I don't think I've seen this come up before but if I'm mistaken I do apologize!

I offered to do art in return for donations to pay for emergency vet care a few months ago. I've been working through my queue in chronological order and noticed that one of the people who donated a large amount ($100 towards the roughly $250 bill) has listed many Furbuy auctions of art they've commissioned during this time. I feel a little uneasy and am wondering if this is justified? The artwork is listed/reserved/sells for more than I charge and I know I would be bothered to see that if they decided to sell my work and someone paid more than I can make selling my own art. ;P Plus there's the issue of someone else profiting from my work.

I'm also uneasy with the content of the commissions (rape, pregnancy, copyrighted characters) and confounded by the commission procedure, as instead of being told to draw such-and-such and going through the usual approval/discussion, I was linked to a database of PDFs, each containing the information for desired commissions. I've spent considerable time going through these PDFs and trying to make sense of what I'm suppose to draw and figure out if any of them are even things I do draw.

Thanks in advance, I've really enjoyed the wealth of information this community consistently provides!

EDIT: I wanted to amend this to say I decided to issue a refunds if for no other reason than that I have very limited time with a baby/farm. I'm still interested in feedback though, for knowledge's sake, especially about reselling commissioned work. Thanks!

in your DA page, you've got a link in your Deviant ID that says 'Commission Information', it takes you to this page (http://www.wingsofjudas.com/commissions.html) on your website. I'd already tried to check out your website before to see if you had a TOS up, but it said it was under revision, so that's why I checked your DA to see if you had a TOS listed there or anything. :3
