"I thought you said art was your passion? Why are you trying to charge me?" (Because you can't earn money off anything you're passionate about. That's not what a career is at all.)
"Our up and coming website offers $1 for each item image you'll draw! Maybe we'll raise that after our site becomes famous!" (For a 100x100 icon, and they want full rights transferred as well of course)
"I am really feeling bad today, I just wish someone would draw me some art..." (From a used-to-be close friend literally once a week)
"Hey could you be my friend! I really like your artwork but I'm really broke!" (Totally how friendship works. Also pairs nicely with the next one.)
"Why won't you be my friend after talking one time! You're a shitty artist now and I'm going to tell everyone."
"If you don't draw me X, Y, Z for free I am going to report you!!!"
"I am going to sue you if you don't give me this art!" (Said to me by someone who commissioned me for 10 images and then vanished for six months so I resold the items when I couldn't get a hold of them. Needless to say they wanted the work for free too, since I'd 'upset them' into needing to contact a lawyer lmao)
"I commissioned this and therefore I own it. I can do whatever I want with the art." (That's not how that works when you don't own the rights bro)
And then of course some really fun ones from IRL conversations.
"Aren't you afraid you're taking advantage of your partner???"
"Oh I wanted to be an artist when I was younger too but then I grew up / decided I didn't want to starve."
"Oh so are you pregnant then? I mean why else would your partner let you stay home like a house wife?"
"You work at home? That must be so easy I wish I could work at home."
"Can't you just throw this together real quick? It'll only take you like five minutes."
"I told my boss I could do this, can you do it for me real quick tonight so I can give it to him?" (From the last time I ever spoke to my sister, as she was furious when I told her no and she had to tell her boss she was a liar.)
