artists_bewareIf you've had a great commission experience, either as an artist or a customer, please comment here and spread the word.

Time Period: November 3rd, 2013
Details: I commissioned them for a signature featuring my hatchery name and one of my dragons. They finished it extremely quickly and the quality was fantastic! I then commissioned eight banners to be used on my hatchery forum thread. Within hours, they were completed.
Possum was extremely polite and professional during our exchanges and I highly recommend them! :)

Time Period: October 5th, 2013
Details: I purchased two pre-poses to be customized as my character. The artist gave me a $1 discount because I'd bought more than one, and the turnaround was only a few hours!
I'll definitely be a return customer in the future!

TIMEFRAME: Commissioned her October 22, she had it finished on October 26. The second commission: I commissioned her October 27th and she had it done on the 31st.
DETAILS: She held a slot for a doll with free shipping, so I took it! I was super happy. She got my character right and I absolutely love it :) After that I commissioned her for another doll for my friend's birthday, which she finished SUPER fast! I love the work I get from Julie, she does such a wonderful job. Everyone needs to go take a look at her page, and if you can, commission her. You will be blown away with how well she brings your characters to life :)

4. Ricket opened for animated icons, so I took one. Her animated icons are great and well worth the wait! She had attempted two different things for this icon and didn't like them (though sent them anyway) before settling on this one. I love it so much, it is perfect!

4. I got a word bubble icon and a custom 5 dollar icon (currently using) and both turned out awesome. I just said a Pokeball for the word bubble and they chose a Net ball, which goes great with my insect hybrid character. Just that extra little attention to detail and quick turnaround (Word bubble got the same day, custom I believe the day after) makes nijipie a great artist in my book.

4.) Zenia and I had done an art trade in the past and I loved what she made for me then, when I saw she hadn't sold some pre posed sketches off I thought I'd buy one. It only took her like a day to finish up the image for me! I love love love the image! You can see it here: http://ic.pics.livejournal.com/nakoothetauren/24115328/163510/163510_original.png

Time: Commissioned on Sept 20th, finished on Oct 11th
Details: A very friendly and talented artist! I really adore how she draws muscular male characters, so I had to get a commission from her. She was very sweet and flexible with my paying her. I highly recommend her for those who have male humanoid characters! She does great work!
Here's what she did for me:

Date: 2013-11-05 04:02 pm (UTC)Site: http://larg-san.deviantart.com/
Time: I've doing commissions for him for more than a year.
Details: He's very comprehensive about time, I'm very disciplined about deadlines, but the very few times I’d had to move the deadline he had been very polite and sometimes he give me a couple of more days from the day the deadline was settle. He never complains about price, and he pays upfront. It’s easy to negotiate with him.

Time: I started working on commissions for him around 3 weeks ago.
Details: Very honest when it comes to negotiate (Mention to the artist if they are under pricing), very comprehensive about time. Give good references and descriptions when it comes to draw a character from zero.

Time: October 8th- October 10th
Details: I saw their commission sheet on the front page and loved their linework so much I had to get into contact with them. They'd never done a ref sheet before so I had to put my trust in them and I am so glad I did! They sent me multiple wips and doodles they did to get my character right and it turned out fantastic!

CB is always a pleasure to work with. This is my second time commissioning her and her stuff is always quality. Any small changes I asked were made, and she was flexible.

SuketchiLT
Date: 2013-11-05 06:49 pm (UTC)Link: FurAffinity (http://www.furaffinity.net/user/suketchilt), DeviantArt (http://suketchilt.deviantart.com/)
Date: October 2nd
Details: In September I contacted SuketchiLT via Facebook about commissioning her for some anniversary artwork of my boyfriend and I's superhero characters-- It wasn't really "needed" until October 1st, but I thought I'd contact her early since I know she's often busy with real-life stuff, and told her not to worry about a deadline or anything for the same reason. She accepted the commission and after a couple of weeks of discussing the characters' personalities, possible poses for the pair, and WIP sketches, she had it done for October 2nd. I couldn't be happier with the result! <3
This isn't the first time I've commissioned SuketchiLT-- her professionalism and openness makes her wonderful to work with, and she's probably my go-to artist when I'm looking to get some character work done. I highly recommend her!

Date: October 30th
Details: Ahh I wanted to commission her as soon as I started watching her, but sadly she was closed at the time.
But thankfully she opened up a week ago and I managed to grab a slot.
Quick response, sent a WIP without me asking for one, and extremely fast turn out as well. I'm most def going to hit her up again. c:

3. Time Period: October
4. Details:
I posted a journal asking for people open for commissions to toss some samples and prices late September, TGS commented there, and I approached them about a two character, full background image early October. I received a sketch within a few days, and the final in about two weeks from the start of the commission. Very pleasant to work with, providing WIPs, and had no issue getting a minor tweak made during those steps.

4. I've also commissioned Mirroreyes before, and her work is always beautiful, and she always gets everything perfect for anything I commission. She was open for icon commissions so I purchased one. She did a fantastic job and I was able to watch her color it in a livestream.

Date: 2013-11-06 07:24 pm (UTC)Link: http://www.furaffinity.net/user/cupcakecreature/
Time Period: October 18-31
Details: Commissioned Cupcake for a couple's icon. She uses Google Forms so it was really easy to fill out a form. For the most part her list of commissions were cohesive, though the type of Icons I wanted were spaced weird so I wasn't 100% sure if they were the ones I requested. Luckily they were. Got them fairly quickly and they were exactly how I wanted them. Very professional artist with an adorable style.

3. Approximate time period of when you did business with this person: 2 weeks
4. Details (Here's where you tell us why they are so awesome! What made the transaction go so well? Perhaps link to the art or suit you bought/sold if you feel like sharing. Please mark NSFW if the subject matter is adult!!): I was initially interested in them after their post on this site. After I finally attended the same convention as them I was able to sample their products first hand. They were amazing. I ordered from them online a few months later. I initially gave them the wrong address to ship it to and quickly emailed them explaining the confusion. They gave me a quick response and I got my soap at the right address promptly.
Re: Contact Caffeine
Date: 2013-11-07 09:40 pm (UTC)I really love their stronger, more masculine scents, even though I am a girl. I have never received as many 'wow you smell awesome' compliments as I have since I started using their products! Now I hope den warmers come out (again?) soon. I want some!

4. Details: I was initially nervous about commissioning this artist due to the immense distance. However, this artist was offering a neat product for a decent price so temptation took over. I commissioned for an acrylic keychain of my fursona and it turned out BEAUTIFUL. The artist was amazing as well. communication was quick and prompt. His grammar wasn't the best due to English being his second language but he was able to communicate to me clearly. The turn around time was less than predicted and the predicted time was reasonable as well.

3. Nov. 21st, Nov. 26th 2013
4. These were in-stream sketches, taken and finished on the same day each time. He was polite and enthusiastic, and his stream was one of the best organized I've attended in terms of how the artist took commissions and maintained the queue. These were meant to be quick commissions, done entirely in a single stream, but he went above and beyond on each of them.
