I commissioned brindledcashew for a long overdue (i've had the character for years!) ref sheet of my personal character Jello. I noted her about a quote, saying I was willing to pay above what her price list said for all the details I wanted. She totally went the extra mile and didn't charge must more than the list price. She worked very quickly and the finished product was absolutely perfect!

I commissioned Veetanitu a bit before she was publicly open for commissions.
She showed me the sketch during the process to make sure everything was well done.
She was very professional in our conversations, fast but with good quality in the end.
I love the finished job, she did it exactly as I wanted it to be done.

3. I've commissioned them four times, but the most recent was in...July?

I bought a Heather Mason charm from them. I've bought from them before, but I am just so impressed with the quality. I mean the personality shows through! I feel like it could get up and walk. I've commissioned things before, but never felt the personality shine like with this one. Just amazing <3

3. July 29th, received: July 30th
4. Luso was offering cheap $2.00 commissions one day and I decided to get one! I requested my character be draw sitting in a bowl of mashed potatoes and gravy since it was a cute idea and Luso happily agreed and drew it the next day! He was super fast and nice to talk to! He does super cheap commissions often so his prices are really affordable!

3. commissioned her on July 23 and got the pic on 4 days later
4. Falvie has some fantastic artwork and some brilliant use of textures and colour choices for her drawings. She's very cool to work with, and I've been very patient with her throughout. Here's this awesome pic I've commissioned:

3. July 23rd, finished July 28th
4. This person was offering $10 glowing icon commissions and I really liked how they looked so I decided to get one. They looked so freaking cool! They were nice to talk to and easy to understand since English wasn't their native language, and they showed me WIPs and even did a slight edit when requested.

3. The commission journal they had up is now deleted, but as an estimate, probably mid July. Finished July 24th.
4. Very very cute toony style and great art! I commissioned them for a toony picture of my fursona playing video games and the commission came out better than I expected! Very nice and polite and the art is so adorable. :)

4. she was offering some sketch commissions, so I decided to buy one. She finished it very fast and it came out absolutely terrific! And to top it off, she has an affinity for jester (like I do) :)

if she's offering commissions again, I'll be more than happy to do business with her again

3. Twice I commissioned this person. Cannot recall the first time but the most recent time is around mid July. First commission was finished back in December 29th, 2010 and the second time was July 20th.
4. Very great style. Communication was a bit delayed at times, but nothing too bad. He managed to deliver the goods both times I commissioned him.
The first time I commissioned him was for a "Take On Me" inspired icon and the second time was for a heraldic design watermark thing over on TeenyCom.

3. July 15th. Commission finished July 18th. Received in the mail sometime later that week.
4. I commissioned Mary for a custom Certified! species tag on July 15th. I was so excited to commission her for this. I was wanting one so badly and I was so happy to be her first Certified dachshund for her custom batches. :3
I told her I wanted one badly and if she would be willing to wait if I saved up the funds for the tag. She was very understanding and even let me buy it for $20 instead of $25 since I had inquired to her about one before she even started selling custom tags publicly so I was super grateful for that.
She finished it in no time, sent me the badge file, a high res file of my character only, and an icon file. That was so freaking nice of her to do that! <3
Not done. She asked for my mailing address and I gave it to her and she shipped out my tag the next day.
Once I got it in the mail, I was surprised to see that not only was there a tag, but ANOTHER COPY as well, and they both were laminated and had clips! AND, and there is another and, she included the original paper sketch as well!
I was so speechless and happy that I got so many nice things from her. That was a great deal. She is probably one of the best artists I have ever done business with to be honest. She was kind, polite, professional, and included so many great things for only $20!

4. NSFW http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6152100
We wanted something gentle, nothing violent or hardcore and she captured that mood perfectly. She also took great care in making sure the pose was to our liking. She was great about keeping us updated about her process. Really nice artist and great to work with :)

TIME: Commissioned in June 2011.
WHAT: Commissioned a 3x4 size conbadge in traditional media.
IMAGE I RECEIVED: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6188392
DETAILS: Sekhmet was great to work with! She did not take long at all and the art embodied everything I'd asked for and more. Her expressions and use of colours are phenomenal and she is very easy to communicate with.

WHAT: Commissioned a painty style conbadge done in traditional media.
IMAGE I RECEIVED: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6227146

Date: 2011-08-02 12:48 pm (UTC)2. Personal Art page at http://quequinoxart.com/ (http://quequinoxart.com/) (My commission is currently displayed at the bottom of this page)
Facebook page/commission list at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Quequinox-Art/211337422224954 (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Quequinox-Art/211337422224954)
DeviantArt page at http://scenceable.deviantart.com/ (http://scenceable.deviantart.com/)
3. Commissioned her in April 2011, commission completed and shipped in July.
4. Janine was a dream to work with! She e-mailed me with sketches and photos of commission progress every step of the way, was very open to any suggestions I made, and went out of her way to make sure I was informed and pleased with the commission. She likes to work on a bunch of commissions at once, but is steadily finishing some while she starts others, so there is always a sense of process and progress. And I was very delighted with the completed results. Exceptional packaging for the shipping from Cananda to the US, and her pricing in my opinion is more than fair given the amount of materials and time she puts into each piece.
Here is another photo she took of my commission http://quequinoxart.com/uploads/2/9/1/5/2915211/5406814_orig.jpg (http://quequinoxart.com/uploads/2/9/1/5/2915211/5406814_orig.jpg)
Can't recommend her enough if you love equines, unicorns, or related fantasy creatures!

