A little upset and concerned...
11 years ago
Ok so I had recently posted a journal inviting for all who have received art from me to comment with some feedback on my work. So as a kick starter I went around and asked some people who have recently received art and or have multiple pieces from me and I thank those who I went to and did it without question you all are awesome. Some however have been hesitant and or have completely disregarded my request completely. Not sure why this is when I'm asking a very simple task of some of you. I don't need a perfectly written description putting me up on some high pedestal. Just need some public feedback. This is important to me in the idea that this is a public feedback system for newer commissioners to see what kind of work I do and what it is like to have business with me. If its just because you werent happy with my the work you know it's ok for you to say so? Aren't you supposed to be getting what you paid for? I have no problem making tweaks and fixing things to the commissioners standers. It's what every good business person should do. I have had a small handful of people completely keep quiet during the process of the piece until it's completion or they wont say anything at all and just act like the piece never existed not even post it or say "thank you". I understand the idea of hurting my feelings or getting into an argument with me but as my profile clearly states I am an easy going person and if I was confronted by an unhappy commissioner I would make sure to fix everything that I could to make them happy because thats what good business is all about. Always make sure the customer is happy and the customer is always right.... Not getting any kind of feedback after the completion of a piece upsets me because I don't know how they feel about it even if they repost it or not. It hurts me when people don't say anything then I can't do anything to fix it and make sure they like it. I want to be a good artist and I need to know if I am a good artist thats why I asked for the feedback. this isnt just for the public but its for me too so I know that I am doing a good job.
So again if you have ever commissioned me or traded or even received a gift from me.. some feedback would be highly appreciated.

but I will say that I really love your art. even though it was only a badge trade that we did for FWA, your details into Amai's hair and wings was fantastic. and the anatomy for her was very well done <3
It might also be that if people have an average experience they just don't have anything to hilight, positive or negative, so they feel uncomfortable being pushed into coming up with something describing what they didn't feel in the first place.
And, the commenter above is right... there are a lot of people who think that making any kind of comment is potentially rude. Pity. Way I look at it, how is any kind of artist going to improve if he/she doesnt get good critique? *grins* Notice all the cracks in the Sistine Chapel? Should have patched them up BEFORE painting...
