I try to be good about accepting requests from people. Especially about a face that I have already made, and they would like some small change to match their preferences. So, I get a request for MAG 1355 to be changed to blue.
So, I redone it removing the green and made it blue. MAG 1635
Then the same person says after it’s published that they would like it ALL blue. So, I publish MAG 1641
Just now I get a request from the same person asking if I could make the round tic marks square for his square watch. So I have just finished MAG 1678 to be publish in around 30 days.
This is the last time I’m doing any changes on this watch face for that person…
IMHO he should pay you.
I have directly commissioned @marco69h for work, and paid him.
I have also asked him to make some tweaks to existing faces, and paid him, (albeit a bit less, lol), without him asking. It’s just the right thing to do.
I think I’ve paid him a total of $100 so far.
What I have done in the past when someone wants to pay me. I tell them to take whatever money they would give me and donate it to a local animal shelter or Humane Society in their area. That is a greater good than what I would do if given cash.
I am fond of dogs to the point where I even adopted a dog from our local humane society. The dog on the left is Dixie and the shelter dog I adopted is Daisy on the right.
It took me forever to get him to accept payment.
He kept saying that he does this for fun.
I finally convinced him that getting paid for what you enjoy doing is not a crime, that in fact it’s what we all wish for, lol.
We’ve had 2 to 3 dogs at a time our entire lives, (along with 3 to 4 cats, lol), most have been adopted.
Our current dogs, Daisy, 11 yr old and Lilly, 4 yr old … Lilly is the smaller one.
I gotta say I like the 1st one best, the others are to blue. Haha!
Yer a kind soul
So, how are my requests coming?
Just kidding
@mrantisocialguy
They don’t ask you to do MAGic then just graft.
I have one user without mentioning names that I have worked on a couple of faces for. Suffice to say he is a Vet. The beginning is difficult while they are working out wah they want but as you get near the Deadline. ( Ha Ha) it is very satisfying to know you have made something that someone is happy with. Possibly wearing it for a couple of days.
I agree when they know what they want and actually tell you all of it at the beginning. Oh, and I didn’t mention, all of this is in another language that I don’t know. I have to use Google Translate to know what is being said and to answer.
Yeah I can Imagine you lost a few strands of hair on that one.
Can I have a stick?
Can you show me the moon?
Can I have the moon on a stick?
No, but I can tell you where you can stick the moon! I’m sorry I just couldn’t help myself.
Nooowww I’m getting the username, lol.
For the less subtle. Where the sun is diametrically oppsed to the moon with the earth as the center. Or, in lamens terms, up your arse.
Fortunately for me, I’m already bald, no one will notice the difference.
Are you saying your head is up your preverbial?
No, but others have!

Wait wait… can you make the heart red?
I get requests quite often and always try to accommodate, even if I don’t like the end design Popular requests are usually to add certain Health info, such as Steps and stuff, which I do add quite often despite not liking it all cluttering up the Face (it’s all just a tap or two away on Watches anyway imo).
