On busy artists:
13 years ago
Okay, I try not to stir up drama, so I'm not going to name the specific artist involved; I kept things polite on their journal-page because that's just basic civility. But this is my page, so I'm gonna get a little potty-mouthed.
Still:
If you are an artist, and you are selling commissions, you are also selling yourself.
You wouldn't buy a product from a salesperson who was short-tempered and rude with you, right? If you're going to bitch about 'oh waaaa, people keep wanting to commission me and make me busy and I can't do things" in response to a polite "wow, these backgrounds are detailed, you ought to do a comic!".... fuck you, I'll make sure you have plenty of free time by NOT FUCKING COMMISSIONING FROM YOU, ASSHOLE.
People showing interest in your work is not an inconvenience.

I can only add to this "if you are so busy and overwhelmed why are you taking commissions to begin with?"

OP
Well, no, I can understand that to a point - one likes to have a roof overhead and food to eat, and commission money is either good supplemental income or main income for some.
