Meh, I was in a similar situation as a designer in the paintball industry a few years ago. I was good at it, made some decent money, and had a bit of acclaim. After 8 years the climate changed, few things started to stress me out about it, and it wasn't my main source of income so I said "meh" and walked away. I still do the odd project for a team if requested but I don't stress over it.
If something in life like this stresses you out, my advice is to just move on. Focus on what really matters in life and find something enjoyable.
Just like this thread, it bores me so, meh. I'm out. :)

Says the guy who, in the brief time I have been back, has felt stressed enough to post rants (one all in bold even :woot) targeting specific people before proclaiming that the discussion bores him. ::)

As I posted in the Star Castle artwork thread, there is a ton of work that goes into some of these projects (Star Castle sideart is actually a really good example of that) and the "I can haz free filez" approach will generate some pushback.
Some of that can be alleviated by making reasonable requests and taking the time to explain what you have done so far, what you are looking for, etc.
--- Quote ---My friend has been trying to find sideart for a Star-Castle-themed cabinet he is building. We've looked at all the usual spots (vectorlib, coinopart, etc.), but haven't found anything. Does anybody know if there is a scan or vector out there?

If you can't be bothered to ask nicely, it's unreasonable to expect that people will reply nicely.

Well said, Cheffo. All of it.

I <3 Cheffo.
Ignoring the posts is fine, and I tend to do that. However, that doesn't stop the log jam of free art requests in the section. I have to side with Opt2Not that ignoring the problem doesn't make it go away. I will do my best to stay positive and try to make a few more tutorials to post up in that section, I saw Opt posted one and I'd like to keep the trend going.
