I have absolutely zero tolerance and respect for people who think it’s okay to jip artists by either running off with the art before paying, or not paying the full price on completion.

This is why I encourage people who do commissions to ask for payment prior to the commission being worked on and if they refuse, deny them service.

They shouldn’t be asking for art if they can’t afford to pay the price. Don’t trust people who don’t pay or don’t want to pay. You deserve every cent for every minute of work you put in.
