Hi folks. Jabilo's player here. I'm a writer, roleplayer, aspiring artist. I am not a "personal fur." I am a fully grown and developed human male who, like many of you, enjoys gallivanting around in a fantasy persona within the sanctity of his own home. I do not "yiff," though I've been known to engage in good ole fashioned cybersex. I am the same Jabilo as the one on F-list.
I used to at least put up a pretense that I did and practiced art, but after many years of practice and getting absolutely nowhere, with no improvement whatsoever, I finally gave up and accepted my limits. Instead, I dabble in writing. In the creative world, writing is to art what art is to medical school, so as far as I'm concerned it's just a hobby and a heat sink for creative energy.
Sometimes, I like peoples art enough that I would LIKE to favorite more than one or two pieces, but I don't want to wind up like those people that just favorite everything in somebody's gallery. Instead, I may just watch you. Faving everything in somebody's gallery could come off as creepy.
Similarly, while I love commenting on peoples art, I don't like commenting on every piece or all the time. Sometimes, I'll skimp on commenting on a journal or upload or two by choice, simply to limit perception of brown nosing, stalking or insistence.
I'll also UNwatch, if asked.
If you thank me for the watch and I don't reply, it's not because I'm trying to be rude. It's sort of a thorny issue for some. I don't mind being thanked for watching you, but I may not always say you're welcome. No offense is intended by this!
PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THE GALLERY WILL CONTAIN HORRIBLE FETISH MATERIAL! Sometimes sexual, sometimes just situational and subjective fetish stuff! You've been warned.

Call me a dirty capitalist

But if I had the power to charge whatever I wanted, and the ability to make a Will Not Draw list of themed, I think I'd have three categories.
Basic Category: Average prices for my stuff. You can expect a normal amount of the cost for what I'd produce and draw. A reasonable cost for an art commission. Kinks and fetishes I'll draw, subjects and themes that are A-OK.
The, 'I don't like this, so you're going to pay out your nose' category: This is stuff that costs anywhere from two, to one hundred times as much as a normal commission. This is the open, "I am abusing your business" tier, where I'll draw shit I don't want to, but it's going to cost you. Buyer beware. The quality of the art will be the same, what you're buying is my willingness to draw whatever sick shit I don't want to draw but you're loosening up my inhibitions to do. Under normal circumstances, I would not draw stuff like scat or genital mutilation for $30 on an art commission. For $3,000, I might consider it.
The, "no way in hell, unless you're a greater demon" tier.
This category is stuff you cannot pay me to draw and I will not accept payment to draw.
The exception to this is if you're paying millions of times the cost of basic art. Then I'll consider it. The rationalization being, this sort of shit would ruin your reputation forever, whether it was illustrations or not. For $30.00 I won't consider it. For $30,000,000 I just might.
And why would I make that stipulation when other artists exist to do that subject matter for more cheap? Well, because clearly they want that subject matter from me. If what you give me sets me up for the rest of my life, I don't have to worry too awful much about losing career and being stigmatized for my art, if being paid to draw macro Vanilla the Rabbit farting on a giant pie, or whatever the fuck some degenerate wants me specifically to draw. I just have to put a burlap sack on my head and deal with the social ostracism all the way to the bank. The breeze from the window of my economy electric car, paid for on ridiculous smut, would dry my tears.
And then live off the interest until the day they toss me into a grave.
I wouldn't have a Will Not Draw list. I'd have a "Fuck you, pay me" list.
