Questions from my paranoid mind.

Is it generally more respectful to allow an artist to post a commissioned piece to their profile first, or is it expected that a commissioner is going to post the art whenever they get to it?

This has been on my mind lately, and its been bugging me. I'm super paranoid about not seeming rude or like I'm trying to take any amount of the spotlight from the artist by posting first. I know crediting the artist is 100% mandatory, but it still seems like I ought to let them post first.

Maybe I'm just being paranoid, but I'd like to hear what some artists think about it...

Not an artist, but I'm still gonna throw in how I handle this: usually I don't post pictures until a few days after the artist has posted it. Only exception is if the artist doesn't post it or posts it really late :3

This is how I prefer to handle it too. The question I get then is what qualifies as really late?

A week? 2 Weeks? I'm never really sure.

Well, most artists won't really care, i am sure... at least non of the ones i commissioned, but that varied from artist to artist i suppose :/ But in general, i just post whatever and whenever i want with the credits in the description and thus nothing is lost, since if the artist wants the attention, he will get it anyway^^

I can't speak for everyone, but as an artist, I am lazy AF when it comes to uploading, and fully expect that a client will probably post something as soon as it's delivered. Just credit the artist and link back to their gallery. If they wanted to be first to upload, they'll tell you, and not take a week to upload it.
