please don't feel targetted by this. It's these same questions being built up since day one, and today I wanted to make a journal about it.
I might regret it, as I think I sound more strict than I am used to, and my head feels like lead, but I think I would've made this journal sometime nevertheless.

Gonna disable comments as this is not up for any discussion.
Thank you for reading and respecting me as an artist!

Love, Silly :rose:
