I tend to in watch artist who
-recycle the same ideas over and over and nothing different goes into their galleries
-do those same pose multiple different clothing versions (I don't mind sfw and nsfw versions but I mean ones that do like 4+ different clothing changes)

And those are the only things I can think of

Communication, or lack thereof

Also, swamping themselves with work beyond acceptable.

When they eye the colors of your characters even though you provide a refsheet WITH the correct color pallet.

I do not mean how the colors may be altered do to shading style or "mood" colors in the piece.
I mean straight up my character is red and they color it orange kind of thing.

Another is when they ignore an important marking or unique thing that makes your character yours and not just another fox... then refusing to fix it.

i hate that as well.

Drawing everything like a dog.
lazy/crazy anatomy
refusing to do anything new or try different body types x__x

OMG YES to ALL of this XD

Oh, deer/otters/cows/etc. with dog noses really bug me.

i hate when artists make a mistake and dont fix it.

Mistake on their own art? Or on a commission?

If on a commission I can only understand if they make it clear ahead of time that fixes can't be made.

on a commission and they refuse to fix it.

If they don't say anywhere that they can't do fixes then it could be a case for Artists Beware, but there isn't much you can do if they had the notice ahead of time. :c Like with my Trust Me commissions, I state that I can't make any changes to it since that's the point of the commission. But other types are open for that.

I can understand the clean out thing some artists do because you know, not everything you make is 'the best', but they sort of annoy me too. The best thing to do(at least for me) is to look back and laugh at how terrible things looked.

Pet peeves for me? Um... I guess seeing the same body type and face(think of sword art online lol) sort of irks me. There are really talented artist that do that anyways, but for me I get bored if I do that. Nippleless men still look weird, especially when the same artist give reptiles and birds nipples.

Oh, and someone else had brought this up in a journal before, but when artists say how much they hated working on a commission on that pic, like if they don't like the outcome or something. I've seen this only a couple times, but I dunno, it seems unprofessional.

Gallery Wipes are super annoying....but a few things that are irritating to me personally.

-Artists who ask what they can improve on/what we would like to see from them....and they go back to doing what they were doing before/most comfortable with, and get mad at us for Critiquing them....like...why even ask us?...
-Artists who take on new commissions and don't plan to do them for a while, then take on more commissions and do the newer ones first before the older ones that came first.
-Artists that don't label their art or include credit to the character owner. Like...id like to know if the new commission they did is a new piece in their Cell Shade style, and this character belongs to (Insert link to owner here)

Horrifyingly I think I may sometimes do the things mentioned before but I'm trying to fix it so I don't do that

My artist pet peeve is incorrectly drawn bats, all your fault for pointing it out to me.

you're welcome. xD

-No queue list.
-They get annoyes if i ever ask about my art.
-Takes ages to answer.
-Been waiting ages on my art while they accept and finish Other high end arts.
-publicly favoritizing other comissioners and characters(and some downtalking my comissions)

Here are few that i can come up ontop of my head.

Oh and artists never checking bloody emails

I could only understand someone getting annoyed at being asked about the commission if it was frequently, but once in a while should be fine.

After one onth sience i try to check bi-weekly. Or less

Just know for me I put the updates on my site~ And when I do update I will show you. XD It will just be a little slow because of class and all that jazz. ffff

You have school i understand.
And you have a site which is good. Even more plus åoints fpr actually telling the bloody customer when you are finished. Many artists dont do that and it is Annoying. So big chance for me to miss my art! D:

I loathe the same face, same body, same pose thing. Its annoying and yeah it looks great the first few times but after that its just boring.

When they get mad when you point out something they messed up on your character when they said they can make changes for you.

Artists THAT CANT HANDLE CRITICISM AND THEN ASK FOR IT

Artists who follow EVERY FANDOM TREND and spam art of that fandom. Its okay to like fandoms but EVERY ARTIST DOING THE SAME THING WHEN A FANDOM COMES OUT SPAMS MY GALLERY. I hate getting like Steven Universe and Undertail spam....

