i wanna create but i need an ipad. this phone and cheap ass stylus is not enough. my photography skill does not do my sketch book justice. why didn't i just take the offer from my brother? he says he'll buy me an ipad or something along those gadgets in exchange for my labour–to draw crypto stuff for him.
I didn't wanna do it cus my brother either does not credit me or he claims to have drawn it himself in the community space. i felt that was a little unfair, but, he was paying me for it. is that how commissions work?
also i hate cryptobros but i gotta admit he does get mad doughs from those yet here i am, broke as hell. i don't even buy clothes i spend all my money on food

    I wouldn’t say you’re stupid because it makes sense to feel entitled to credit for work you did. Weird on your brothers end unless him credit mining is what gets him the money from that community (still not morally okay but would give perspective.)

    But objectively? You could have just accepted your brother’s offer in order to stack up funds for a future to pursue artistic avenues. I highly doubt your life blood is in crypto so being that attached to what the community thinks is your work seems nonsensical in the grand scheme of what you’re trying to achieve. Maybe talk to him and see if the offer is still there? Otherwise just get a job and save up for a while, wishing you luck!

    the thing is they made a keychain of MY drawing but no one knew i made it. I felt very insignificant. my brother is also the first and (only person yet) to commission me and show it to the public, so i feel bittersweet when i check out his twitter page and saw ppl praising the drawing but not me. but you're right, there was no need for me to gaf about that those cryptobros think. they literally makes NFTs.
    im just lamenting the fact that if i had curb my useless pride i coulda have an ipad in my hand
    p.s. i swear i already replied to you but it won't show up on mine so if you saw 2 replies ignore that (•_•;)
