Things That Need Clarifying
14 years ago
General
Ok before I begin my rant I want to say this is not aimed at any one person and I am trying really hard not to sound like a bitch, if you are offended I am sorry. But these following things have happened SEVERAL times and I am tired of reexplaining.
Problem 1] I send a sketch for approval to a commissioner before inking, I ALWAYS do this, that is the easiest time to make major changes. Things I may have missed etc. Big things mind, like I get a design of an outfit wrong or miss wings or something. This is the time that you tell me these things, not once the picture is approved, inked, colored, and posted. At that point I WILL NOT be making those changes if you did not specify them at previous stages. It means I have to redo part of the image adding to the time it takes to complete, and adding to my workload because I then have to re-save it re-upload and send it out again.
TL;DR Please give me ALL changes and specify ALL details in the beginning, I will not make huge changes at the end when you have approved the image and it is posted.
Problem 2] People trying to commission me for things that I have never drawn. A small challenge for say a race I have never drawn is fine. Asking me to draw a cub getting anally raped by a dinosaur is another thing [dramatic exaggeration]. Look at my gallery before asking for art from me, and if the subject isn't there don't ask for it please I am likely to say no and I really hate getting butthurt messages back because you didn't look close enough at the things I draw. [ie things like hyper, animal dicks, etc. that do not EVER show up in my work because I just don't draw them] Please be more aware of WHO you are commissioning and less on the freaky shit you want them to draw when it isn't in their style or repertoire at all. For smaller things if you are not sure feel free to ask me but if I say no don't rage.
TL;DR Look at the gallery first before asking for art from me, I have the right to say no to ideas. Don't get butthurt.
Problem 3] DO NOT note me asking for free art, especially on this account, this is a PAID WORK account and I cannot afford to give random furry 039857 free art just cuz they asked. I do it for friends rarely as it is because art is my living and I need the time I spend drawing to make money for bills and food and the like. People I know will get away with asking, anyone else will get blatantly ignored. If I do free art that is in my choosing and you are not entitled to it just cuz you were nice.
These are the only major problems I have had working with furries over the last year. Also PLEASE READ my journals before commenting, some questions I get are clearly stated above and it is simply because people see "commissions open" and don't read the details. I hate feeling like an asshole so hopefully this journal clarifies some things and keeps me from having to be one in the future.
End Rant!

make sure all this is clearly shown near the commission info so people don't miss it.
And really drill people for point #1, ask them twice if there's -anything- that needs to be changed
(maybe even give them an hour or so to look over it)
Unfortunately the only way to get through to a lot of people is give em a swift kick. We can only hope that people get the message. I'm sorry you had to deal with this.
