FIREFOXES ARE NOT LITERALLY, "FOXES ON FIRE", AND I'M NOT A BEAR!!
Remember- International Red Panda Day is the 3rd Saturday of September.
Visit: http://redpandanetwork.org/get-invo.....red-panda-day/ for more info.A note: I will be migrating to personal journaling on Weasyl. I will post on FA, news and references more often.
If interested on my thoughts, desires and plans, go to my account there: https://www.weasyl.com/~excelsior30

...and you want to make your journal pop? go here:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/55619625/ From what I go by, if it feels that I would like a commission, I will have first priority over those that I have had a connection before. So if it is that I have some artists that you have seen before doing arts for me in my gallery, you will see the reason why. I will go as follows:
+ If it is that one artist has in the past made art for me when I commissioned, I will likely do it again.
+ If it is a friend I know very well that referred me to an artist and that friend and artist are close, I will keep in mind of this and plan on future arts.
+ I will see if artists do watch me on here, Ferzu, Twitter, Discord, Telegram or very soon, Mastodon. If the connection is a mutual watch (watch me, watch you), that will be a HUGE factor in having a commission done.
+ Raffles are the best way of having a foreign artist get me to watching them in the long-term. Should it be that I win, then I will get that art, AND that I will commission again in the future.
- Complete stranger messaging me for art and has NO gallery of their own art. If it is that a complete stranger does message me, it should be at least 15 of their own arts. I will use a picture ID to check.
- I HAVE HAD IT WITH THOSE WANTING COMMISSIONS FOR ILLNESSES! Few times I have commissioned some artists, and they have not done any progress. One example was that I commissioned one who has cancer and had been off and on going on FA and disabled their account. Now the artist is off. I will no longer fund for illnesses of any kind even if it's art.
- Person has just one account for everything. I will want to have artists with at least three accounts like the ones I have listed on positive bullet #3 above. If you have just 2, I will not accept-it is a hard limit.
I have been losing enough money. So this journal I'm posting are the guidelines of when I can commission you and who I can trust, because this world is getting to be a little meaner and greedier. Therefore, I'm putting my defenses up and putting my footpaw down for potential artists that would like arts to do for my money. If we have good relations, then we can go forward with a commision. Do note that I do judge one's work when I get a commission done, so it can be a reference to in the future who I can commission again. If it went on good terms, I will put it up when I post in the description when I upload my copy after asking permission. It can bolster your reputation as a good artist if I do put a grade, the amount of time done, communication involved, and quality of art.
As I could be picky, it could be a good thing for you artists so if there are some that would want to try you out, you will get more reviews that are positive and have perhaps a successful career or side hustle in drawing furry, and sometimes scenic/human art. I'll be on your side, but don't take it personally if you have a "B" as a grade-it is still good! It is a "C" that will be something to talk about.
----
With that point in mind, I do have many commissions upcoming, so if you see yourself on the list below, keep in mind of where you are at and I will see if you can finish my arts soon. From now on, if I have many arts to be drawn by others, I will regularly post a journal to see who I'm waiting on for an art.
Here we are as of now:
COMMISSIONED:
Garphan95-- 1) a commission to remember Haku 
Pamfer-it includes my sona-PAID. Status unknown-did a rough draft as practice: https://twitter.com/garphan95plus/s.....37782253297665 2) soon to be done, a draw of 
CassidytheCivet as fanart-not paid.
Furshinku-- requested commission but not materialized: a draw of 
KeenyFox after ending the Transmission comic (decided to prolong the commission to give up one slot.)
ZelaumHunter-Paid commission and working on it.
+ If it is that one artist has in the past made art for me when I commissioned, I will likely do it again.
+ If it is a friend I know very well that referred me to an artist and that friend and artist are close, I will keep in mind of this and plan on future arts.

THESE ARE NO-NOs for me to get art from someone:
- Complete stranger messaging me for art and has NO gallery of their own art. If it is that a complete stranger does message me, it should be at least 15 of their own arts. I will use a picture ID to check.
- I HAVE HAD IT WITH THOSE WANTING COMMISSIONS FOR ILLNESSES! Few times I have commissioned some artists, and they have not done any progress.

OP
Out of my defense, it is from one that decided to block me when I posted this; I did want to remind myself to have me not forget what I have. I know a difference between a commission, trade and request, and noted it before revising this journal.
