This was one of those things I didn’t really want to talk about, but since there is a lot of talk about artist pricing and respecting artist lately I wanted to share my AWFUL experience from earlier this year.

After this, the commissioner snapped and said this(see screenshoot and he never replied to us never again.

A while ago, a friend of mine (he doesn't want to get involved in this) was working on an animation commission for someone and needed someone to do the background for it. I didn’t really know the commissioner but I gladly accepted since I trust him!

Artists aren’t assents, this was a one time thing for me but I KNOW there are so many artists out there being underpaying, mistreated and explored and we should expose this type of situation.

In the end, I did a super detailed BG FOR 100€, it was so dumb to ask so little, now I know I should have asked for more. 200€ was honestly nearly doing it for free, especially since this was for commercial work.

In the end, I would gladly expose this person, but in respect for my friend I will only share my story. Thank you for reading this! And iIm really glad I can take this out of my mind!

The first conversation with the commissioner was a bit awkward, as he didn’t want to see much of my work, he simply said what he wanted and asked for prices. This was where I made my first big mistake - I’m not a really confident person -

and I asked for 200€ (the first 100 when I finished the sketch and the rest after I finished the whole thing), for this FULLY DETAILED BACKGROUND.

To me, it was “only” the half I had yet to receive, but the animator spent ALL THOSE MONTHS OF HARD WORK put into this project and didn’t receive ONE PENNY. Things were going too far, plus his work was 100% done, except for this WATER animation.

After telling him I’d expose him for this, he still didn’t pay me and totally ghosted me. The reason I won't expose him is that my friend isn't comfortable with it and doesn’t want his name associated, and I respect that, but, on the other hand I wanted to share my story.

The first red flag I had with this guy was when he asked me to make something extremely close to a cowboy bebop background and, at the time, I said I wasn’t comfortable with it, and he said

TBH I should have stopped working for him here, but I gave him the benefit of the doubt because he isn’t involved in the artist world and did not understand what he was saying was offensive, so in the end I did something different, still too similar for my taste tbh.

Gladly I still live under my parents’ roof and I'm studying and don’t have to worry about paying bills, but this is not the case for everyone.

And then, after many hours of my time working on this, I finalized and delivered it and asked for the final payment, to which he replied: the water isn’t moving. I explained to him that I only paint, I don’t even know how to animate frame by frame, -

and he replied he would only pay me when all the animation was done, and that this was the last drop for both me and the animator (which worked much more and put up with much more bullshit than I did) so both of us asked for the payment.

As time went by, I was getting tired of the back and forth I had to do. Always asking me to redo details and change things after they were finalized or already approved. I was so tired, just wanted to end this and get on with my life.
