Fellow artists I know getting commissions is some times hard and you at times do things you are not comfortable doing, things that where on your No list sound tempting at times to get a quick buck specially to get your name out there and start taking more commissions, I don't mind the cub stuff I don't mind the incest as long as its not violent and rapey stuff, I got my limits very well defined but there are things I will never do as an artist and every artist has but there is a thing No other artist should do EVER! if they do respect its own work as an artist and that is the following.
Use some one else characters with out permission!
I ones got a commissioner wanting me to do a commission with characters that where not mine nor his he told me to do it and no one else but him would see it, (so he also didn't wanted me to upload it) that was suspicions to start with!, that is Not ok in my book as an artist that some one is making money with my property is a nono! a big nono and I can tell in furry community that character theft is a big deal, so please if some one comes around and ask you to do a commission with a character that is not his or yours, do go with the chars original owner and ask if such a person has permission to use his or to commission them chars. some may say "its a surprise! don't tell them" even then I am sorry but NO always ask it might be just a person trying to get that char on some naughty situation most of the times with his own character. but the original artist said no. or just want to not get caught using some one else's character.
So keep this in mind if you ever get a commission like that, its NOT KOOL! I would be so darn mad and pissed if some one took my chars and put them on situations I did not agree on and end up in some pesky guy's private commission collection! and I am sure that if you are an artist you would feel the same if some one else did that to your chars.
There is a clear difference between fan art (even the naughty one when they are main stream characters that are the property of a company or a multi-billion international corp, not exactly one person in his basement with pen and paper.) and taking advantage of some one's work to take advantage of some one else character.
PS: this one guy also wanted me to do the art pretty much for free, told me to put him on the list (with out paying) and he would pay me ones it was done, sorry but NO. even if that was a $60 do to the amount of characters in it I had to turn it down eventually I just didn't felt comfortable and seen all in his gallery where commissions and a very few for that matter in a laps of 2 years some thing just felt off, I'm pretty sure many artist had provably decline its offers. oh but he was the insulted one for me not accepting it with out paying me.
be good pups out there ok?
keep it up and keep it kool
