[As a pre-note: I want to thank all of my commissioners for being so patient and understanding and absolute sweethearts. I know I still haven't gotten WIPs out, but I will get your suits done by the end-deadlines I set in place. This definitely is not directed at any of you.]I know of someone who might not take fursuit commissions anymore because their customers have constantly heckled them for updates, didn't read the artist's directions, and otherwise acted entitled towards them.
And that's not okay. at all. There is a constant theme of commissioners treating artists (across all mediums of art) with less respect and dignity than any other human being, and THAT. IS. NOT. EXCUSABLE. in the least.
It's perfectly understandable to want to know what you're putting your money into. But, that doesn't make it acceptable to heckle, get passive-aggressive, guilt-trip, or otherwise be moody and manipulative towards the artist. This kind of behavior is completely unnecessary.
YOU don't know the artist's mental situation. YOU should be listening to the artist. THEY are providing YOU with A SERVICE. YOU do not know BETTER than the ARTIST about their CRAFT. ARTISTS ARE NOT INVINCIBLE. WE ARE NOT SUPERHUMAN EMOTIONLESS ROBOTS. WE HAVE FEELINGS.
I've seen this going on for quite awhile and it takes so much effort not to call ppl out
b/c i am sossososososososososoososo pissed off
BE RESPECTFUL TO ARTISTS, NO MATTER THE MEDIUM

basically... a suitmaker has been getting harassed by customers, and it might be too much to deal with. basically customers being less than decent human beings :/
