"Oh sorry, you're too fat to commission me..."
13 years ago
So I been looking to get some art done of me, like the completely awesome
did recently. Even been using the banner ads because I thought those were supposed to be the available people.
Two inquiries sent, and two responses along the lines of "oh, I can't/don't draw that body type." So who says that RL attitudes can't influence art, huh?
Or is it a sadder statement that artists here would rather keep cranking out the same cookie-cutter body shapes they've been doing instead of pushing their skills?
Or is it just a very polite way of saying "Ew...fat people.....icky"?
Ah well. I guess I'll take the money I was going to put into commissions (unless I get someone who's both decent and affordable who wants to respond here) and put it into ...me. Feed the fat tiger...and make myself more undesirable to the masses. Fuck the cookie cutters. Pass the cookies. ;X)

On the flip side though, I think some artists worry more about disappointing their customers when taking a shot at a new style than they do upsetting a potential customer by stonewalling certain types. It's not something I've dealt with personally, but I've heard horror stories from other artists who tried a new style/type, or dealt with a very detailed character and ended up with said customer demanding a refund and trying to put them on any artist beware site they could because they got it 'wrong' or 'not what they wanted'.
Best of luck finding an artist though. You've got a nice big fella. Maybe aokamidu could do ur big stripey fella :) http://www.furaffinity.net/user/aokmaidu/
I just wanna say I <3 this.
I don't let people commission me kids. It's not that I hate them, they just have different anatomy from what I'm used to. Same with people. My dad's on the heavier side I would NEVER, judge people or deny people are solely based on their physique, I'm sorry if you're offended by my reply. I didn't want to come off rude.
