Patron of Commission: Introduction
9 years ago
Myself and Khaws are fairly new to the site, and fairly new to being included into the world of 'Furry'. we have been Furry for quite some time but only in this last year have we ventured out into the world of, and tried something new, something wonderful, and have come to find that there is no other group a peers i find more enjoyment from being with, near, or talking to than other Furry like people.
Being part of the community and fandom as i am, ive taken a liking to helping out fellow Furrys. my first Con was Mid-West Fur Fest in December of 2015, in that weekend i helped well known artists and other venders by buying their stuff. i helped up and coming artists by buying little sketches, i took a pair out to lunch and paid for it out of my own financial pocket, bought drinks, danced (when i cant dance) fed, hugged, and just made a weekend full of memories.
So, i thought of no better way to help out some other artists and peers by buying commissions, and providing feedback on my experience with them. i will try to review the following:
-how my request was approached
-accuracy of quote for time given
-if i was provided mid-completion sketch and asked questions pertaining to commission
-price
-quality
-attitude of artist during the entire experience
-and some other stuff (to be added later, mentioned later, or neither)
i want to be clear, VERY clear, i am not out to ruin ANYONES income, i am not out to make fun, i am not out to hold anyone to any sort of candle, nor will i use this little project of mine as a means to put down artists and put up others based on personal bias. this...is...ONLY a recounting of my (our) experiances with artists i've commissioned. i will not feature artists i have not handed money to for work. so if you gift art to me, i will have a boner for you yes...but you will not get an entry for this journal arc. i will attempt to put one up once commission is complete. and i will attempt to put many of them up...but again this is out of pocket and i cant always afford a commission. so...dont expect weekly updates. but drop a line, tell me what you think.
if you like what i do let me know in the comments, if you abhor what i do then you can say that in the comments too. but if you get mean i reserve the right to laugh at you and try to live with the searing agony of not having you in my life. anyhoo, thanks for reading this far.
