So I know I'm really new to the community so I don't know if this is a common thing, but as someone who deals in advertising design and photography this irks me. If I pay you in advance to do something for me then I ask that you just keep me updated and communicate with me. I don't care if this is via a queue link or by email. I JUST WANT TO KNOW THAT STUFF I'VE ALREADY PAID FOR IS GETTING DONE. For every freelance advertising job I've been given I always give my client regular emails, regardless of whether I've been paid yet or not! If I've ordered something from you and you don't even keep me updated the how am I supposed to know that I didn't just send money to a scam.
Like it's not hard to just check in with someone. Like a "hey I've received your payment and reference, I'll start as soon as I can!" I don't even care if its just a sketch and it takes you a month, just let me know when you intend to get around it. This isn't even just so I can make sure you as the artist is doing what you need to be doing, it's so I as the client can know I'm doing everything I need to do! Like if you didn't receive my ref and it's been like a week THEN TELL ME! There's always a chance that I fucked up somewhere along the way, so it never hurts to let me know.
Now, on the other hand if the art is a gift/free then you do you boo. Keep me in the loop if you feel like it or if you don't then that's cool too. It's free. It's just nice that you are even giving me the art. I mean don't get me wrong I appreciate every piece of artwork I receive, paid or free.
But like I said, maybe this is just the typical thing and I'm just being selfish. I don't know. I also know that the only people that are going to see this are not the people I'm referring to it's just something I had to put this out there.
