FA Artist heads up

[cerari.livejournal.com]

First time posting here, but after stumbling onto this user's journal I thought a heads up to this community might not be a bad idea.

User is JinDragonWolf (http://www.furaffinity.net/user/jindragowolf/) - they posted a journal about how they may cancel their current commissions since they have been taking so long and "not feeling up to them", and then start over with higher prices to get a Wacom. Oh, and they can't afford to give refunds at this time either.

Journal : http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/1357331/

Let me put it this way;

I don't commission people who do art 'as a hobby'. If I commission someone (rarely) I commission people who do art for a living, like I do.

That's fine. That's your opinion. :O I can think of a number of reasons that that sort of thing might happen and be appropriate so.

I donno, I see it as they shouldn't have even used the money because the product hasn't been created yet. The money was not theirs to use until it was.

But yeah, like you said opinion.

If you have ever done art for a living, you'd know that isn't always possible, especially if you aren't the 'popular' furry artist who gets commissions out the wazoo. Bills need to be paid.

I have, and I do know. But I actually try and complete things that have been paid for. Instead of pretending that commissioners are a bank and I'm just getting loans.

If I do need to just use the funds, I say I need funds for x, so that way people are in the loop.

With that said, I actually need to get off the net and work on one now! :)
