Help stop the arrogance
Posted 15 years ago" There is a massive problem among the vast majority of artists out there. Regardless of if you call it arrogance, pompousness, pigheadedness, green, stuck up, swollen headed or just plain ignorance it all comes down to the same thing; THESE FUCKING CUNTS THINK THEIR SHIT DOSE NOT STINK!
By commissioning and brown nosing these artists routinely you, yourself are adding to the problem and diminishing the fun that art was meant to be!
When an artists head inflates so do their prices! So rather than having simple and fair rates they now expect triple digit figures for their "services" and like an ebola infection others take note and follow suit. This is bad all around!
So the next time you have a little money to toss away why not instead look into a donation to your local charity instead of padding the wallets of these arrogant greedy pigs?
I am sure that knowing you helped give a poor person a chance to better their lives will grant you more satisfaction in the long run than having a image of mutated-hyper-wolf-penises any day!

Advice on Commissions
Posted 15 years agoNow this is info based on decades of experience in commissioning. Take this as <b>advice only</b> in the event you commish.
What to <b>AVOID!</b>:
-Heavy interfering watermarks (aka drama-marks)
Diagnosis: Artist thinks their shit don't stink and will be very nitpicky about the use of the work YOU paid for.
-Community spirit (good communication)
Diagnosis: Artists with good community spirit take more pride in their craft and are MORE likely to finish your pic in a shorter amount of time that an arrogant cunt.
-Pay in full up front (MAJOR RED FLAG!)
Diagnosis: Artist is likely running a scam and won't do your pic. <b>NO PAYMENT SHOULD BE EXCHANGED UNTIL THE CLIENT HAS APPROVED A ROUGH SKETCH!</b>
-Use paypal <3
Diagnosis: If dissatisfied by your experience in any way you can file a claim with them and get your money back! :)
-Local? (Local artist good)
Diagnosis: Dealing with a local artist makes things much easier in the event you must file a claim.
