Artists, credit your clients.
4 years ago
Should clients credit the artist when posting artwork they commissioned? Yes. Of course.
Should artists credit the client when posting artwork of their OC the client commissioned? Also yes. Yet I see this reciprocity all too often (conveniently?) forgotten.
(The obvious exception to the above is if either the artist or the client asked to remain anonymous.)
Artists, it costs you nothing to namedrop the client when posting a commission. And besides, you wouldn't want the client to *not* credit you when sharing your art on their own feed, right?
Personally, I remember which artists linked back to me when they shared the artwork I commissioned from them. I also remember those who did not. The former I am likely to commission again. I can't say the same for the latter.
Sorry for the rant, but this one's been bugging me lately and I had to get it out of my system. 😤

Some ppl have really weird names (on FA) hard to remember with gibberish numbers here and there too.
