You can also recommend companies, such as printers or fursuit-making teams.

3. Approximate time period of when you did business with this person: Beginning of August
4. Details:
I had been interested in one of her "chibi" drawings for awhile but she was closed, so she asked me if I wanted to be waitlisted. She contacted me a month later and asked if I was still interested, so she said I only had to pay once a sketch was completed (and by sketch, her sketches look like a finished piece, wow!). My anniversary with my boyfriend was in a week and I asked her if it was at all possible for her to finish it before then, that I'd happily pay extra for the rush. She said it was not necessary (I did anyways, cuz..yeah that's like NO notice) and that she could complete it in time. Not only did she complete it in time but she did an EXCELLENT job and I'm very happy with the outcome: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6335925

TIME: Commissioned in August 2011.
WHAT: Commissioned a wedding caketopper sculpture.
DETAILS: Painted Dog was excellent to work with. She worked quickly and produced a great quality sculpture even with the tight deadline date. She was very easy to communicate with and professional and I would recommend her anyone looking for a lovely sculpted commission.

4. I commission Corrie quite often. She is an amazing and talented artist and does not continue without approval. She prefers to do her more complicated commissions live so that she could get fast feedback. It's always a pleasure working with her and i very highly recommend commissioning her for things like references and comics along with the usual stuff. http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6351301/ I threw her some concepts and she came up with the outfits AND the character's design as well http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6291937

3. Beginning of august
4. I commisioned them for a nice reference of Blue, the pitbull mix. I gave them a detailed description of Blue's bodytype, hairstyle, personality, etc. and they did a wonderful job and portrayed Blue perfectly! http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6403258 I was updated constantly with more sketches to approve and KC did a beautiful job on it!
I'd also commissioned them earlier for a tag/badge of Li-Li http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6273824/ It was done very fast and i was emailed a sketch to approve, which was very nice since most artists dont do that for something so small

4. Commissioned her for a feral simple shading picture of my fursona. It took a while to finish, and she had accidentally left out important details like my famous black necktie and wristband :/ but other than that I am very happy with how it came out. The texture is a great touch! Will definitely commission her again!

Details: Commissioned one of her headshots ( http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6289692 / http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6382278 ) and it's absolutely lovely. :D High quality, quick turnaround, AND she sent them out, despite an already bargain price.

Re: Wolfyu
Date: 2011-09-04 02:20 am (UTC)I commissioned a headshot as well [http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6382278]. It turned out beautifully, she shipped it to me without charging extra for shipping [I sent extra anyway as a thank you]. It was done really fast at a very low price for the high quality. Professional and awesome, she really paid attention to the refs I gave her.

4. Details: I've commissioned her a few times in the past. I got my commission done relatively fast (within the same week). Despite the fact that it was supposed to be finished at the con, she mailed me back my sketchbook at no charge. :3 http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6019986/ (Very NSFW.) She even drew me a doodle of one of my other characters. I've never had any problems with her. Despite her long line of commissions she gets them done within a reasonable amount of time, is very efficient, professional and friendly.

3. Approximate time period of when you did business with this person: A month or so before AC'11 I think.
4. Details: Commissioned her for a tail. It was done a little before the time she estimated that it would be and held onto it for me until I could pay; which was VERY nice of her since I was in a bit of a bind at the time and she had to wait. Very professional, friendly and great to work with. n.n http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6156277/ (Very SFW.)
