Monthly Positive Reviews: February 2017!

[oceandezignz.livejournal.com]

If you've had a great commission experience, either as an artist or a customer, please comment here and spread the word. It doesn't have to be a full-on story, though you're welcome to type one! All we need are a few lines on why this person was so great to work with. You can also recommend companies, such as printers or fursuit-making teams, as long as it's relevant!

There are plenty of reasons to post someone here: perhaps they went above and beyond the call of duty to fix a problem, or were so prompt with communication and payment it was like having them right next to you, or were very professional and courteous every time you contacted them.

To help keep things organized, please follow this simple form:

1. Name of the person you recommend:
2. Link to person's website or art page:
3. Approximate time period of when you did business with this person:
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!!):

If you have multiple people to recommend, please put them in separate comments to keep things organized.

Trades are just as welcome as paid transactions. But try not to post for friends (or yourself) who are looking to be commissioned. If customers are what they/you seek, teenycom, artsales or artcommissions is for them!

4. Details: Kittrel posted on Twitter announcing opening up for their Conversation Heart commissions. I had wanted to get one of these for a while now, but was unable to due to these only being available for a short while through Valentines Day. I tweeted saying that I was interested and a couple of days later, I messaged through Weasyl to finalize details. I received my commissions today!

Both pieces are SFW!

Name of the person you recommend: Vorpal_Kitten

Link to person's website or art page: http://www.furaffinity.net/user/vorpalkitten

Approximate time period of when you did business with this person: February 14th, 2017

Details: After making a post on the FurAffinity forums asking for artists who were open to drawing heavyset taur characters, Vorpal_Kitten was one of the people who responded. The next day I contacted them and gave them my references; in under an hour they had finished a sketch. Pleased with the art, I upgraded to a full line/color drawing, which was completed in less than four hours.

Vorpal was extremely communicative, checking with me every step of the way and even asking clarifying questions if they weren't totally sure of a detail to ensure they got everything 100% correct.

Highly recommended!

Name of the person you recommend: katx-fish
Link to person's website or art page: https://www.furaffinity.net/user/katx-fish/
Approximate time period of when you did business with this person: February 19th and 20th, 2017.
Details: I saw an ad on the front page for $10 toony-style commissions and asked if any slots were open. The artist replied yes and told me to send them a Note.

I sent a Note with a reference + idea/theme for the piece [my 'sona eating pizza]. Artist responded they could do it, told me their process [payment up-front and two WIPs provided], and I sent payment right away.

Within a couple of hours, I had the first WIP and approved it. Two hours later, the final WIP and the finished piece were done.

Speedy, great to work with, and very cute art! :)

1. Name of the person you recommend: Antiroo
2. Link to person's website or art page: https://www.furaffinity.net/user/antiroo
3. Approximate time period of when you did business with this person: Jan 1st - Feb 20th
(Has a busy schedule, so it's to be expected.)
4. Details: I had an unfinished sketch from an artist that gave me a refund, so I asked Antiroo to complete it. It was originally meant to be a one character piece, priced at around $120, but I didn't have the full amount at the time and so she agreed that I could pay her 105. I asked her to add a hand of another one of my character and she ended up essentially adding a second chara. When I asked if I had to pay for the extra character, she said it wasn't necessary.

All in all a quick turnaround considering the queue and very enjoyable to commission.
