Starfalls🌻💫

Oh!!! Hello!! I’m the artist who did the skeb outfit design commission that ended up with a bad review. (I truly do not wish any ill will on the client, so please remain kind!!!) I wasn’t going to say anything, but i feel like I can’t remain silent after it blew up publicly so…!!! Hi i’m Mimi!! I do lots of commission work, my favorite being outfit design!! I admit the way this commission went really blindsided me. I don’t think harping on details will do any good at this point, but there are some things things I’d like to say!! 🤍 First, thank you to those who were quick to support me!! Last night I couldn’t sleep at all since I was so worked up over this situation, but hearing everyone’s kind words today has really reassured me, so i’d like to say thank you so much!!!!! You guys really helped me feel better!!!!!💞 🤍 I also want to clarify a few things! First, I use VGen for sporadic slots, so while my services are unlisted right now, it’s only because my slots filled up! I didn’t unlist them because of this situation, so please don’t worry about that!💞 Additionally, my normal design commissions (that are catered to client’s specific desires with many drafts) are always open! You can email me or contact me through my website anytime for quotes or inquiries!!! 🤍 I also saw some artists saying this situation scared them away from trying skeb style work! I want to encourage you to try it if you want to, i’ve done many skeb works that go very smoothly and everyone ends up happy!! They can be very fun!!! This was my first ever negative review, and i’ve been doing this job for years!!! So please don’t be discouraged!💜 I’d like to offer advice for these artists, to help you work through potential situations like this one!! I recommend having a detailed upfront TOS you can refer back to, to avoid as many misunderstandings as possible! (Though, like this situation, problems can still happen! It’s important that you stick to your TOS, it exists to help you not overexert yourself!!) I made sure to clearly state no revisions/refunds/etc, and that i separately offer catered designs, but misunderstandings and unhappy clients can still happen. If you end up getting a bad review because of that, you are aloud respond to it and share your perspective! For me, it was really scary having something so negative out in the wild like that, but I really tried to stand up for myself in a situation where I felt like I didn’t do anything wrong. Having the TOS really helped!! 🤍 Last, to anyone who is looking at buying a skeb from an artist, please be aware that you may not always like the result! You are saving money by giving up creative freedom to the artist. They typically have no revisions at all, sort of a “get what you get and don’t get upset” situation! (I did provide a revised version myself for this design, but not every artist will do that, and they don’t have to with skebs!!) Skebs aren’t everyone’s cup of tea, and that’s absolutely okay!!!! There are thousands of artists who offer other options too, including myself! I saw lots of folks referring to skeb style work as inherent scams. I’m very sad to hear this, because like I said i’ve done tons of skebs where everyone is happy with the result!! While some people may use skeb style to take advantage of others, not everyone does. It’s important to do your own research on the person you want to commission before you commission them!! It’s not fool-proof, but please don’t lose faith in human artists 💜 🤍 I’ll leave this off by saying thank you again to everyone who supported me through this!! I didn’t expect it to become a public situation at all, so I’m relieved it worked out alright. I’m going to finally sleep now 🥹💞 Also!!! I’m really bad with self promotion, but if you’d like to support me please check out my YouTube where i stream every week!! I also sing original and cover music, and I have a manga that will be published soon!! Thats it from me!!!! Thank you!!!💜💜💜
