Drama with commish... kind of
13 years ago
So there has been some furrys (to be exact 3) and well how this i put this, i know i dont draw that nice, but i guess my art is decent, im really hard with myself when it comes to drawing or working for(with) other people, because i tend to fuck things up, so im used to never be satisfied with what i work on, and this commish thingie, i dont know if some of ya commish me cause ya fellas are pals (maybe yes maybe not) but well... straight to the point.
I was commisioning these fellas and some of them started well acting kinda rude, all of them wanted me to lower my prices and well i cant do that (they are already way to freaking cheap) one of them even wanted me to make a commish of 4 characters for 10$... and others were like, ¨you gotta send me the finished product and i decide if i pay ya or not¨ bitch! did ya think im that stupid?, and actually all three of em (and a 4th one) mentioned, that they might ass well commish WFA or grisser and bla bla bla, look fellas i know that this might sound like a crying little bitch but please if ya ever gonna ask me for something... dont make me feel so useless, im already really hard on myself when i draw and well i kinda try the best and it´s ok to tell me that you dont like my art for this or that reason... but never compare me to somewone who is ovbious more experienced than me and make me feel like i cant be like them... that´s what really make a critical hit on me so, if ya want commish from me fine, but if ya can get commish from a better one then do it but dont bother me right now.
ps: mr tiger(ya know who ya are) you are not included in this people.

FA+

I hope you things get better for you too.. and you are not bad or horrible for bringing up a point like this.. ^^
You may lose those few customers who wanna be cheap as hell, but in the end, you upheld your prices. As for paying AFTER getting the finished piece... I think that's an old trick. "Ha! I got the art and now I don't pay up! What now!?"
That is low... VERY low.
Don't EVER let a commissioner get you down like that. Like Swyong said; You are not a slave. You are an artist. The person asking for your time has no power. You have it all, so if guy A is a complete dick, just tell him that you won't do it. I'm pretty sure that'll change his tune.
