Honestly dealing with people and even trying to get commissions going at this point is a hassle. Unless you're ready to drop the equivalent of a down payment on a house or unless you're real buddy buddy with most artists then you just get ignored. It's extremely sad really and takes a lot of joy out of being a furry when all you continue to see is nothing but negativity brewing constantly.

Yeah it unfortunately seems like most of the artists I had good past experiences with either are on hiatus or just simply don't do commissions anymore, which is really heartbreaking. But thank you very much for the recommendations! I will definitely check them out And let them know you sent me! And I hope things get better for you as well :D
