Whelp.... Iv been a furry for over 14 years or so and its been any one I can commission or adopt from since I started. Today's the day I start having standards after being shut down and burned by 2 furs in the community.
First and least egregious, Yushanya.
Adoption Template seller mainly, says they do commissions but all the commissions I saw where icons. Bought an adopt from them for 40 USD which included a Nightware, NSFW alt, and Futa/Herm alt.
-Nightware I figured would be something sexy like see though silk nighty, lacy underwear or something of that nature. Nah, cupless and crouchless String binkini. Didnt ask what color I would like it in, so they defaulted to a bright candy apple red latex like color on a black/gold character with purple hair highlights... Does it look bad? no. Could it look better for what it is? Yes. And asking what the person wanted color wise could have gone a long way.
-Futa version I figured would have been k-9 shaped cock given it was a canine character, only to get a super generic human penis instead. Thankfully I asked to have her nipples and cock colored like the secondary golden highlights on her body, or else I probably would have gotten a fleshy colored cock.
Second and most egregious, Fluffball.
Artist I havent heard anything about and probably will get crucified for saying this. Recently had 10 commission slots opened up and filled in less then 3 hours. Grabbed one because I always admired their art style and had the money. 80 USD for 1 character, 95 USD for 2. They replied, said I was good to send details. I send details of 2 characters, one being my OC Gold, and the other being a rather generic German Shepard male who is my Finacee's OC and would have been their first art piece so no reference material.
Followed ALL of her guidelines, No incest, No Minors, No Beastiality, No unbirthing, No Diapers/baby furs, No taurs, No ferals, No Vomit, No Gore, No Bathroom play, No Machines/Firearms/Weapons, No Heavy Bondage, No Violence/Rape, No Highly detailed anything, No castration/Mutilation, No Mind control, No Sniffing, No Humilitation, No Macro/Micro Genitals, No Super Obese, No Navel birthing, No Pregnancy, No Transformation.
MY OC, My fiancee's OC, Ref art for mine, Description for his, SFW clothed piece, NSFW nude piece, Pose and position are dealers choice, preferably something lovey. Request to get progression updates so tweaks could be made but was ok with them saying no. Provided free time schedule encase they wanted to meet in Voice chat, or stream the drawing as other artists Iv worked with in the past have done, also said it was ok with them saying they wont do that.
The reply I get back?
"I'm sorry - but I'm going to have to pass on this one. I'm not keen on creating OCs for other folks.
I'm sorry for wasting your time."

What, in, the, absolute, fuck! How fucking hard is it to draw a German Shepard with a Lightning Bolt over his left eye? And to deny me after I followed every rule she had on her page? I cant help but feel that there was something else behind this that she didnt want to say to my face, so fuck her.
