Gunna make this short and sweet before the beers steal my typing prowess. Don't commission people when they are "Strapped For Cash". I don't even need to explain this one. I mean, really. Just scroll down "artists_beware" and read what every other posting starts with.

Now, discuss "Why".

EDIT: OK, I edited this rather than reply to 22 posts made overnight. I do most my internetting from work but I don't have that much little to do. Also I'm sober now enough to make with the explaining. At least, to make with the "my actual opinion on the subject".

LJ cut for those who don't give a fuuuuuuuuuuuuuu~

Someone else who cheats artists

[akktri.livejournal.com]

This isn't furry, but it is a group of people that certainly cheat artists out of hard work.
It's a company called Right Choice Publishing. They're a business in Lee's Summit, Missouri. I advise you not to do any work for them. They make you do a lot of free work, and you don't get paid until the designs are done `right,' which is hardly ever. Designers are supposed to work from their home and send stuff in, but I didn't have that luxury. Yet, despite me coming into their office every day, and working long hours in their cramped, drafty basement, my official title was still `Self Employed Subcontractor.' They demanded I spend long hours tweaking files and fixing images FOR FREE, and, even more insulting, I had to constantly fix their company logos and air filter advertisements for no pay whatsoever.
They have lawyers. You sign a contract to work there. I suggest you never work for these people, because once you're signed up, you're screwed.
