i wasn't gonna send anything in but wow, a lot of y'all need to take a step back, jesus christ. don't excuse an artist's shitty behaviour, because all that tells me is tbat if you were an artist you'd do the same thing.
imagine, if you will, that pay someone real life money for them to make something, and you see them every day, and they flat out ignore you, avoid you, and do everything in their power to not talk to you about what you paid for. and then they keep accepting money from people, and you see them doing it to others. and eventually, after like 3 months they walk up to you, no product, and go "lmao sorry ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ my depression was bad i know i took ur money but i dont actually care," you'd be a little more than understandably peeved, yeah?
what makes it okay when its on flight rising for gems? or even treasure? if an artist knows they won't have their commission done in a certain amount of time then they have an OBLIGA to their customers to let them know. they don't need to go into detail but literally take the time to say "oh smth came up, commissions will be taking a little longer than expected." and they can't get mad if someone wants a refund.
this isn't talking about real emergencies. hospital visits, pets/family dying, etc etc. those don't count, they're unforseen emergencies. im talking about school or stress or work, all things that the artist knows is/will be happening and should accommodate for. and if they don't or refuse to, they they're a bad artist who should be avoided in the long run because they can't take the time to let their customers know what the fuck is going on.
as an artist, i find it inexcusable to ghost people who PAID YOU because you can't be bothered to fulfill what you promised and/or took on too mucat once and/or are stressed. at least make a post in ur thread saying smth, especially if you're already online everyday. and then offer refunds to ppl who don't want to wait any longer.
i get it, art takes time, shit happens. but you can't just ghost your customers. it's uncool and word will get around and then you'll have no customers any longer bc no one wants to chance you running off with their money for months with no communication with them.
tl;dr – barring emergencies, artists who take commissions are obligated to communicate with their customers and update them on the status of commissions.
