I just realized this never got uploaded anywhere, so I’m putting it up out there. Commission I got from @cassiusdrawsthings of @ralek-arts ‘s character, Passel.
Sub-Raffle won from @bbsartboutique. I’m a big Overwatch buff, and McCree is both the best fitting character for Silver and how I like to play as well. Thanks again for drawing this Beebs <3
I’ve known Sodiav for about a year now and from what started as a close friendship, turned to nothing but lying, deceiving and manipulation.
I met Sodiav sometime in January of last year. He was a growing artist with tons of potential. I offered to assist him on a few of his pics simply out of generosity. After his picture were a hit, he personally named me his assistant. Things were going smoothly by then. Really nothing bad happened for a long time. We’d skype daily and I’d stay up all night, messing up my sleep schedule just to watch his streams, helping him with his art. For about 5 months, I gave him motivation, confidence, advice and respect. We got very close to one another but our relationship started to take a turn for the worse. At some point, he started to mock me for not being a good assistant. He’d constantly make me feel bad then purposely ignore me afterwards. I felt horrible of course but here he is telling me it’s all a joke. I forgave him of course but it kept happening, again and again. The amount of stress he gave me was unbearable. Eventually he started making threats to unmod me from his picarto unless I told him stuff I really didn’t want to tell him. Personal stuff and what not. He knew exactly how to push my buttons, but I never left him because he was my friend and I didn’t want to lose him. It’s like the abusive relationship scenarios where no matter what happens, they keep coming back.
Sometime in June, I visited Europe. I wanted to make Sodiav really happy and figured I’d buy him some stuff from Europe and mail it to him out of a huge sign of friendship. I spent around $100 worth of merchandise on him. I figured this would show him my loyalty towards him and get him to stop hurting me intentionally but it only made it worse. He scaled up his insults from just making me feel bad, to straight up saying horrible things about my family. He knew exactly what kind of troubles my family was going through. At the time I had nowhere to go, he was driving me crazy, saying all of these horrible things. But when he insulted my father about overdosing, that’s when I drew the line. I told him I was done with his bullshit and our friendship ends here. What does he do in response? He draws a fucking picture with ponies mockingly saying goodbye to me. I sadly don’t have the picture because I blocked him on discord after that, so it got deleted.
So a few days pass until one of my friends says Sodiav wants to talk. I mistakenly decided to listen to what he has to say and he gives me the old “I’m sorry of this” and “I’m sorry for that”. So what do I do? I forgive him. I gave him another chance to make things right and at first he does well. He is actually talking to me like a human being for once and even allows me to commission him. I paid $30 for a simple sketch of Pone. $30 is absurd but he tells me, “I’m Sodiav” like its a great excuse to overprice his works. Not even as his “assistant” I get any discount. No I get nothing but whatever. I paid the ludicrous amount of money and he allowed me to post it on derpibooru. I notice that he also allowed others to commission him too so I’m not the only one. Everything goes without a hitch until he starts getting rude again. It’s nothing too much but regardless still rude. During this time he starts to ignore me again. Whatever. Another few days passes and I go to his tag on derpi. I notice something is missing, my commission. I search for it to see that Sodiav himself removed the tag “artist:sodiav” from the picture. I confront him about this and he tells me he doesn’t want commissions on derpibooru. I would have bought it too if it wasn’t for the fact he left the other commissions from other people keep the “artist:sodiav” tag. I confront him about this and he ignores me. I was so pissed at this point that I wrote all about it in the Pony Town Discord but I never revealed his name. I didn’t want a witch hunt to talk place as some of the members are very well known artists that could have a major impact on Sodiav if word got around him doing this. Sodiav heard about this and basically attacked me. He said he could never trust me from the start even when I spent countless nights helping him with art, spent $100 on merchandise to make him happy, gave him non stop support and motivation when he was feeling down. Knowing that he never trusted me from the get go absolutely hurt and pissed me off. I did so much for him and yet he still couldn’t trust me. I tell him I never revealed his name to which he didn’t believe until I showed him screenshots of the whole rant. He told me I was right and that he felt so horrible for all of those months he treated me like dirt when I wanted to do was help him. He admitted his mistakes and I forgave him but I told him it was the last time I was ever gonna do it. He has already went behind my back, I couldn’t let him keep doing this.
So things return to a normal pace. I’m helping him with pics and such but for some reason he refuses to Skype with me. This was a red flag but I let it slide. He was nice to me again and I felt comfortable with telling him personal things again. It was a horrible mistake I know. When I came out as bisexual he was one of the first people I told. At first, he didn’t care as many of his friends were bi too. But then I started dating another guy and he just berated me for it. He said some absolutely horrible things to me over discord, making me feel very uncomfortable. He sent me gay porn saying that this is the kind of stuff I like now. I was helpless but he kept on pushing me to my limits. His homophobic rants were too much and I began to break down. I’ll link some screenshots of what he said to me at the bottom. After the attack he just went back to ignoring me. I messaged him today but of course he didn’t respond. But then I noticed something. He deleted his messages. He was trying to cover up his tracks. After that, I was completely done with his shit and now I am typing this. Sodiav is not a good person. He is far from it. He is deceptive, a manipulator and liar…
TL;DR: I met Sodiav when he was starting, helped him out a fuck ton and all he did in return was spit in my face.
I’m sorry if this seemed rushed. I really had to get this out there as fast as possible.
Sodiav if you’re reading this, I’m sorry it had to come to this but I can’t stand your abuse anymore and people need to know what you did.
I dont usually reblog non-porn related stuff here but Pone is a great guy and friend, and no one deserves to be treated this way. Sodiav has been a dick to a quite a few people, friends and fellow artists as well, and it needs to stop. And harrassment, manipulation and discrimination is not okay.
And what the fuck is wrong with being gay man.
Jesus, some people let their art get to their heads and think they can do whatever they want. I know who to avoid in the future now. This behaviour is not cool in anyone’s book.
I’m not a fan of sex. The nsfw community (for lack of a better word) is oversaturated with it.
It’s like if 90% of sfw art was of skydiving and people just keep drawing nothing but skydiving stuff even though it’s been drawn in every possible form over the past half-century.
To actually answer the questions. I wouldn’t know, because I’ve never tried one in person, and I suppose my favorite to draw would be… this one I drew a while ago except I guess there’s gotta be a second character there so I’ll just scribble ‘em in real fast…
