Okay bad form game boy.....

You are a game professional who needs artwork, ah but you can't pay for it. A freelancer is nice enough to offer you their services, for which you are required to put forth nothing but some faith on a stick....maybe a small royalty check in two years time....Don't ask them for a resume you dope! Since when do people have to interview for free or royalty jobs to work with people who might be losers with a dream? Sorry I know this is a bit of a rant but I was asked recently third party to donate some artwork to help a new start-up get off the ground through a friend of the project who happens to be a friend of mine and when I asked them what they wanted me to produce for them, they actually started interviewing me. I told them they could see my demo reel and I quickly backed out of the whole thing and then sent an apology note to my friend who set the whole thing up. C'mon qualify to provide pro-bono or charity artwork? Not this popsicle! I think for some people the make believe game company thing goes right to their head. Too many stoned bedroom CEO's out there. I did tell them best of luck with their project though...thought that was nice. All the best cats! Remember stand up for yourselves! Only you know how much work you actually put into your artwork. There are lots of jokers out there that don't know and surely don't care. IIId
