I blocked the artist who made Bait ref sheet
3 years ago
General
It will be a long story. It about this art:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/50388872/
It's one of my worst decisions I made last year.
So it all started that I posted on twitter in a comment under a post maybe about ?splatoon ocs? some cropped pictures from the comics of Bait to show him and I told that unfortunatelly I have no ref sheet to him yet. Then two artist replied that if I commission them, they would do a ref sheet of my oc. It was that point when should have say, that leave me alone, I have no money for that, and what kind of messed up concept is that when artists are hunting for commissioners like illegal cigarette-traders in the underpass for customers? But I was stupid. I'm bad at saying no to people if I feel so that would make them unhappy (easy to take adventage of me 😔). And I also kind of wanted to have that ref sheet. So I told them to write their prices in direct message. One of then would do it for 100$ the other very heavily accepted to do it for 80 $. I never commission for this much money at once, especially not an artist who I don't know, don't love, and did not earn my trust with anything. I could still quit, I felt it would be mean of my so I commissioned the 80$ artist for the drawing. I hoped so at least it will be good and I don't have to do it for myself. But I was wrong. It took her 3 months to finish the commission and I don't wanted to it say until now and I don't wanted to ruin her reputation, but I don't like it! My oc does not resemble enough himself, his head is not joined to his boda this way, his hair off to somehow and his armfins have to sharp ending! But this where the mistake I don't wanted to get corrected anymore, because it lasted her always 1-2 weeks to correct 1 single detail on my oc. And their where a plenty other mistakes I had to tell her 3 times until she finally corrected them: she gave him triangle shape teeth, but his teeth are rectangle shaped because that's a species characteristic and I had to tell her that 3 times to correct that! Also she colored his lower tailfin lobe his tummy color, but it was already his backside color and it also has to be told more times! She also would skip drawing his gill and his nostrils from front view if I don't tell her to put them there. And after she was done she was still asking me to tip her for her hard job. I should block her that time... but me, Miss Stupid Perfect Victim Material, I send her 10$ more and hoping that she will be happy with that finally. She was. But now... she texted me again asked me to commission again because she needs money for medicine. I politely told her no and blocked her. Everything has limits.
Bonus: since then like 5 more amine girl profile picture artist started begging/ emotinally manipulating me in dm to commission them, but I'm not biting on the the same bait again.

Clever way to end this journal.
Regardless, that did sound like headache but hey, atleast now you won't be put in that situation again.
