@sommydraws I think most people go off of history, if you see an artist post a finished comm every 2 weeks or 3 weeks, you'd expect yours to be done in the same timespan
@Nephilieme It's because some artists put their clients on full blast for it and portraying them as excessively needy or potential stammers and artists got so much glaze to the point people were scared to correct artists in case they get angry over more work, or backlash
@TheCopyThat It really is luck of the draw.
Some artists will do other clients fast but randomly decide to slack on yours. Hell they may accept your comm but not wanna draw it at all and hope you just forget.
I should follow this logic and open fake comms and then never do any of them and repost this tweet every time someone asks for progress

if you’re not okay w/ waiting as long as it takes for an artist to work, don’t commission them in the first place. artists are also allowed to do things outside of art, including playing games, & making anyone feel guilty for the time it takes them to work is a shitty thing to do
@sommydraws Yes, I've dealt with it 3 times this year alone.
A lot of bigger artists have gotten too used to glazing and ego trips to where they can ignore or procrastinate on comms and have no obligation to do their work and expect a 1 month wait before a single line is drawn
@rovabtw 4th grade was owl shit and I wasn't allowed to because I "misbehave" (teacher had 0 clue how to handle adhd) but honestly I preferred not spreading real owl droppings with a plastic knife
@FoxyMachiko At this point you request a refund through PayPal if you can and give them the information
If it takes down their PayPal, they should have been more transparent or more concise in actually doing comms
@_Spinkee_ The biggest issue is they don't communicate, ever.
They leave their clients wondering wtf is going on.
At least people like my friend let me know Midterms are coming up or if he's sick, busy, etc
None of these other people do that and wonder why clients get angry
@_Spinkee_ That and another artist with no other slots taking 3 weeks of doing nothing and only showing progress after I press them after near a month and suddenly it's done in a day???
Like you were busy through all that time???? Are you sure?
@_Spinkee_ Context: I ordered it 6 months ago, only got updates when I messaged them to remind them I exist, and the last update was a month before they randomly canceled it.
@_Spinkee_ Legit dealt with this yesterday
Paid for an animation, they only did lineart and 2 frames of color before canceling and refunding me half. Now I'm stuck with an unusable 2 frame animation I can't do anything with
I'm going to be cruel to the people saying "artists need time."
You have a responsibility. Money was given to you, and all you have to do is sit at home and draw. If you're "too busy" for the commissions you got paid for, then don't take commissions at all.
