This Super Cute Video Spoke To Me
3 years ago
--> My T.O.S. <--
--> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvE3RX1JJfQ
It's literally my exact same experience everytime I've done commissions (or YCHs) so far.
I get extremely nervous, hoping people will think their pictures are good enough once they are done, and
people always (99%) turn out to really enjoy the results and are very responsive and patient throughout
the whole process, even if it their picture may take a week or two.
The comments on the vid are also very wholesome, usually when I come across furry related videos,
the comments are rather toxic, but people are so nice here. Actually gave me a moment to think how
lucky I am to be surrounded by mostly very supportive folks and people who buy from me at all, even
if my stuff is just "self-taught-quality", you know. And that I should show more appreciation as well, I
could have easily ended up in a worse place.
Really, if only the thought of opening new commission rows wouldn't give me these.. mini panic attacks,
I would open them more often. Right now I'm super lucky to have such a huge amount of support on patreon
that I don't have to open commissions, which gives me a lot of time and confidence needed to improve my
mental state.
Let me know about your experiences, as artist or commissioner~

Most of my experiences have been great though, and i hope things continue being positive for you too ^^ (i also do kinda want to commission you someday :D )
Especially when after every picture it turns out I didn't need to be worried at all, yet every new pic makes me nervous. Keeps quality in check I guess though x3
From what I've learnt so far: If you enjoy the picture, your client will as well~
I see, thank ya! o3o
10 out of 10, would order more from you again.
As for myself I buy commissions. Mostly a positive experience and now have a comfortable circle of artists I can trust and always happy to tip for the care and effort put in. Art is very personal, communication is important.
But you shouldn't be nervous about your good commissions, strike that FANTASTIC art.
paypal and patreon took a bit to set up, but literally couldn't live without them anymore x3
Give yourself some credit man, you do great work!
Been on your patreon all this time for a reason
But I've just never been the "yeah look at my awesome stuff" kinda guy x3 Every 2nd other artist I check out makes me super jealous x3
Also, I had no idea you're entirely self taught, now I can't help but think about what sort of masterpieces you'd create with professional training...
As for commissions, I'm dirt poor, so I consider myself extremely lucky that a few awesomely generous artists have gifted me pics of my characters. Unfortunately, one of those gifts has gone missing, as I recently realized when I wondered why I hadn't put it on FA yet, went looking at my saved art and just about had my heart stop when I couldn't find a copy of it. Turns out losing a gift makes you feel both depressed, and like an ingrate!
