Suggestion Reply to the Commissioner by dwaynekent2687

This is why I prefer filling out a form when I commission than DMing an artist or lacking their ToS. One artist announced one open slot, and I politely requested one through a DM. Then they replied with a question that made me uncomfortable: "Anything you want?" It sounds like not only do they want money, but they want something more that's inappropriate. It's like a setting of a part of a story where the protagonist says they'll do anything, and someone who is talking to said, "Anything?" You know what happens when the protagonist agrees or not. It's like that one part in Family Guy when Quagmire told the producer he'd do anything to get on The Bachelorette. Later, they're in the producer's room, looking like they're about to have homo sex. But Quagmire was helping him check for monsters before going to bed.
The point is, to any artist who does commissions and only be contacted by DM, don't creep out your customers. Just ask them what they want for their commission if you're open, or tell them you're closed this time if you are. Also, be clear on the instructions if you're in a hurry. It's only a suggestion.

    I'm not sure what you're saying here as there isn't a lot of context? Like do you mean they asked "Anything you want?" as in "What is it exactly that you want to be drawn for the commission?" or is it "Anything you want?" as in they're asking "What payment do you want to pay with?". From the outside looking in, it seems more like that the commissioner is just asking what it was that you wanted to be drawn because sometimes I have to ask that when someone comes to me requesting a commission but has not clarified what it was that they wanted to be drawn.

    Also wasn't sure about what you meant by saying "Not only do they want money", like... yes... That is what "commission" means?
    I could be reading this all wrong, but just saying I'm not sure what you're getting at here. -shrug-
