Omg- I hate when you’re doing something for someone and you say “it’ll be done in a week” and each day before it has been a week they keep asking you “so how is it goin? Made any progress yet? And send me a picture of the outline when you’re done with it, but no rush” 
that completely makes me not wanna do it, and most of the time, I won’t

I’ve been trying few things on art nothing worth sharing but I respect how artists are dedicated.
I follow the Share your Art, Edits and Draws thread and I see you spend a lot of time doing your marvellous art pieces.
It isn’t right at all to be rude to the artist, it’s their time and their work.
Unfortunately, to many people being discontent with something is equal to have the right to be disrespectful so if the artist finds a way to protect him/herself from that, I say go ahead.

1- Nope not all because it is the artist who is taking time out of their busy schedules to make the art piece. And if you are being rude then they have the right to deny your request.
2- Yes only if the person requesting is being rude and/or doesn’t understand that the artist doesnt have time to make it for them.
All in all, artists have to take out A LOT of time and the least we can do is be kind, and respectful towards them

No. I think It’s kind of disrespectful to just keep pestering them about when it will be done and leaving messages like: “Is it done yet? Is it done yet?”
I think it’s okay for them do to that because if they are being rude and disrespectful the artist should not have to take time out of their day and make them a piece.

And people wonder why most editors/artists don’t take requests.

both parts needs to be nice and polite to each other also recommend watching r/choosingbeggars on youtube
But the artist is the once who put there time aside to do something for free. do you guys know expensive art is.
if you are getting it for free you are NOT entitled to complain over it.

No, it’s not. And for someone who has hade their fair share of completely rude requesters, I say it’s completely idiotic tbh. Artist who are taking requests, or even doing commissions work hard for the product the requester asked for. All of my artists, whether they have taken requests or not know where I’m coming from.
Lol, I’ve done it so I’m gonna say yes.

I say no it’s not right for the requester to argue as they (the artist) are taking their personal time out for strangers, and are not required nor obligated to do anything for them.
And second absolutely no problem with blocking them. I draw as well (hand drawn,no digital) and I’ve had my fair share of requests in the past.

I’d say it’s not right to argue. I’ve never done any free/paid art or anything similar, but I’m pretty sure that, 95% of the time, if the artist did it wrong, it’s because the requester requested it wrong. If ya that picky, draw them a clear schematic and include detailed instructions. And if they don’t wanna do it, tough titty, take it someplace else.
A little surprised that people in this day and age don’t get that there’s a certain amount of inconvenience when you want things for free. For apps, you’ve gotta sit through ads and bugs. For stock images, the choices are slim. For games, your content is limited. And for artists, they do what they want and you’re lucky if they grace you with their time lmao.
As for blocking, block who ya want. It avoids headache and drama. Blocking someone is only half as satisfying as flaming them, but ten times more mature lmao.

Heck to the no it’s not right at all! Artists take their time doing their artwork! They’re really busy as well, plus what’s the point in arguing with an artist, yes it’ll take some time but at least they’re trying their best doing the artwork!
Yes, if I say like “requests are closed” or “I don’t take requests” in my bio and person dms me saying that they want a request from me, then I’ll block that person because that means that they didn’t read my bio

Well first of all I’m an artist myself so I totally understand why artists may take longer than usual. I don’t do requests for the same reason, I have a life (somewhat) and even for personal artwork I always take longer than expected. I’m just not reliable
Main Question 1: Is it right for the requester to argue with the artist?
Well, depends like people should understand that there’s not a way to determine exactly when an art piece will be finished (that’s not even taking into account, the artists’ other responsibilities outside of artwork). So if they take longer than they initially said, well…that shouldn’t be a reason to cause bacchanal over. Now if they straight up ghost you, then by all means do so. As a paying customer you do have a right to inquire about your requests, just be mature about it.
Main Question 2: Is it okay for an artist to block a person from requesting?
100% You have every right to deny your services to whomever you want for whatever reason

1.No it’s not right for requester to argue with artist their taking time out there day to do your request and there’s no need to rush we all have a life, lol same way with writing on episode. And also no need be rude to artist and cursing and yelling at them like calm down they don’t have take your request or anyone else’s.
2. Yes of course its right for them to block they don’t have take their crap and complains, They go on with other requests hopefully get someone respectfully.
Need to be respectful and have some self control and takes time to make a art just need to be patient.

Main Question 1: Is it right for the requester to argue with the artist? I think not. That is extremely disrespectful to argue with the person taking a bit of time in his/her life to do art for you and in response you argue.
So I just hate it when the artists says I will get it done in a week afterwards the requester is like hey, how’s the progress? multiple times and after people will start wondering why artists aren’t doing request.
Con: Most artist when they take request they don’t do them because of school and such but I understand them.
Main Question 2: Is it okay for an artist to block a person from requesting?
Totally, if the person is being rude they can be black listed.

I agree with this for the most part! I don’t think it’s right/fair to request/be impatient/demanding/rude to an artist. However, if an artist takes way more requests than they can handle then that’s on them, in my opinion. It’s not my fault as the requester if an artist decides to take every single request and by default ends up taking way longer than they said they would.
However, if a person is just being demanding that’s another thing. But people asking for updates isn’t bad. In fact an artist should really be giving updates just to let the user know how things are going. I recently tried to request art from an artist and while they told me they were almost done several times I never got an outline or any sort of pictures showing me how far into it they actually were. It’s kind of hard to know if the requester can trust the artist/trust them to actually do it if things like this happen.
Personally i think a lot could be solved by artists capping their requests. Take five, get them done, take another five.

I definitely agree with that,. Especially if their taking so many requesters and there’s nothing wrong with asking for updates but I don’t go overboard with it.