Uhm I also dont like when artists go on hiatus and do not tell you whats going to happen to your commission

I hate when artists are super nice everytime you ask for a wip but never get amy further. Like i commissioned an artist a year or so ago for a traditional fullbody. Everytime i ask they are super sweet and tell me the have a sketch or so. They show me and i say it looks good. Then they say months later that they scrapped it and started all over again....Im not wanting to be rude to them because they are so nice but they jsut arent finishing it.

Idk thats all i can think of for now. Sorry for bad grammar i was typing this fast because my phone is dying.

For the nice artist thing, I REALLY think you'll have to put your foot down at that point cuz niceness won't save them. @_@ If they don't finish and keep redoing, may be best to ask for a refund. That's not fair to you.

>///< I hate being an ass though! They are so nice! Butt I will take your advice. Thank you!

Oh oh oh another personal experience.

Refuses to draw anything rapey, then proceeds to draw rape comics.

And and artist who only draws three same chsrscters for Weeks and nothing but samey porn of them(aka fangirling too much)

Oh and patreon paywalling.
Did i mention these three points are all one same artist?

kljbdflks sounds like an annoying artist.

Though I can understand certain topics that artists will only do personally. I have some friends who will only draw porn for themselves, but feel very uncomfortable doing porn for others.

Hnnng boy the comment session here is lit. <3

Hoo, but something that always bothers me is when characters are drawn to look nnnothing like their species. Prime examples would be deer, otters and even FELINES who look like dogs. >:c Even saw this one person for whom I made a drawing whose character I didn't even know was a chinchilla until they told me because he looked like a dog/tiger thing in all of his commissions.

>________> GOSH I CAN'T STAND THAT. I GET SO ANGRY. LOL;
On DA I help run a furry group with a friend, and many times there are animals that try to go into certain folder but look NOTHING like that animal. So we decline them. lawl.

and what ya mean by "lit"? xD

Lmao, it was so lively. 7u7 I read the title on the journal and I immediately knew the comment session wasn't gonna be empty for long.

And jeez, good on you for that. :T It's like people don't even try to make the character they draw look like the animal. S'why I'm a little iffy about commissioning other people to draw my characters. No better person to portray the character as the creator intended than the creator themselves.

I await the first strike. XD

something that reeeeeaaaaaally annoyed me with one artist I commissioned is that I set up a HUUUUUUUGE ref explaining everything, from the hair to the function of the asscape, and everything, to make sure it turned out correctly......they didn't talk or respond to me for a month (I check up on my artists every week or so to make sure they're okay, if an artist isn't doing good I'll tell them not do push themselves and to take time off my commission to recoop) and then suddenly got back to me.....ignored ALL the details and only drew from the one tiny pixelated ref I had, with the simple message 'here, i didn't know how to do a lot of things but here'. I gave them the benefit of the doubt, I asked if they'd fix things (and offered to pay, to such an amount that it could be considered another commission in itself), but they never got back to me. Ever.

TL;DR an artist I dealt with took my money, entirely refused to talk to me for a month even to question me on things they didn't understand, gave the the end result and refused to talk to me ever again.

Biggest pet peeve is taking advantage of their customers. And other unethical business practices.

And I know I can vote with my wallet on this but, there are too many YCHs with "multiple slots" that exceed the set cost of a commission the customer could actually customize from them. It's just...argh xD

-Artists that have no commissions, only YCH's. It is frustrating because sometimes I don't want a commission of those poses, I don't want to risk being with other people's characters (been burned a few times by that), and sometimes they YCH's go to absurdly high levels... and sometimes all i want is a simple sketch! D:

-Artists that take commissions, then take more commissions before finishing the first set of commissions. I can understand some working out of order because of what they are in the mood for / have the "muse" for, but seeing my commission not get done for months while people who have only been waiting a week or two get their commissions done? That makes me so frustrated. D:

-Artists who take the money all up front, then you sit and wait for a long time before your commission is even started. I know there are trust issues both ways, but when i get a slot and my piece isn't even started for 8 months, why did I have to pay all upfront? I'd be more than happy to pay, like, a 25% fee as a deposit or something, but for larger commissions it seems a bit off to have to pay all upfront and then wait for such a long time. :x

Lastly, Artists who radically change their style between two commissions with no warnings. :(
On two occasions I've commissioned artists for the second time and the second piece was not up to par with the first one. Not so much quality, but the style was much less desirable. in one case, everything was just so generic like some of their recent comics it looked nothing like my character. Changing styles is part of being an artist I'm sure, but at the very lease update examples when you open for commissions!

