An old guy asked me to draw a portrait of his wife. I agreed, and he sent me a low res Polaroid of her on all 4s in the 1980s. Not so much the content that was bad, but the poor quality image, plus the outdated fashion just really wasn’t what I wanted to put my name to. But I did it

I got the classic "draw me as an anime character". Since she was a friend of a friend, I didn’t mind letting her pay after instead of upfront… Yeah, still waiting for that payment, even after sending her the drawing and knowing she even used it as a pfp and everything. 🤡 Oh, and it was ridiculously cheap too.

I had someone commission a gift for her relative along with his mother (who had passed away) and she decided last minute to cancel. I was so emotional working on that commission and I just feel so strange having something so personal that belongs to a stranger I don’t know on my iPad. I still can’t delete it.

had someone wanting to commission me for a youtube logo (despite me maining in mostly anime art) i sent him a sketch (or finished art? can’t remember) then he blocked me without payment i usually charged upfront but he was going on and on about how he’d get the money soon and he really ‘needed’ this commission looking back there was a lot of red flags and i would’ve did things differently if i were to go back to that time. i was too easily swayed and unconfident about my own terms lmao
