I mean if they are getting too many commissions then they should close it and work on delivering the ones they took. Not keep on taking new commissions while not finishing ones they already accepted. Seems kinda unprofessional you know. 2 years for an art someone paid for seems a little excessive. It's not about not showing them respect or consideration. It just seems a little too long.
But it is cool though. It is your money after all and you get to decide. It is kinda nice that you were patient enough to wait for it and both of you had a nice moment at the end.
How much did it cost anyways? I have never commissioned an art before (don't even know any artists tbh). Kinda curious how much popular artitsts charge for their work and do they give you a certain timeframe or it is just you get it when you do?
in case I'll repeat how the deal was between me and the artist:
> 12 character harem
> there is no hurry so the artist can take all the time is needed aka no deadline
> the artist is free to give priority to other commissions
> the payment is 100 usd (keep in mind that this whole story happened in 2018 - 2020 so dunno if the prices rised)
this were the terms of our deal that I proposed so everything that happened were expected and professional, it's true that it took quite the time but since I never had a problem with that, and there were progress anyway, then I have no right to move any type of critic, thing that I have never done and never will do because, as said, it was all under terms that I myself said
my talk about this was never a critic but an invite to all to wait and don't make useless pressures, remember the say "Rome wasn't builded in a single day", none of us is 5 years old so we can wait
