Hehe.

This wonderful picture was done for my by Fyuvix, over on Deviant Art. She had just encountered another instance of a customer not paying for a commission after it was completed, and I offered her to take out her aggravation on my coyote, Tannis (yes, I did pay her ).

Check out her posting of this picture here: http://fyuvix.deviantart.com/art/Co.....punk-119415131 and be sure to check out her other artwork. You don't need a DA account to view nearly all of her art, so don't use that as an excuse.

EDIT: And of course, I just learned that she's here on FA as well, under a different account name. So, head on over and check out  YasminaChan

So, here we have her awesome character, Rupert (I love how badass he looks here), collecting for an unpaid art commission and having some fun bashing knees in the process. And of course, Tannis makes a wonderful example of what should happen to such people.

To all you artists out there who have ever been screwed by a commissioner, this is for you. Know that some of us out there do give you our complete respect for the work you put into commissions, and would never consider not paying. Don't let a few bad apples jade you towards the rest of us.

My thanks to Fyuvix for taking this commission and doing such a wonderful job with it. Both characters came out perfect in form and attitude, and she did such a perfect job at portraying this situation. I love the way the blood came out, as well as how Rupert is tossing the picture down onto Tannis, with the money having been collected.
