I've bought a few commissions.... And didn't get what I paid for yet... :/
I dun wanna pressure the artists, but.. it's been a couple months now.... so I'm kind of hesitant to pay for any more for awhile. ><

Oh no!

Have you messaged these artists about it, to make sure they didn't lose track of it?

Nuuu...
Not yet anyway.
I think I will if I don't hear anything by Christmas...
I just grew up around artists and I know there's just no rushing them sometimes. *chuckle* Especially if they're good, and they have plenty of attention and other commissions and deadlines to deal with... I don't want to be a pain with my little order, you know what I mean?

Well actually, it would be better to get in communication with them before Christmas, because that's when we all get our days off. I would hate to lose track of a commission, and get reminded about it the day I go back to work in January. Lord knows, I've lost track of a couple commissions, and it's a huge rush of relief when I get reminded of it.

I've had some bad experiences paying for commissions though. Not because I paid and didn't get what I paid for, but because I saw a few of the finished pieces and then she stopped responding to my emails and messages. They looked great, but I never ended up getting my characters portrayed visually.