Artist who post too many multi-slot YCHs. I've seen some beautiful ideas for YCHs only to click and find them to be multi-slot. I mean it could be two characters but it's a multi-slot. When it comes to romantic or adult themes I HATE the idea of my babes being put in with someone else's and it's just a huuuge let down to have to miss out on a lovely idea. This wouldn't bother me so much if it was more varied, like, one day this idea is a multi-slot and the next day it's for both slots. But when it's practically every single idea, it sucks.

Artist drama, I can understand those who just go through rough times and update their watchers just so they know what's happening or just need someone to talk to. Completely get it, things like that happen, it's sad but they happen. But it's the ones who seem to go through some calamity hour by hour, day by day, month by month, until you start ignoring them and loose all sympathy. Those ones tend to disappear from my watch list very quickly.

Those who get cutesy wootsy with their partners either in journals, comments, and where ever. Maybe it's because I'm kind of a cynical dick wad, but those kinds of things I find cringe worthy, and obnoxious.

Usually I don't hang for these kinds of thing but like. I'm a bit hesitant to put any "artists that don't do their own content the way I want them to" because if it isn't for someone else and is their art, it's honestly none of my beeswax.

BUT...

Artists who purposely close regular commissions and open very very limited slots at random with no warning, or just stick to YCHs and don't offer regular commissions - THIS DOES NOT BOTHER ME UNLESS it is done purposely so the one time they open a waiting list or something they can jack up the price to 200% because so many people are clamoring for a spot and are overly frustrated when they can't get one. They're basically purposely inflating demand to charge things at unreasonable prices.
If artists just do limited slots/YCHs, I don't see a problem, but if it's done so you can take advantage of people frustrated with your system, that's messed up.

The adoptable economy. Just that whole thing. Selling adoptables for over 200 or so dollars, re-selling them, trading them, using them as status symbols. Artists who basically make tons and tons of money when they make their species a "brand" and can easily rake in the cash for just making some new palettes. I mean, I understand needing to keep the lights on but 600 dollars from a batch of adoptables who are basically all the same pose colored differently? Jesus.

Artists who use their followers as a personal army to harass others. Or use their influence to get people hated in a community they are very prominent in.

Artists who are abusive to artists not on their skill level. Making fun of, posting their art on "bad art" sites, etc. These people also have this sort of condescending attitude when talking to viewers/inexperienced artists when they make critiques, kind of the "if you aren't the cook then you don't know what good food is" sort of thing.

Artists who are alright with their style stagnating, and take critique as personal attack.

Artists who have an ego on them as big as the Sun and who use their fans to achieve their own ends. Those who are abusive to other artists. Those who have no ability to handle any criticism whatsoever, and assume that anyone who isn't praising them like some kind of a living god is intent on attacking them. Those who think that praising artists for their work amounts to begging. Also those who treat their customers as nothing more than cash cows; I've even seen a few artists steal from their customers before now. Things like this are why I always keep a close watch on my own behaviour in the community.

The only pet peeve I've ever come to term with is when an artist will take on big commissions, then begin doing other things. Other things being collabs, trades and in stream commissions. Mind you, waiting is never an issue, but when an artist can pump out in stream sketches on a daily basis yet can't provide you with a sketch of something you ordered months ago? That's tedious and annoying.

I hate being the commissioner who asks how the progress is coming along on a commission, and feel like an ass doing so. But when I get told that I will have the product in Feb, I expect that to happen unless something drastic comes up. Then, when you get told it's being pushed back another month or two, after Feb is up, yet those stream commissions keep on coming. That's not exactly fair, imo.

I hate it when an artist gives you a date a piece will be done by (rough estimate) and then months later you're still waiting for it because you feel like you'd look like an ass if you ask about it TT~TT

Wasn't there a journal about this very question some time aggo?
The one thing I brought up on said journal aside, I really can't stand it when people use their accounts only to advertise their Patreon/Weasyl/Tumblr.

Like I said in the journal, I most likely did but didn't know, but wanted to go with it anyways. lol
