Instead of posting 50 reminder submissions and journals every day, why not increase your prices? Instead of opening 80 commission and YCH slots while not working on the ones you owe from a year ago, why not increase your prices? Don't want someone asking for a refund because it's been months and you've not even provided lineart? Why not increase your prices???????
Seriously. I see artists taking on unrealistic amounts of work on here every day, and that ends up with nobody being happy. Artists draw themselves to death and clients never see the work they paid for.
Take it from someone who knows. Don't do this to yourselves. Up your prices.

Yeet. I think it's important people understand they're also poisoning the pool for the rest of us artists by doing that. "Well X will do ABC for $35 and they also give me WIPs and XYZ- why can't you?" And it creates incredibly unrealistic standards I have to shut down or get pressured by.
Artists also won't have so many shitty clients if they raise their prices and provide higher quality content. It weeds out the ones who whine because something is now $35(still barely anything) instead of $20.

Yeah, that's true too!
I drew this as both an artist who has been doing commissions (and still struggles with them) and a client who has been ghosted by multiple people post-payment.
As a rule of thumb I try to at the VERY least keep in touch with my clients and reassure them repeatedly that I am working on their art. It sometimes takes me months, but I never shut them out and always reply to their queries. These people just bounce.
And like, yeah. They're creating an atmosphere of competition by agreeing to slave labor essentially and lowering the expectations of everyone else on-site. The rest of us can't afford to lower our prices and can lose clientele due to it.

Happened with me with one artist I commissioned who had an incredibly huge queue with low prices and thus expected their clients to wait 6+ months, and when I asked for a refund they said they couldn’t pay me back because they spent it all even though they didn’t start anything.
