Well, the family is now shoving me around. I've asked for help with getting some art up to get some awareness up about myself, and now they've booked in an appointment with a candle company whilst I'm away to get some art put up there.
However, they want me to either sell off the art I've done completely or at least bring it back down to it's most basic elements and basically recolour and skin it. Almost like some cheap ingame cosmetic.
Given this includes personal art of my own characters, I rightfully said fucking no to this, as I fully intended to use said characters to as examples to do completely original commissions, but my family is more concerned about the $$$ and want me to do reskins which feels cheap to me. Now they are saying if I do it my way and get some non personal examples and bases together, they won't help at all.
Fucking hell, I should have stayed quiet about this. I knew I was jumping into this too soon. Any advice?
