How to properly order commissions

[Annie Felis]

I had to add a point I totally forgot: don't offer "credit for your work" as payment. This kind of BS drives me nuts and I'm surprised that I totally forgot it.

Sadly, this happens in real life too. I had one guy who asked for a commission saying that "Your payment is getting your painting hanged on my wall". Insulting my intelligence much...
Who the hell is going to notice that?! Your grandma? Your pet dog? No one important is going to notice it. Is it that difficult to pay an artist for their painting and their time? rolleyes

People really have strange perceptions of themselves. I always wonder how someone could think they're God's gift to humanity. I mean unless you're actually famous or have a live webcam show where everyone on the internet will see this painting or whatever else, chances are that glory gets contained to you, your cat/dog, and the one friend you've managed to keep. Maybe your landlord.

Then again that sort of thing is possible where I live. My city's so big into local "art" that I've known people to almost faceplant me against a mucky canvas saying "LOOK AT THIS, IT'S FROM A LOCAL ARTIST ISN'T IT AWESOME?!" Granted the name escapes them, but oh boy you bought a painting consisting of one color and bottle caps glued on it in no pattern, exciting.

This topic is relevant, especially due to Christmas holidays and big amount of spam called "art requests in wrong forum"

Chatterbox is not a trashheap. ******** YOU.

Chatterbox is not a trashheap. ******** YOU.

It is a trashheap for a guide that is meant to exist in the art forums. Any sort of moved topic would get buried under pages of "MY MOM STOLE MY CELL PHONE WTF" and "would you take it in the a**?". If that isn't heaps of forum trash, I don't know what is.

It's okay, I spoke to a different mod, and she said if I fix the formatting and post it in the Test Forum, she'll move it to Guides and Resources for me. She can relate, but she can't do anything since one mod cannot undo what another mod has done, no matter how ******** stupid it is.
