To add on to this, when I read a 2nd person narrative focused on a semi-blank character, I tend to spend more time thinking "well I wouldn't do that", whereas when the character has a clearly defined personality I go "oh okay I guess that's what 'we'(character & me) are like in this story."

Personally, I like when they're a clearly defined individual because I think it makes for better storytelling. Personalities drive stories, and imo trying to keep one blank for the reader to project on introduces so many limitations to how you drive a story forward.

Have you tried looking for circus training near you?

Oaaghhh I think the first and third one are rewiring my brain look at those big claws....I love...

Also! I think it's easier to split commissions up by type and provide examples. As far as I can tell there's no limit to the number of examples you can give of a type? So like, you can set up separate commission slots for full-body, bust, whatever, and have a buncha examples right there on the slot

From the customer side, an actual enforcement of deadlines and punishment for lack of fulfillment. I can open a complaint if an artist ghosts me, and Vgen will step in and help resolve it.

Oh my god I'm honored

I would kill for pensacola
