Commissioned...
13 years ago
The purpose of this particular journal is for artist feedback on me as a commissioner. This can be positive or negative feedback, as long as you are honest. What I’m hoping to gain from this is to improve the way that I commission artists.
Was I an impatient asshole and rushed the work from the moment payment was received or a pleasure to work for?
Did I fail to pay? Only paid in part? Had to wait forever for payment? Paid up front in full?
Was there too much of a description to read or not enough?
Easy to communicate with or had a bad attitude? Respond to e-mails in a timely matter?
Would you allow me to commission you in the future? Am I blacklisted and on your “get the fuck away” list?
Below is a list of various artists that I’ve commissioned in the past year. The number next to their name indicates the amount of commissions received from them. If you are one of the artists listed below feel free to post a comment on your experience/s with me.

Pending Commissions:
I didn't think you were impatient. At least for me, you were very patient, and if you asked for the commissions, it wasn't rude or "hurry up, damnit!". No. You were polite and you asked a few times for the commissions, and I can't blame you, it took me quite a lot time to finish them. I would've asked for them, myself. So I think you were nice and patient. :)
You paid the full amount up in front, nothing to complain about.
Your descriptions were good! They were short, but very easily understandable. You gave me few sentences on each character, and I knew exactly what to draw. You didn't tell every little not-so-important-info, which I didn't need, you told the things I should know, in order to make the characters look like themselves. So I think you gave enough information.
You were very easy to communicate with, I didn't have to wait for your response more than a day, and like I said earlier, nice.
You can commission me anytime! I love to do commissions to nice, patient people. ^u^
Well for me you were most patient commissioner i ever had. I never recived from you "when my commission will be ready? / why u cant draw quicker" or any other rude note.
About payment, you payed it all at once, quick and in right currency i asked for. Thank you for that ^^
You ordered a wild card commission but your character pictures was all easy to understand and work with them
You were rly nice and i would love to draw for you more commissions! ^^
I would love to do more work for you any time! I wish all of my clientele were as relaxed and concise with ideas as you were :)
Was I an impatient asshole and rushed the work from the moment payment was received or a pleasure to work for?
Far as I recall, patient to work with and never rushed anything and always made thing flexible for my interpretation
Did I fail to pay? Only paid in part? Had to wait forever for payment? Paid up front in full?
Not once did you fail to pay, always paid on time and ahead of schedule
Was there too much of a description to read or not enough?
Only in one instance, but at the same time it was a very big commission so that was completely understandable!
Easy to communicate with or had a bad attitude? Respond to e-mails in a timely matter?
Fairly easy to communicate with, there hasn't been more than a day's delay in response times
Would you allow me to commission you in the future? Am I blacklisted and on your “get the fuck away” list?
Sure, you haven't done anything to me that would make me not want any commissions from you
Hope that answers them for ya :)
2. You paid in full!
3. Both of the commissions I've done for you had to the point descriptions. If I ever needed more detail, you provided it.
4. Very easy to communicate with. Very calm and understanding. You responded to all my notes within a 24 hour range which is ideal (for me)
5. I would love to continue having you as a return commissioner! ^^
A pleasure to work for, honestly. ^^ <3
2. Did I fail to pay? Only paid in part? Had to wait forever for payment? Paid up front in full?
I'm pretty sure you paid in full up front, if I remember right.
3. Was there too much of a description to read or not enough?
There was enough info added and plenty of reference images.
4. Easy to communicate with or had a bad attitude? Respond to e-mails in a timely matter?
Very easy to communicate, especially when I had issues with some of the links on my forms. You got back to me right away and added new ones and just really worked out great.
5. Would you allow me to commission you in the future? Am I blacklisted and on your “get the fuck away” list?
Absolutely I'd let you commission me again. <3
You were a very patient commissioner, very open and always kept me informed if you would take a bit of time to answer me (because when you commissioned me, you had some family issues)
You paid up front when I requested the payment, and yes, your mail was really big but it was fine because it was for a character design. You never were pushy, or rude when talking with me, so it was really nice working with you.
And of course you are more than welcome to note me if you want to commission me in the future n___n I will be delighted in working with you sweetie
Anyway just wanted to let you know that you were a fine commissioner and I don't have any bad comment about you at all. You gave me very interesting ideas and enough artistic freedom to feel comfortable. I would love to work with you again in the future ^^
Anyway, you're like, the nicest, most patient commissioner on the planet. xD And the descriptions were great - gave good guidelines of what you wanted without being crazy-restrictive. Seriously, you're fabulous. :D
In my personal experience with you, you've been nothing but polite and understanding of any delays (and I'm sure there were enough and I apologize!). Thank you for being so patient with me! ^^;
2. Did I fail to pay? Only paid in part? Had to wait forever for payment? Paid up front in full?
You paid up-front and in full for your commissions. If I remember correctly, you were even kind enough to send a tip as well, and that was greatly appreciated on my part. Very kind of you!
3. Was there too much of a description to read or not enough?
Your description was fine! A nice, clear and concise blurb about what you wanted, followed by an easy to use visual reference.
4. Easy to communicate with or had a bad attitude? Respond to e-mails in a timely matter?
I've always found you to be quite pleasant to deal with, as a commissioner and otherwise. You're always prompt to read and respond to any notes and questions I have concerning your commission(s). Your attitude has always been very polite and respectful, which is always a nice thing to encounter.
5. Would you allow me to commission you in the future? Am I blacklisted and on your “get the fuck away” list?
I'd love to do work for you again in the future. Your patronage is always welcome as far as I'm concerned. :3
Sorry it took me so long to get around to doing this for you. ^^
"Did I fail to pay?" - No, I was very impressed at how prompt and ready-to-go you were, and delighted to have even received a tip :) It was an excellent demonstration of you consideration as a commissioner - you seem to think of artists as people you're eager to work with, not an art-machine that needs to hurry up. As someone who's worked in the service industry, you're the ideal kind of customer - someone who won't jump at the first chance to complain and see if they can get a discount :b and instead is thoughtful and understanding, and generous to boot :)
"Was there too much of a description to read or not enough? Was I easy to communicate with?" - You provided pretty everything I needed to know, either descriptively or in the form of visual references, and was not anywhere approaching lengthy, tiresome, redundant, or unintelligible. You were concise, but still conveyed your character's personality and the desired feel without making me read an entire story to go with it. Anything that I was curious about, you answered sufficiently.
"Respond to e-mails in a timely matter?" - Yes, emails were responded to within a day, which I very much appreciate as an artist that likes to work closely with the person commissioning me, preventing me from having to put your image on hold because I hadn't gotten feedback from you.
"Would you allow me to commission you in the future?" - Certainly!
2 - payed as soon as I requested to pay
3 - the description of Alina was absolutely perfect, I was very glad to have some freedom with her suit!
4 - no communication problems noticed
5 - be glad to have another commission from you, usually sfw commissions are unbearably boring, but yours was fun to work on! :3
9 of 10 all in all (just because I can't imagine what a commissioner should do to get 10 from me :D )
