Please answer the following questions below 3nodding
1. What do you normally order when you want avatar art ? (Ex. chibi, bust, full body)
I've never actually 'ordered' avatar art. I did have someone ask to use an avatar of mine for artwork, though.
2. Do you like your artwork to have a background ? Depends on what it is; sometimes a background is good, sometimes it isn't necessary.
3. Do you want a copy of your artwork made to put in your signature (500 x 500 pixels) ?
Again, depends on what it is.
4. Do you like simple art or lots of detail ? Determined by subject matter - no one answer.
5. Type of art ? Realism, Anime, etc. I like art that's harmonious. I don't do disturbing, ugly or inappropriate stuff. I know that this doesn't sound specific but there's a lot of factors that go into "like".
6. Payment method ? (Ex. Pay before ordering, half now + half once it's done, pay when it is done) I've never paid for art. Half n' half sounds fair.
7. Do you usually include items with gold for ordering art ? see 6.
8. Do you like people who keep bumping art shops ? No idea/no opinion.
9. What was the longest you've ever waited for free/paid art ? Were you satisfied with the wait ? I waited quite awhile for a free piece. Considering how nice the art was (and that it was free, after all, I didn't mind waiting.
10. How expensive is TOO expensive for commissioned art ? No idea.
11. Do you like to receive free art or discounts every now and then ? Receiving free art is very nice. Giving discounts to regular customers keeps them coming back.
12. Do you normally refer other people to your favorite art shop ? I don't have any experience with art shops.
13. What are your thoughts regarding bribes ? Do you feel that it is unfair for those that don't have a lot of gold ? If you can't pay, well, you don't get things. Very simple. It's not a 'bribe'.
14. Please post some bad experiences you've had with art shops here on Gaia.
