I think ShadowsRequiem ignored my commission from her.

You'll get used to it. I've also done the "waiting for 3 months for a single simple commission" thing too, so have fun with that. Art whoring isn't always glamorous, darlin'. <3

Actually I've encountered it twice as well. First was greyf0x thinking I barely made the time limit then noticing I am not on Quota after he posted his list 2 months after; Second was with a random artist who diddn't even do one commission...and I was second in line. Q_Q

Yeah I've had the wait more than 3 months deal for one of the pieces I have. Was entirely worth it though. I'm never in a rush when it comes to getting great pieces of work.

I'm not in a rush either, but I do think there's a certain amount of time one can wait before it becomes irritating.

Well, there is a limit to what an artist can do. At the rate commissions are being asked for at the moment, its raining. It's not like an artist only does commissions, he or she makes other works aswell. Perhaps at some point, he or she decides to try a new sort of drawing style, which isn't fit for commissions. The artist should have such freedom. Though it would be gentle to tell the audience though.

I just uploaded a black'n'white and coloured version of the commission I got from Meshsmoother (only bothered to upload the "naughty" version though). I assume you've already seen it in my other thread

Regarding the whole "waiting for commissions"... I've had one relatively expensive commission I've been waiting a freaking half year for! So I hope someone can steer some pity in my direction

@ Sectus - There's an easy answer. GaiaOnline. They have a section of their forum [with 6million+ users] dedicated to art commissions, auctions, trades, contests, etc. It's pretty easy to earn gold [posting, voting in polls, playing games, etc], but inflation on art is kinda bad. The R&C board. Stay out of Chatterbox. Trust me.

Hm, this is interesting I may join however I've only had one commission done for me (the artist from whom I requested the other has gone on hiatus).

Need to find more commissioner...isers.

while i agree that sometimes waiting for a drawing sucks, artists do have a life outside drawing, and they have better/other things to do. and sometimes they suffer from the "artist block" and cant draw anything at all.

double post... awrry

I recommended people to the R&C area of Gaia. If you're an art wh0re, it's heaven. I assume my fellow wh0res have enough sense not to venture into the horror areas [read: everywhere else]. And I did post a sincere warning about the Chatterbox. >.>

Molotov if you do the commissions we asked for you are automatically an art enthusiast in my book. ;D

I used to draw on Gaia. The only problem is having to draw Gaian characters while I find peoples original characters much much much more interesting as well as something like GW characters. Because they have style. :P

As far as having to wait ages for commission goes. The artist offering commission should make it clear how long it takes or if they are very busy etc and gracefully accept commission rectracting. Some are slow some are fast. Huhu...I hope I made it clear on my thread that I've been immobilized as far as drawing goes. I mean busy and I feel a bit bad for making people wait, especially EtherealByte atm. But I will get it done. >.<

But it's not as though people offering commissions on forums are any kinds of 'pros' in business matters or have any general idea about how efficiently they themselves work on such projects. Like me they might swamp themselves without realizing wheter they could actually do it or not. Once I told a person that I could not finish their request afterall and just ended up getting them pissed at me even though the artwork was/would have been practically free. It's just the way it goes. :P

But yeah all I'm saying is that there's never an excuse, everyone knows it and I'm a bad girl myself...augh. I have a artwork promised to my friend that has been hanging for what... a half a year now? I always have those. I bet many people do. >.<

It's not the wait that's the problem for me, it's the lack of communication. If it's a piece I really want, I will wait for it - if the artists says they're busy or whatever. If they just accept the commission and disappear for 2-3 months, chances are I'll lose interest and cancel.
