Why do people commission something and then don't pay, like what the-?

It’s not uncommon to find out similar events on Twitter. Commissioners will insist they receive a draft/sketch, make amendments and then suddenly back out or make excuses. This is why you pay upfront, no negotiation or look at their profiles to see their history of commissions. It’s one of the rea***s I have artists tag my name into their posts so I’ve got that background of being trustworthy and a direct feed/message so they know they’re dealing with the right per***. But then again I always pay upfront regardless, unless it’s the whentai system here… ;)

I've heard of some people trying to "pay" with exposure rather than actually paying with money. It's nothing more than an attempt to scam the artist into doing free work. Hope no one falls for that.

#IceStorm that could theorically work I guess, would depend on how "big" the guy is, someone with no followers, would be pretty dumb as fuck accept from someone like that, someone with over 20k followers might work, only one time someone big have reblog some of my works and I earn around 1500 new followers in the following days. so exposure is not necessary a terrible pay but really depend from what per*** your are doing it for The most hilarious exposure commission I remember was a guy expecting me to do an entire comic, this guy thought there ideas were so God designed to the point he doesnt even share the info of the commission with me, he literally say me that if he share the idea with me I was gonna be *****d to accept his commission lol

While more people knowing about the artist can potentially help with getting customers willing to pay with their money, there are no guaranties. The one offering exposure and the people the artist is being exposed to might ask the artist to do more work without paying with their money to compensate for the time and effort it takes to create the artwork. My own view point is that exposure alone doesn't pay any bills. Of course it's up to the artist to decide if they are willing to take that risk or not.
