Blitza Commission BE

[F-Sophitia-F]

While I wouldn't spend my money on something like that. I don't see why everyone is giving him such a hard time. Assuming he must be loaded or have no concept of money. Its his money and he can spend it on what he wants.
Seriously, I am sure a lot of you have pissed away money on things that other people would find just as pointless.
Anyway, a pretty nicely done animation. It is a shame its so costly to make them so you can't make them longer to get in some story. Anyway, all the hate was bound to show up here. Everyone on The Process looooves to hate.
-EDIT-
Also, by the way. If everyone here is going to rage that he didn't spend the money on something the whole community could enjoy. Why don't you all start a project fund of your own? Have everyone in the community donate a couple bucks every month over a period of time. Once you have enough money, commission a large piece like that or use it for what the community deems important. I mean, why not just do that instead of raging against the people with money buying things for themselves? I'd donate some money if there was such a fund.

Blitza has said in his posts that his eventual goal is to extend this into a full length work, which I'm cool with. It's a lot of money to invest in a project he wants to make happen, which is what it takes, sometimes. Yeah, it doesn't hit all my buttons, but to see the finished work is really impressive, and I hope that Blitza is generous enough to share a good portion of any future animations he commissions.

And honestly, in regards to the whole "who spends this much money on this sort of thing" argument, my usual thought when I see artwork that Blitza has commissioned is "Wow, I'm so impressed that this guy is willing to invest so much of his money into having art made to share with others interested in it," because, as several people have said, the process community isn't one that's exactly getting a deluge of content. I respect what it is that Blitza does to make the money he spends, since he's making sacrifices elsewhere in his life. For some of us, we don't need a whole lot to feel comfortable, and I wouldn't be surprised if Blitza is that sort of person. He works, he spends a modicum of his income on the cost of living, he's lucky enough to live in a country where he receives fairly good benefits from his government, and he seems to be in a happy relationship.

Yeah, I envy some of what he has, but that only makes me want to get into a position like his. Too bad I'm stuck stateside, where healthcare is a real money sink.

SWEET JESUS WHY IS THIS NOT BEING FUNDED!?!?

Most people dislike you because - and I apologize for the rather harsh wording here - you behave like a self-entitled, temperamental brat with no social skills, who responds to any criticism, no matter how minor, by throwing a tantrum and insulting people.

You'd probably be better off just ignoring your critics and doing your own thing. Flipping out on them like you do just makes you look like a thin-skinned, vindictive little drama queen - which is what a lot of your critics attack you for.

For the record, I apologize if I've hurt your feelings with my comments - that certainly wasn't my intent. Personally, I don't care what you do with your money - it's your money, and your choice how you spend it. It's great that you've chosen to share your commissions with the community in the past - though I've always believed that commissions SHOULD be shared, unless they happen to be of a particularly personal nature or the artist requests they remain private (we're all in this together, after all).

I'm mostly just relaying information conveyed to me by others. To be fair though, you would do well to ignore your critics if at all possible. You're not doing yourself any favors by going nuclear of them every time they open their mouths. It only serves to make you look bad and provides them with more ammunition to use against you.

But you just described EVERYONE on The Process. Shouldn't you vote him as your king?

I personally really enjoyed the animation, it was smoothly drawn and colored very well. Although I really hope it didn't cost him 4k..

Shame he still responds to criticisms the same old childish way, which is why basically anyone that doesn't constantly praise him on his FA gets blocked.

Sounds like someone is jealous that he can't spend more money on commissions!

Agreed..
Honestly, I appreciate Blitza for continuing doing what he likes. Why can't you just enjoy the animation? Since when did someones personal life become the main theme over the artists creation? I mean, sure, a lot of people draw things based on events in their life.. but you don't need to criticize or even spread rumors of things that you have no exact facts on.

**sigh**

You guys suck... coming to understan what he explains me...

Yeah, he earns a lot of money, yeah, he spends a lot of money... so what ? If he earns 10 times what you get, don't believe he'll give you half of his bucks JUST because you criticize him.

As a hot-headed guy, I DO understand him, and most of the people giving him advice or criticizing are just suckers.

Stop spouting junk when you don't know. You're just making the community look bad and people like him will stop contributing.

And I'll stop posting my stuff... which I already started to do.

I thought this was a very well done animation.

Short, but sweet.

Thanks Blitza for sharing your commission

I think you are wasting your breathe. I do agree with you though.

*laughs*

Seriously? You're going the jealousy route?

A) I don't need to spend money on commissions because I can make my own material, thank you, and

B) What I can't do myself I just collaborate with friends on. Yes, FRIENDS, those things you get when you're not a self-absorbed aspie* and can only get people to work with you by bribing them with ridiculous sums of money.

Jealous. Good grief. XD
