How not to treat an artist.
5 years ago
Hey everyone.
I'd like to share what also is putting me on a week hiatus other than my hand.
Seems someone decided that my art was not satisfactory. Any other time I would happily make edits, but here's the thing.
-I stream my art for anyone to make in the moment edits.
-I always link my sketch before line work for edits
-I give you plenty of opportunity to make changes before the final process.
If given all that opportunity, you respond like this.. Do not commission artists. You are not allowed to let the full process carry out without speaking up just to turn around and say "Give me my money back." I've a ToS that explains exactly what you get and expectations. (Found here.)
In 10 years of commission work I've never been treated so poorly. I put my heart even in the simplest pieces. I've had my name attempted to be smeared by a fellow artist, and now a commissioner publicly posting my art with the most immature fit I've ever seen.
Needless to say I've had the worst 24 hours of my life crying and just general upset over this. This is what makes things hard for commissioners, this is what makes artists strict. This behavior right here. I will not say his name publicly a I do not want retaliation against him, it will come his way some other way but I will not condone it.
I'm deeply hurt. I just need to process.

"can I have the layered file?"
"no sorry"
"ok np! Thanks a lot for your work <3"
Mainly he was saying I never drew the pose, I used a 'template.'
I'm sorry you had to deal with this inconsiderate, incompetent, jackass, Corks.
Take the time to process and recover, but you definitely weren't at fault here. Whiny fucks gonna be whiny. Especially when they try to pull a stunt and don't get their way.
And at the same time I'm glad that it's the first person who treated you like that, as in, 10 years without encountering a jerk like this is a lot! I would know;
Still, that doesn't excuse his behaviour. I hope your day is going to get better!
Seems like not even the art business is safe from Karens. Oof...
