Yeah. Also any information you give them gives them levers to work with to try and argue with you.
"No, I'm too busy to do it" "But it's just a little thing, it won't take that long!"
"No, I don't like tentacle boy scout porn." "Well then just leave the tentacles out, and make it boy scout vore instead!"
"No, I don't feel I'm the best fit for this commission." "But I love your art style, you'd do it perfectly!"
And then you have to tell them no again, and again and again. Just say "No." or "No, I can't take this commission." or "No, thank you." or whatever. Some people will still argue, but it's not giving them a foot in the door, they way excuses do, especially made-up ones.
Now if you *want* them to change things you can give the reason. If you turn down a particular fetish they might change what they want and you still get the commission, but if you just don't want to work with that person, you really should just say "No," without any other details.
