Can we please talk about respecting artists for a moment? I just want to start by saying that this isn't about one specific situation. It's something that's been bothering me for a long time. I understand the whole "I'm paying, so I have expectations" mindset, and that's completely fair! But where do we draw the line between having expectations and making someone's job unnecessarily difficult? Creating art for someone requires communication and cooperation from both sides, not just the artist. I need your approval at certain stages of the process. I need you to answer my questions so I can make sure I'm creating exactly what you want. So, what's my point? I've lost count of how many times I've been completely ignored by clients for days or even weeks, only for them to suddenly come back asking, "Where's my drawing?" Please understand that if you want to receive your artwork on time and in the best possible quality, you need to communicate with your artist too! Another thing that's happened to me multiple times is clients deleting entire conversations that contain important references, sketches, and instructions for their commissions. How am I supposed to do my job when the information I need to work with suddenly disappears? 😭 I genuinely put so much effort and care into every single piece I create. I always try to work as efficiently as possible and make sure every commission is something I'm 100% happy with, even if that means redrawing something multiple times because it doesn't feel right to me. And that's exactly why I'm asking for a little more understanding and cooperation. You're spending your hard-earned money on my art, and I want to make sure you're getting something that's truly worth it. But for that to happen, I need your help too. Respecting artists isn't just about paying them. It's also about respecting their time, their work, and the effort they put into creating something for you. I'm not asking for much, just a little patience, communication, and mutual respect so we can make the whole process smoother and more enjoyable for both of us. Thank you to everyone who already does this. I genuinely appreciate you more than you know. ❤️
