I agreed to draw this random guy’s fursona. I finished the art completely and in turn asked for payment, but he only wanted to pay the originally agreed upon $15 even though he changed his mind several times (added several elements and wanted it paint shaded instead of flats etc.) and it ended up being a $45 commission by the end.
He kept refusing to pay, and brought a friend like a hype man to further insist that I was being a jerk by demanding compensation for my hard work. He had an app on his phone where I was supposed to enter the amount of the commission, so I made the price $30 and added several additional lines to the invoice including a “piece of sh*t” charge, a “I’m never drawing for you again” charge, and a “f*ck you” charge.
He almost payed it without looking, but eventually did and flipped out, calling me a scam artist and saying he was gonna call his mom.
So I beat the absolute hell out of him and his friend outside a Jack-in-the-Box restaurant.
This could quite possibly be a real story except for the fact that most furries pay religiously and even give tips.
If it was any other kind of art I would have believed it.
What I found out from multiple artists who follow me due to the content of this submission - furries pay well and even tip artists.
They’re literally like the rich merchant families of renaissance Italy but nowadays and on the internet.
Furries are like the modern Medici.
