Things People Say To Artists...

[ginkaruja.livejournal.com]

And commissioners as well...

I hope this is allowed....
I am trying to compile a list of things people have said to artists and commissioners that have a negative view/stance on various subjects surrounding art. Mediums, pricing, marketing, art itself, methods, etc.  Anything and everything, even if it seems minor. What arguments have you seen out there?
Please number/point if you have more than one to share.

Examples of what I'm looking for:
-Digital is worth more than traditional.
-Art isn't a real job. (Everyone knows this one)
-Digital art is cheating.
-Patreon is a scam/paywall.

Variations on the same thing and details are welcome because sometimes it can add another dynamic to the opinion that must also be tackled.

Yes, this is DEFINITELY a HUUUUUUGE problem with fursuit makers and it seems to be getting worse over time. There are makers who used to be great but I wouldn't even think about commissioning now because of this.

Might be scaling problems or something, I don't know. But it was one of the main drivers I created FursuitReview-- to keep track of that sort of thing.

But, it's not unique to fursuit makers, obviously. Been shafted by drawing artists, too.
