My Least favorite things when working with artists.
4 years ago
General
- Hard to find prices, if they are a small newbie i can understand, but if their price list is behind five sudokus and an excorsism it makes it hard to decide if i even want to commission them. And i dont really like asking every second artist what their prices are.
-Inability, or unwilling to communicate. I know being an artist is hard, and i dont require them to listen to my life story. Heck i dont even require them to write or spell collectly, translator is good. But what i would like if they dont know or understand they should ask and not guess. If a ref is unclear, Ask and i will tell.
-Publicly ridiculing, disliking or mocking my characters or commission. I dont care if you trashtalk my comm or characters in private with friends, go ahead, hell. In private tell ME you didnt or dont like the idea or character and i can change them, or not chose those characters or idea in the future.
But in public saying a character is eyebleesing, ugly or stupid. About a character i have put my heart and soul into hurts me. Personally. Does not give a good image of the artist.
Hate the character all you want, but keep it inside or in closed friend circle, not public.
-Hard to find art examples. This is mostly twitter. Twitter is an horrid site to keep as a main gallery. Hate FA all you like but its one of the bigger art site, heck keep it as a dump to dump art to use as examples. Twitter media tab shows every meme and reply you tweet or reply, makes it hard.
-Artist, after i have waited a long time for my commission, takes other big commissions and finishes them before my commission, and then ridicule me for asking about updates once or less a month.
-Galleries that are all reminders about reminders for characters or auctions. Clogs it up and makes it difficult to see art.

I may not be officially open for commissions but I will be happy to draw your awesome ocs (for free of course) if you are up for it :)
I don't commission artists much but oh boy this I hate so much, I usually just end up unfollowing them because it's like I watch for inspiration and this is blegh.
Maybe FA could make a specific kind of "thing" item like there are journals, there is gallery items, then there is promo stuff and for those who care can keep tabs, and those who don't can set a setting to ignore it :O
