Re: Things you should know about commissioning

[(Anonymous)]

This response is aggravating. I commented elsewhere but I am also an artist (as well as someone who commissions other artists). When people commission me, I understand they are expecting me to produce something equal to my existing body of work, whether is a sketch or a complete, multi-character piece with an ultra-detailed background, they want the piece to be of the same standard as the works I use to get commissions in the first place.

So many of the comments here are acting like it's wrong to expect consistency. Yeah, artists aren't machines, but if you're going to use your best work to garner customers, then you should deliver - if you need more time to put out something decent, ask for it. I would never give a client something substandard; it's insulting to them and it just makes me look bad.

€100 is not an insignificant amount of money, even if it isn't a lot. I hope other people considering commissioning artists understand that it is OK to not like the artwork that is produced, to ask for WIPs on detailed pieces, and to speak up as soon as you see a problem regardless of how popular someone is. Most artists want to make their customers happy and shouldn't take it personally.

I agree. The problem here is that OP didn't communicate with her artist.

Or that the artist didn't send sketches...

As apparently it's the way most fan-artists who draw commissions do.
