it isn't just because I needed money. Ever have someone upset you, and the next time you see them, you are not as upset as you were before? THAT is what happened. Despite the nitpicking, he IS a nice guy (though when he told my fiancee that she didn't know how to draw boobs right, that wasn't so nice), which counterbalances the nitpickiness...
By the time the con was reaching its end, I had already done half the work. It was THEN that he started steadily asking for more and more corrections. So I thought to myself, "Better hurry and get this guy's pic done, or I'll be caught in a neverending loop of corrections. If I HAD finished the picture as soon as I had planned, this whole thread would NOT be here.
So WHAT do you want from me? I am not ignoring him anymore. I admitted that I was WRONG, AND I apologized. I did more work on his sketch, and am waiting for his approval. I even contacted other people in this thread, and am taking care of their business. I ADMITTED to being horribly organized, forgetful, extremely slow, and procrastinating. You even said you wanted me to see things from the commissioner's perspective-- which I DO, and I even mentioned that.
Will you NOT be SATISFIED until a gaggle of people post, "I AM MAD AT GUNMOUTH AND WILL NOT COMMISSION HIM EVER AGAIN!!" ? It really seems that way, with people getting all upset that "the crowd is EATING THIS UP," as if that somehow ruins your day.
The fact is that MOST of my commissions get done just fine, and MOST people come back for more. True, some peoples' commissions slip by, but MOST of them I keep in decent communication with, and I work it out with them in SOME way. AND YES, SOMETIMES A FEW OF THEM POST HERE, BUT THEN I FIX IT. POINT IS, NO MATTER WHAT THE COMPLICATION, I *DO* EVENTUALLY FINISH THE JOB. On top of that, I do a GOOD job.
