Tatious

Name: Tatious
Site: http://www.furaffinity.net/user/tatious/
Time: Mid-January, around my birthday! (1/19)
Details: I wanted art of my character Pandy with her new updated look, and after having seen Tatious do quite a few pieces for a friend of mine, I bought a sketch from them! They were quick, professional and gave me a great present (even if it was from me to me:).

And here it is: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/7237817 I love it. :3

CharryZarry - Commissioner

1. Name of the person you recommend: Charryzarry
2. Link to person's website or art page:http://www.furaffinity.net/user/charryzarry
3. Approximate time period of when you did business with this person: I've been working with him for maybe a year now I think?
4. Details (Here's where you tell us why they are so awesome! What made the transaction go so well? Perhaps link to the art or suit you bought/sold if you feel like sharing. Please mark NSFW if the subject matter is adult!!): Charryzarry is one of those dream commissioners. He's not afraid to speak his mind if a change needs to be done, but is also understanding, ready to make compromises if needed and just simply a joy to work with! I've worked with him a few times and still in the process of a new commission and can't wait for me.

Tarorae

1. Name: Tarorae
2. Link: tarorae.deviantart.com
3. When I did business: Two years ago throughout the year
4. Details:
Tarorae had indicated that she had a need for some fast cash, what with a wedding coming up and a new house, etc. I offered a substantial sum in exchange for four or five unspecified commissions. I am a photographer and she is a talented artist. We did a good handful of shoots and life went on. She got in contact with me eight or nine months later to remind me that I still had commissions outstanding. We discussed an item (reversible two-toned collar) and I, again, promptly forgot about it. Until she delivered it. No drama, no mess, no hassle.

Tarorae has consistently delivered quality products and material. She recognizes her own limitations and is willing to work to spec or collaborate, as appropriate.

4. He's polite and very quick (mine was done within a few days!). I'm also doubly appreciative whenever an artist works from just a text description, and he did it awesomely.

Name: Tent
Link: http://www.furaffinity.net/user/tent
Time: Few months ago
Details: She opened up for badge commissions so I nabbed one for my boyfriend. Not only did she do an amazing job, she's simply an adorable person to talk to! And when she mailed the badge to us, she included a little thank you note with an extra doodle of his character on it. :] So cute~

Name: Aerosocks
Link: http://www.furaffinity.net/user/aerosocks/
Time: Last month
Details: Had to have some themed badges for TFF this month. XD She was very quick and did an awesome job with the characters. Did a great job capturing personalities from just a couple descriptive words. She also was more than willing to use my suggestions on Rooster's and Trist's clothes/weapons and didn't shy from taking on three commissions at once from just me (Roy, Rooster, and Trist). XD

Name: Demona
Links:
1) demona69 on FurAffinity
2) demonic-demona on Deviant Art
3) Demona on InkBunny
Samples:
1) Rhiannon ref sheet (Oct 2011, NSFW)
2) Sh'sthress sketch (Nov 2011, NSFW)
3) Sh'sthress Xmas (Dec 2011, NSFW)
Time: currently (see below)
Details: The reference sheet was about three weeks from payment to completion, and Demona kept me informed at every stage of the work, showing me sketch, then lines, then colours for review and approval.

The sketch was a join.me stream commission and she was kind enough to let me pay the day after she did it. I'm so pleased with how she handled both my characters, and the strongest recommendation I can give her is that I very much want her to do a reference sheet for my lizard-girl as well, and have booked a spot in her February commission list.

The Xmas pic was a gift from someone and if I had any remaining, lingering doubts that Demona could handle drawing my little scalie, this completely destroyed them. Now it's February and she's working on the ref sheet for Sh'sthress and I have no doubts at all that it will be magnificent.

Name: Taasla
Links:
1) celestinaketzia
2) taasla on FurAffinity
3) taasla on SoFurry
4) taasla on Deviant Art
Samples:
1) Rhiannon (Apr 2011, SFW)
2) Rhiannon headshot (Sep 2011, SFW)
3) Sh'sthress (Oct 2011, NSFW)
Time: current (see below)
Details: Taasla was the very first artist I commissioned work from - the first piece in the list, and as I was quite nervous and new to the whole process, she was patient, explained her business process and why and in general made my first experience of receiving paid-for art a thoroughly painless experience. I'm also happy to say that the subsequent pieces I've commissioned from her have been an equally delightful experience.

The headshot is lovely as well; it has a kind of wistful quality to it, and there is a lovely liquidness to hir eyes in this.

The solo pic of Sh'sthress is a prime example of where she applied her experience as an artist to achieve the feeling I wanted for a piece; she took the rather generic pose idea I had and turned it into something much, much more than I had envisioned.

At the moment, Taasla is working out the preliminary sketch for a trade piece with me, and I'm looking forward to seeing it!

2. Link to person's website or art page: http://spacevoyager.deviantart.com/
3. Approximate time period of when you did business with this person: Nov 2011-Feb 2012
4. Details: I wanted a Vaporeon plush from her, she was very nice and always friendly, super easy to communicate with and always kept me updated on progress [via notes, pictures, etc]
The finished piece was bigger than requested for no extra. Amazingly well made plush! 
The wait wasn't bad either for a mostly full que and holidays/finals she had going on during part of the time.

Here's the finished plush: http://spacevoyager.deviantart.com/gallery/?offset=24#/d4lgbql

So yeah things have not been going so well for Muzz and she has had a lot of real life icky things however still she has been working as often as she can to complete this epic amount of comissions and despite stressful external circumstances has still managed to deliver.

"A+++ Would highly recommend" as they say on ebay.

Definitely highly recommended.
