Looking for Opinions!
General | Posted 12 years agoFrom DevArt, to Y!Gallery, to FurA, to various other art related sites, I've heard about and seen this to be a problem, and I'm curious to what everyone's views are.
An artist is giving out commissions, you pay for the art, and a year later- you still haven't gotten your art. You make reminders via comments/notes/what have you, and you're not recognized. The artist (Who you have paid), is still doing commissions for others, and even opening up new commission slots.
EVENTUALLY, after a year or more has past, you FINALLY get your commission, whether it be from relentlessly pestering or a sudden epiphany on the artist's part.
Do you believe it's justified that you receive a discount? (Example: You spent 100 dollars on this commission, you request 25 dollars back after waiting a year/watching this artist give others art frequently within a week/month of it being paid.)
(I've seen some cases where people pay for a commission, and years have past and they still never get art or their money back. I'm not really sure how someone could solve this? Technically you have grounds to sue if you have proof you gave them money and they never gave you what was promised in return, that's considered breaking a contract. Buuutttt, I'm pretty sure if you spent 100 dollars on a commission, you'd end up spending way more on a court related finances. Sucks to lose 100 dollars, but how does one get that money back if the commissioner is ignoring you?)
