The madness is upon us! February blew by (for some literally... so windy!) and now March is toe tappin' into our homes. And so is the monthly Positive Reviews post for ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
artists_beware!
We ask that you give us a few lines of what made this such a great experience for you and why this person is so wonderful in your book. You can recommend say a fursuiting group or an artist enclave as well.
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:
Subject line: Name of person/company you recommend
1. Name of the person/company you recommend.
2. Link to their website or art page.
3. Approximate time period of when you did business with them.
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 so everyone has their own spotlight.
Lets see who gets their spot at the end of the rainbow this month! Ready... go!

3. feb 10
4. i had previously got a sketch from her iron artist thingie, and she opened for regular commissions on the 10th. i payed her promptly at midnight, and she was very helpful considering i didn't have the best ref for color... i woke up the next day and she was already done with my art! and it's simply a steal at her prices, she's amazing ^^ best birthday present ever ^^ and i believe she's still open right now!

3. Mid/late December
4. I'd posted over on ArtCommissions about looking for someone to commission for a two-character piece of me and my boyfriends' two naga characters. She messaged me on Furcadia a short while after showing interest in doing the lineart for $25. Looking through her gallery and loving her art, I agreed to commission her. Communication was constant, and in just a few days she'd shown me a rough sketch for approval and was working on inking. She was an absolute pleasure to work with, and even offered to fix a detail for free that I'd forgotten to mention in one of the characters' descriptions. Now once I have the money to spend, I'm absolutely going back to her when her commissions are open again to have her color the linework, too. :3 I'd absolutely recommend her to anyone!

January
It was a pre-posed lineart commission, which I requested permission to colour myself. After sending her payment she had the sketch modified as my character within a few hours, when I approved it she had the finished lineart done and emailed to me within 2 days. She was a real pleasure to work with, very polite and friendly.

3. Early February
4. She was very prompt with getting my commission to me before Valentine's Day and was able to take two descriptions and turn them into a sweet picture depicting my new fursona as well as my boyfriend's. Her style is (as always) incredibly adorable and after getting a badge from her during FWA '09, I wanted to make sure I got something else from her! Will totally commission again in the future. :D!

3. Last Summer, unsure of exactly what time period because I am derp.
4. Was pleasant to work with! :D Watched them stream part of the commission and they constantly used refs so I was sure she was doing her best to get my little characters right and actually CARED about the commission and not just think "oh, glance at the ref for a second and doodle something up."
They took a simple idea and setting I suggested and turned it into a really cute drawing. :D
I plan on doing business with TB again soon. :3
And link to the picture they drew:

4. Did a wonderful job working with something a little different than her usual subject matter. She followed my concept art very well, along with the character's personality, and I love the use of colors in the piece. Very much worth the money. Two thumbs up, would DEFINITELY commission her again.

They set a deadline each time and offered to lower the price if they didn't meet it. Work was done fast and both were shipped to me, something I'm not used to artists offering. A+ would commission again.

3. February 15th to February 18th
4. I gave Brokowski a short description of what I wanted (mock-up band poster for 'Domestic violence'; pig chick kicking ass) and he literally blew my expectations away! He works lighting-fast and ships even faster. I paid approximately 440 for this 8-1/2" X 11" piece: http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/tt86/punkbawkchicken/DV1111jpg.jpg (not adult per-say, but pretty violent!)

3. February 25th
4. Flann is a well-known "Ginga" (Ginga Nagareboshi Gin, Ginga Densetsu Weed) on deviantArt and I absolutely love and adore her style. She started offering these seasonal icons (http://www.furaffinity.net/view/5280879/) and I immediately I knew I had to get a Spring icon of my dachsie 'sona, Alex!
Typically she charges $3 for the icons but charged an additional $3 for me since I wanted her to edit her template a little bit. I didn't mind that at all!
She was very easy to talk to and work with, and after about two days, she finished my icon!
Here is the finished picture (the pictures is uploaded in my giftart account, not hers as she didn't upload it:

3. February 26
4. Luna opened icon commissions and I decided to get one. She was very prompt in noting me her commission form to fill out, and when she got to mine in the queue, she noted me a preview sketch, and after I told her nothing really needed to be changed, she finished the icon after a few hours so it took basically less than two days for her to do my icon.
She didn't upload it on her account for some reason. I wish she did so I could favorite it, but meh oh well.
Here's the finished icon (uploaded on my giftart account):

Psychobat
Date: 2011-03-02 11:20 pm (UTC)2. http://www.furaffinity.net/user/psychobat/
3. Some time in the middle of February
4. When Psychobat opened commissions, I immediately jumped at it. The commission itself took a week or two to finish (mainly because she was having trouble with poses and such), but I don't mind! She was extremely good with sending WIP shots and was very nice to work with.

3. Several times
4. Very friendly and good-natured. When I commissioned her, it would only take her a few days to complete my commissions. She sends WIP sketches out so that is a plus and somtimes she offers "buy one, get one free" deals!

3. Commissioned her at the beginning of February, received end of Feb.
4. She was offering an awesome deal for $10 coloured full-body images, +$3 for each character; I got one with my partner, best friend and my fursonas. Despite character interaction being way out of her comfort zone, she turned out a great picture! She was extremely communicative, with frequent e-mails and updates on Twitter/Tumblr, and was just great to deal with. I think she went above and beyond a $16 commission!

4: She offered some sketch commissions to do while she was on a plane journey at a discounted price, I just had to snap one up. I was expecting it may take a while but within a week she'd sent me sketch page!
Beautifully drawn and since she'd gone on her vacation to the same country as me, making shipping much cheaper, she did me another sketch. c:

Ellastasia
Date: 2011-03-07 01:32 pm (UTC)2: DeviantART (http://ellastasia.deviantart.com)
3: October 2010
4: I contacted Ellastasia wanting 2 commissions as presents for my mother, both I needed before December.
1 was a pretty normal looking pegasus but the other was of a real horse my mum used to own - and I had no photos of this horse.
She did absolutely brilliantly at bringing her to life perfectly from my explanations and vague colouring of a lineart as a reference to the point my mum instantly recognized it as her horse.
She got them both done for Mid-November and I am so happy with how they came out (as is my mum).
First piece (http://ellastasia.deviantart.com/art/White-Wolf-183859551) and second piece (http://ellastasia.deviantart.com/art/Aura-186965780)
