Feeling unwanted.
11 years ago
Today was the first day I had an artist return payment due to my excessive and finicky tweaking. Today sucks, but designing something from the ground up always sucks especially when you cant find references that are workable enough and have to keep looking for more and end up just pissing the artist off... of course that isn't to say I don't have a problem personally. The artist has been nothing but patient and I've only ever pissed them off incrementally more and more... I wont name anybody, I'm not one of those who starts a blame-war for no particular reason, I just felt like writing about this to share an initial pain I'm pretty sure others have experienced if well and if not? Well, then I really am an unnecessarily finicky individual and I got what I had coming...

Think about your future requests and see if you are making the request too detailed. If it is, don't be angry with yourself and just tone the description down. Another alternative would be to ind an artist that will do everything you want. Just be expected to pay hundreds of dollars for your job.
Last word of wisdom....don't have any expectations. You can't be let down that way. If you don't like the final result after you've been back and forth with the artist getting things right in the preliminary sketch work, don't commission them again.
