haha, I knew who commissioned this before reaching the description. Nice.

I aim to get a wing-touch pic from every artist I can! EVERYOOOOOOONE!

Hey, it can be any pairing at all. I just prefer AppleDash! Doesn't stop artists from doing one themselves with a different pair

Don't you think that's disrespectful to the artists? Instead of liking the artists and their art, you're simply commissioning them for the sake of some sort of collection. You're just seeing the artists as means to your selfish cravings instead of seeing them as people who create art.

I... really don't even know what you mean with this question...

I'm just trying to gauge what level of education/maturity you have. Your ideas on what is respectful/disrespectful make the question necessary.
Then again with the complete absurdity I see on this site with things like adoptables and art thieves, I guess my expectations of people having the ability to think is far above reality.

That's entirely ridiculous. What a weird assumption to make that I am "unable to think" from my comment. Do you always make such quick and wrong assumptions about everyone?
Generalization is hardly ever a good thing. Don't assume that everyone is dumb as bricks around here.
As an aside... Someone's view on what is respectful doesn't have too much to do with one's ability to think. Just because I have a certain opinion, that doesn't make me unintelligent.
Since you're trying to gauge my level of education, I am on my way to my Master's degree.

I commission artists /because/ I like their art. Having seen previous art they've drawn, either commissioned or done on their own, makes me want to see what they do when presented with the idea. All I tell artists is "draw Rainbow Dash flirtatiously touching Applejack's cutie mark with a wing." I leave the pose, expression, reaction, everything else to the artist. I very much enjoy seeing what results from that.
So... no, not really disrespectful. I hadn't even considered such an opinion to even be possible >_>

Hm, fair enough. That is at the very least much better than what I had envisioned.
However, have you also told the artists you commission that you commissioned a ton of artists for the same thing already? You'll be surprised about how some people feel about this, and they'd rather know beforehand than learn about it after the fact.

I tend to link the gallery to show what I mean, yes. Honestly, I've not encountered any problems regarding the drawing. Any artist is free to refuse any commission they get.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Naturally any artist is free to refuse any commission, but they also have the right to the full story behind something.
If you say you clearly tell the artists about this and they still accept, then I have zero problems.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Wow... were you just so bored that you had to create a problem where none exists?
I mean, seriously. Go read a book or something. Your concerns are noted and entirely ignored because they're asinine. No artist here is "special" or should be sensitive enough to have their feelings hurt because they're one of many who have been commissioned to do the same thing; and if they are, they're either arrogant and prideful jerks who probably don't deserve the commission anyway, or they're so thin-skinned that if you so much as touched them they'd fall apart.
This instance is capitalism at work. Tcherno found someone who was able to perform for him a service, the artist agreed to do the service, he paid for the service, the artist performed the service in exchange for the money; end of transaction. There are no feelings to be hurt. It's the free market at work, and nothing else. Feelings have nothing to do with it. Get paid and do what's asked of you, or don't.

What a weird attitude you have. Boredom has nothing to do with this. You know that, so why even make such commentary.
You're exaggerating beyond belief here. If an artist doesn't want to draw for "hoarders", doesn't mean they are "so sensitive that they'd fall apart if you so much as touch them".
Also, you're sort of twisting my argument. I never talked about feelings the way you do. I am just saying that the artist should know the full story before accepting a commission. That's how all deals should work. If you hire someone for something, you give them the full rundown about things they should know.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's more the artist's decision and responsibility to ask, not the commissioner's responsibility to do so. There's no "full story" to know. It's an exchange of money for service. Period. There's nothing more to it than that.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's nonsense. Are you telling me the one providing the service has to ask about every possible scenario? It would make much more sense for the one paying for the service to give the full scenario, instead of the provider to go guessing.

If the artist is the one with the objection, it's their responsibility to find the information.
I'm sorry, but your logic just doesn't fly in the real world. The only responsibility the patron has is to fork over the cash when payday comes. Setting and accepting the final terms of the agreement is the artist's prerogative -- especially if they have some psychotic objection like yours. End of discussion. I'm sorry, but you're just plain wrong.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hold on right there. I am not the one with the psychotic obsession. I don't even do commissions and I don't care much if people are hoarders or not.
I actually still have plenty of replies to what you said, but I admit it won't bring too much new to the table and you seem absolutely convinced to end the discussion, so I will refrain.
That said... Ending a discussion with "You're just plain wrong" is not a strong finish at all. It implies closed-mindedness and a lack of insight into the other person's argument. Instead, I'd argue to agree to disagree, because I do see where you're coming from; I just don't agree.

You're saying many words but all these Commissioned artists can hear is $$$$$$$
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You say that, but no. I've talked with some artists who, when they found out about these "hoarders", they regretted drawing for them. Sure, some artists will care only about the money, but certainly not all of them.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Pointless. You put up a commission page, you take commissions, you get paid. That is all. What other art the same person has commissioned and why is irrelevant.
There's nothing to regret. You have your money. If your primary goal with commissions isn't money, then start doing requests instead.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Money definitely isn't everything. Artists don't draw solely for the money. They still have standards.
For example, a lot of artists refuse to draw porn, even for commissions. And some artists don't want to draw for "hoarders".

Yes how dare he pay artists money for their art. Such a horrid crime. What a monster.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
When did I ever say he was a monster or that he was committing a crime? Please stop strawmanning.
I am simply saying that I feel like he isn't considering the artists themselves. While I won't say money plays no role here, I also deny that everything is fine as long as the artists get paid money.
