"Is that okay?"
12 years ago
Did I make my commission info sound really harsh or something? Because since I rewrote it, that's what every single person who commissioned me has said. It's like, "Hi, would it be alright, if I commissioned you for so and so? If that's okay?". It makes me feel like the Soup Nazi and you're all trembling and scared when you note me asking for a commission. I know I kinda wrote it cold and emotionless, but I just tried to keep it as professional and business-like as I could.
So, like, yeah, I don't know what's going on, but I don't want to be intimidating.
And every time I read it, I want to respond with, "As a matter of fact, it isn't!":

I know when I commission someone I like to check the artist is okay with everything, I use please and thank you a lot, that kind of thing.
Your info seems fine to me, it's professional. You're listing your prices and your terms, not talking about a summer vaction :P
Not sure if what you're talking about is courtesy so much as malformed but real respect. You're in the midst of an internet community, displaying rare traits of assertiveness and confidence; f'sure you're professional (and people who want to commission you will commission you whichever way you end up writing it), it's just that others here aren't so much, and might not know how to approach that as an equal. [Furries, man.]
Either way, I wouldn't have done it, because I don't think I can draw birds well. Feathers and wings are complicated.
Dissapointed, but I still intend to molest your tablet and throw money at you some time, 'cos I enjoy what you do.