3. about a month ago, perhaps?
4. She made me a Li-Li doll for only $30! It's just about the cutest thing ever and i have a keychain so i can attach it to my pants and take it everywhere i go XD She even started before i sent payment! She was really sweet and made me a free badge for being one of the first people to commission her. I would love to do business with her again. http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6183261/ http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6201737/

3. less than a month
4. It is always a pleasure commissioning corrie. She works hard and finishes her commissions in a timely manner. She also pays attention to detail and did a wonderful job on my Partner's fursona. I continuously urge her to raise her prices, her art style and shading is outstanding! http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6207761/

Date: 2011-08-02 12:57 pm (UTC)2. http://www.furaffinity.net/user/huskie666/ and http://www.furaffinity.net/user/huskie-commissions for commissions.
3. Roughly 2 weeks
4. Huskie666 offered a deal in which one person would buy an item from MissMonster's online store for her in exchange for a breed badge. I had been wanting one of these for a while, so I pounced on it. I bought the item and had it shipped directly to her. Before the item even got to her, she was done with my art.
Not only that, but she is by far one of the best artists I have ever had the pleasure of working with. She queried me for details about my character that NO artist had ever asked about. She researched my species and made sure each and every line and marking was accounted for before starting the work. Then, less than a week later, she was done. Everything was perfect. A couple of days later, she mailed the item to me. It came in perfect condition, and I can't stop looking at it.
Huskie666 provides top-quality products quickly and with a level of customer service I didn't realize was possible, much less executable by someone who clearly does a LOT of commissions. I honestly can't wait to commission her again!

3. Approximate time period of when you did business with them: I just paid the last payment on a needfelt of my fursona. While I have not received it in person yet, I want to point out how amazing she is.
4. Details: I asked her last month about a commission, I paid half up front with a promise of the other half the next month. I did not expect her to begin working until I was paid in full but she told me she would have it done by the time I had the second payment sent.
Man was she right. I got to be her first commissioner for her needlefelt work and I hope other people will commission her in the future because she was amazing to work with.
She showed me so many progress shots and really kept me informed and updated on the progress of my item. She is very kind and let me know anytime she showed me a photo that I could have her fix/change things.
She really turned my idea into something awesome.
Of course you can see it here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6135848
Check out her galley, she has a SUPER ADORABLE baby Grpyh for sale that I really would like to see go out.
--
She did just this past week give birth to a baby boy so her replies may be a bit slow if you want to contact her about a commission. This is also the reason I am posting a positive review before the item is sent to me. I told her not to send it until she recovers, I trust her 100% to send the item out when she does.
I've known her online for years.

3. Late May/Early June (I forgot to post about her last month, but I will now!!)
4. I took part in her Finish This Sketch! commissions where she had a sketched out pose and you gave your character details to put in it. I thought it was a really neat idea and so I thought "why not?" She finished it within a day, essentially, and she was so sweet even though we both had a goof on clothes colors. XD I would definitely buy another from her! Here's the finished picture: http://www.furaffinity.net/full/5855260/

4. First things first, this was a request/gift as she's a good friend of mine. xD
This is the finished piece, my main fursona 'Silverfox': http://orangewolfennetwork.deviantart.com/art/Buri-Cat-212202607
I watched her draw the entire thing over Sketcher on AG, it only took about an hour or two since it was just a lightly shaded color image with no background.
If I had money to give her for true commissions I would (I actually got her a gift over the weekend as a thanks, and we doodle each others' fursonas all the time).
She's pretty fast with her art and does an excellent job; she's extremely pleasant to work with and tends to be casual with communication but still keeps it professional.
She's also recently started taking more furry commissions through FA but I'm not sure if she'd want me to post the account publicly (she wants to keep her DA and FA accounts separate for personal reasons) so I'd be more than happy to link it to anyone who's interested via PM.
She'll draw just about anything, I think there's only a couple things that are off limits.

3. Commissioned ~July 26 and got the icons on the 29th, earlier than the date we aimed for.
4. http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6214098
I commissioned her because she was doing a special of $5 icons if one was a gift for someone.
So, since my husband's birthday was soon, I went and got it.
She was nice and professional, even though I told her that it didn't need to be on my husband's birthday, she wanted to make that mark.
Yet, she finished it earlier and still very well done, she did a great job.
I seriously recommend her.

3. July 29th. Received today, August 2nd.
4. http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6238307
I commissioned them for a $5 sketch commission. Grau was very easy to work with and very pleasant. I just got the sketch today and I'm thrilled with the outcome! They included all the details I had asked for, and did so perfectly. Plus, only $5 for a full body sketch!
