This rant is brought to you today by a conversation my mate  rocko and I

He was given an art request, 3 pics inked, I won't say what type or who did the requesting because that's not the point. He's a a real sweetheart so he ended up doing it for him finishing them last night. One would think that it was a done deal, but the requester posted about how he wanted them drawn up differently, suggesting details he would want the most post-production. These suggestions weren't even brought up when the piece was initially requested. I know this may sound like a small thing but for an artist to do a request for someone he doesn't know especially 3 pages of it, that's time and effort spent already. The best thing to do for the requester is to accept it with gratitude because the artist never had to do it in the first place.

Normally, I don't even do request because I'm busy with school and other projects and time is money to me (not trying to be an asshole, but I feel commissioner pay not only for the art but for the time spent making it) though if the idea interests me I'll consider it.

This is not even a slam at requesters but as the topic title states the finicky ones, a request is just that, a request. I doesn't need to be fulfilled, or amazingly executed unless the artist deems so and if the artist does it, just be grateful of this gift horse... not in the mouth looking :3
