Positive Reviews Post: June

[oceandezignz.livejournal.com]

Time for some POSITIVE REVIEWS for the month of June!

If you've had a great commission experience, either as an artist or a customer, please comment here and spread the word. It doesn't have to be a full-on story, though you're welcome to type one! All we need are a few lines on why this person was so great to work with. You can also recommend companies, such as printers or fursuit-making teams, as long as it's relevant!

There are plenty of reasons to post someone here: perhaps they went above and beyond the call of duty to fix a problem, or were so prompt with communication and payment it was like having them right next to you, or were very professional and courteous every time you contacted them.

To help keep things organized, please follow this simple form:

1. Name of the person you recommend:
2. Link to person's website or art page:
3. Approximate time period of when you did business with this person:
4. Details (Here's where you tell us why they are so awesome! What made the transaction go so well? Perhaps link to the art or suit you bought/sold if you feel like sharing. Please mark NSFW if the subject matter is adult!!):

If you have multiple people to recommend, please put them in separate comments to keep things organized.

Trades are just as welcome as paid transactions. But try not to post for friends (or yourself) who are looking to be commissioned. If customers are what they/you seek, teenycom, artsales or artcommissions is for them!

Advice Post: Avoiding Predatory or Naive Productions

I have noticed lately that there have been some predatory or just naïve productions and projects looking for artists and content creators. There isn’t a lot of info out there for new artists, and it can be very easy to fall into the ‘exposure’ trap, or get into a mismanaged project that ends up being more trouble and grief than it’s worth.
Below is a made up example post of something you might see.
