There& #39;s a huge difference between a rush job and someone who& #39;s spent years perfecting their craft to produce a high quality custom work in 2 hours. Speed & efficiency is a valuable trade skill. The reddit OP is the asshole. https://twitter.com/Annamatedarts/status/1265483235384913920">https://twitter.com/Annamated...

If you ever have a concern about what you paid for a commission vs. What you got, ask 2 questions:

Was the deadline met? Is it the result/quality promised?

How long the artist takes to produce the piece really shouldn& #39;t matter if it doesn& #39;t affect those.

Also, I& #39;ll echo another thing to keep in mind.

A custom artwork catered to your exact wish should never be worth less than or equal to a mass printed artwork at ikea/target etc.

And if you recieve high quality custom artwork FASTER than expected, honestly, that& #39;s an opportunity to tip well if it& #39;s an option.

Often these conversations feel very artist biased, and I& #39;ve had many client folk come to me for advice on a situation where there is a very real discrepancy. So let me take a moment in this thread to share some insights for both artist and client alike.
