"I hate to say it, but in the furry community artists get MUCH more slack than they really should sometimes."
They also often work for less than minimum wage. You get what you pay for. Not to say that excuses some of the antics... after all you set your own prices, but it's like the difference between getting McDonald's and going to a fancy resturant. If these people were to pay actual industry prices then I'm sure there would be far less of these issues, because teh people that produce the art would be professionals- literally- and would be able to be taken to small claims if they DIDN'T produce the work they wished. But if you're out 25 bucks, then it's kind of like "oh well better luck next time".
