Ok, on a super serious note, I do have a question. If I were to throw up a link on say... my tumblr for a link to a "tip jar" would I be breaking any RPC rules? I am not asking for payment on any works, nor will I "withhold" images or any promised works.
It's just that... all my works lately have demolished, utterly my wacom tip supply, as in.... Yeesh, and these suckers aren't cheap unfortunately, and wacom charges 5 bucks to even ship them out (that's half the cost of an actual refill ironically). I'm not a commission artist currently (I have personal... roadblocks atm with me and asking for money for my work), but I am also running out of these things.
The idea behind the tipjar, is that just; it is not a promise that I will draw something for you in exchange for the tip, nor would I be obligated to do so once a tip is given and on the same note, I will still be drawing if no one threw in anything in the jar. I wouldn't set a minimum limit other then a dollar because paypal fees, nor honestly actively panhandle much, but I figure it doesn't hurt asking?
Also i just realized the concept of a Tip jar is somewhat literal in this case...
TL : DR? If you don't want to pay or unsure of paying, you don't have to. Unless I open paid commissions, which will have a SET price tag, agreed by both members of the working contract before I start, you will never be required to pay for work I give out, EVER. It is there as an option for people because they, of their own volition wish to do so. I draw because I love the RP community, its members, and the environment, and I offer pictures because I can.
