Dear God, I wish this was posted on Gaia Online. I've been flamed out over there for casually mentioning that just because I send an artist a fair hefty trade (hundreds of thousands in some cases), I feel like they have some kind of obligation to actually do the artwork I'm paying them for. Keeping me in the loop, or even giving me a three-word status update when I ask for one, is obviously far too much to ask.
"'If you can't dazzle 'em with brilliance, baffle 'em with bullcrap' really is your motto, isn't it?"
"You only say that because you can't tell the difference!"
"That ain't brilliance I smell on your breath, Doc!"
"Demyx, talk less, run more, all right?"

I don't know much about the Gaia art market (I stay out of it, personally) but feel free to carry over some tips from here to there. :3

I think my art shop is fairly well set up, for the most part. I have examples of all of my mediums, clear payment options, rules, slots, and forms. But I'm not sure if it's as easy to navigate as some others- being all on the same post.

There's a link in my signature, if someone could possibly take a look and tell me what you think? If it's easy to navigate or not?

I would really appreciate it :3
