The way I see it, is I shouldnt have to wait a month for art. If a persons commissions are open, and they are taking my money (in what ever form) then I think I should be getting the art in an appropriate 1-2 week time frame. If something comes up where an artist just couldnt get it to me, then I should be informed. I am sorry but for me it is so frustrating. I also dont think that, it should effect the quality of art at all? Like of course I want you to do your best, and provide me with the skills you show in your examples. Doing things earlier, shouldnt effect the quality of art? Unless what you are referring to, is that you would rush the art, and I dont see why any artist would ever do this. Thats not professional. If you take a month to do art, then make sure people know that. Hope that helps?
edit; again I just want to stess the fact that why would someone take a commish if they did not feel up to it? You know, if you think something might stop you from doing it for 4 months. I think that yes artists deserve respect. But If someone pays you, or will be paying you, you are the employee and they are the employer and they deserve respect to. Making someone wait 6 months is just disrespectful. Unless of course something serious has come up.
Speaking of Commissions, Id really like to do 100 DA point commissions, where you request whatever it is you want from me. My DA is here; http://crazzycat5.deviantart.com/
You can pm here or there, and ask me to draw something for you for 100 points, I will accept or decline if I dont think I can do it, and these will be done in 1-2 weeks. I can do most anything, so dont be afraid to ask!
Thanks
