I'm once again reminding y'all to LOOK at a creators gallery/portfolio BEFORE commissioning them to make sure they'll be able to give you the end result you're hoping for. If I want a color tattoo I'm NOT going pay someone with ZERO examples. And vice versa. I'm a black person with a few black/black coded ocs. If I don't see examples of darker skinned characters or more then just straight hair I'm prolly not going to commission them. If my OC has a certain body type (whether that's chubby , RIPPED, or an A-cup character) and there are NO EXAMPLES of that I'm their gallery? I'm either not going to commission them OR be prepared to accept the fact that I might get something less than what I expect because my commission is likely going to be them either ACTIVELY trying to learn how to do something RATHER than already being VERSE in it? Or theyre gonna autopilot the shit and give my A-cup character triple D's and then I'ma be mad. (And asking for all the edits in the world doesn't suddenly make someone capable of drawing something they have no experience with drawing. I've learned this the very hard way) If I have an elephant character and their gallery is NOTHING but canines. SAME as above.
