Okay so I was planning on separating this out over a few days, or just not posting all of it, but I need to get screenshots of an issue I am having. My posting glitch tends to happen with longer posts so this will be quite long.

First: I need a vote on what to draw next in aj!

A. Perry the platypus.

B. Simons cat.

C. Something Original

Okay now onto my rant. Its gonna be kinda long and all over the place sorry. First, I have had two people quit aj in the middle of having me draw a commision and it has discouraged me from doing any more. I only found out they had quit when I went to deliver the art. One was of a pixel art pokeball and didn't take me to long, but it stung extra cause they were my buddy. The other was an extremely detailed ajpw commision with lots of shading of someones main. It took me two and a half weeks to finish even though I worked on it everyday. I was really dissapointed when I discovered they hadn't been on for two weeks. I waited about a month in case they were on vacation but they never got back on. It felt like so much waisted time. At this point I just don't do complicated commisions anymore.

Second topic of my rant is that I just discovered MS paint is better than all of my other art tools. I expected it to be better than aj art but I thought my other tools were decent... MS paint feels like how people describe photoshop to me rn. I know its terrible but its miles better than what I have been using. looks like I will be sticking to MS paint for non-aj art at the time being.

And third and final topic. Is drawing popular cartoon characters in aj against the rules, and does it hurt the original creators. They are my favorite topic to draw but recently someone told me I was breaking aj's rules and could get banned. I will show you guys one of the masterpieces in question. It is not traced but I did use a few images as heavy references.
