I'm tired of chasing artists for information; I really am. I know you guys have lives, I can appreciate that as much as the next person, but if someone's paid you money (and in many cases, good amounts of it) up front in good faith, at least keep them in the loop. Nothing makes me feel more like an asshole than having to ask about it when I know you guys are busy, be it through commitments to Patreon supporters, or a queue of customers, or whatever other factors influence your time, but at the end of the day, you're already paid, and I'm twiddling my thumbs waiting sometimes weeks or months at a time for an answer to "how's it coming along?".
I'm not saying "hurry up and do my work!", I'm moreso asking "at least let me know what's going on.". Even if it's "I haven't done anything" or even "I forgot yours"(and that has happened), I'm happy to know there's at least some interaction. That's all. I'm perfectly okay and understanding of projects taking time and I actively encourage the artists I work with to take their time and not stress about it, but it's disheartening when some won't so much as send an answer in return.

That's why I stopped paying for commissions. Too many of them just taking my money and no word back.

Owch, that sucks to hear. Did they do the work or just disappear?

Many just disappear. Some only get halfway then disappear lol. Though as you see in my gallery, there are decent ones that stick through it. I can tell you some reliable ones if you want ^^

Same here lately. Been incredibly frustrating to find reliable artists who will always communicate and update. Had several examples recently where even getting a confirmation email was like pulling a tooth.
