    Uh oh. Who needs to be smacked around for 9-13? >: (

    But that being said, very good rules. Its so -fun- to have someone go, for example "I want a fox on a motorcycle' and say okay through every sketch, ink and color hten suddenly go when the rest of the payment is due "Oh but can you make it bigger, more feral, with bigger arms and a different bike?'

      Just some jackass on a livestream. And yeah it was basically that, just on a smaller scale.

    Some people just need a basic "how to function socially without being a rampaging asshole" refresher course. Sorry you had to deal with that, but, you know, glad that you DID deal with that; hopefully McJackass will be more polite to the next artist.

      I don't get why people do that and expect the artist to be 100% okay with it and continue with the commission anyway????

        Another bonus rule for those commenting on commissioned/gift art: if you don't like the person who was drawn then don't say so. I had someone say that on a piece of gift art I did for someone dear to me and it was just like.... explosion. It's very disrespectful IMO. They don't have to like who I like but like, I don't need to know (especially when I don't know them very well).

          Omg right? Especially if it was a commission, cuz then like, every time the commissioner goes to look at/show off the piece they bought they're gonna see that shitty comment. If you don't like the person/character then why'd you click????
