Honestly, it really depends. Of course, as an artist, I understand people have lives outside their art and the internet. Not to mention others' commissions to worry about while doing mine. On the other hand, if I paid them before they finished, I would be nervous if they took weeks/months to even get started. The people I commissioned usually were super fast and finished sooner than expected so I haven't had a long waiting experience yet. I think I only ever waited super long or never got a certain thing when I asked for requests or made suggestions. That's definitely when I'm more lenient with wait time because I'm not even paying them. Yeah, it's sucks to see an old request fade into obscurity but at least I didn't lose money over it.
The key to a long waiting period between an artist/customer relationship is communication. I'm more likely to wait longer without too much badgering if the artist is transparent about the likely waiting period. They don't owe you their life story, but it's nice to have an estimate so you don't spend all your time wondering. I think showing the progress with a watermark ( a pattern of watermarks if you want to be safe XD) during the waiting period could help to ease the customer's mind too. It might even help the customer catch something that can be changed easily in the early stage. I think I probably would pick a week but I honestly would be willing to wait longer if the artist gives a rough estimate on likely when things will be done. They don't need to explain why but it would make me feel good the artist isn't leaving me in the dark. Though the artists I commissioned I don't remember ever making me wait longer than a week (unless I count plushie commissions which are a completely different beast to digital art). TLDR Customers be patient with artists because they are only human. Artists and customers, respectfully communicate with each other during the process so no one is anxious or feeling duped for one reason or another.
I've been wondering about this for a while, but when you commission an artist, how long would you want your piece to be done? Blink once if a day, blink twice if two days, blin-
Just kidding, I made a poll :D
It’s not the full song but it’s still really cute and I wanted to leave it here so I know where it is. Also, I can show it to all of you as well. I wish it was on youtube though so I could put it in my likes. Oh well!

I wanted to make a logo for Anna's parents' business and the rest just followed after. I also plan to give her a cute dress for formal events. Though for now, I'm taking a minor break from my BB OC fanart to work on some DnD fanart. I hope you enjoy this in the meantime
So cute! Also... Yay! Now I have an excuse to update that prompt I made a while ago through reblog! I found a way to revamp the story to incorporate more of the og element into the story idea but I didn't want to message about it again. I'm just so interested in the original story because it's so needlessly complicated and I so see Tina go that route in her story just because she's Tina. Here's the link to the 2 part video of what I'm talking about.
Anyway, after watching the videos here's the updated cast of characters. I still want some Disney elements in the original idea, but now it has a bit more hilariously, needless plot elements as well. Tina - Tinelle (obviously that doesn't change) Tammy and Jocelyn - Selfish "sisters" Mr. Fischoeder - Calvrice (I couldn't resist the live-action Beauty and the Beast reference with the voice XD) Jimmy Jr. - Jimston
Zeke - Beast
Aunt Gayle - Faerie Queen's sister
Zeke's stepmom - The queen and the beast's mother that was in the war during the story.
Linda Belcher - The faerie queen
Bob Belcher - Tina's real father and also a king
Gene - The singing rose. (maybe, I'm open for other options for Gene and Louise in this revamp) That's it with the cast changes to my original prompt. The only things I would change from the og story is that I obviously don't want to imply Zeke and Tina are cousins or that the reason Zeke is a beast is because of some creepy, pedo fairy. I think I would change that creepy fairy plot to Zeke, having feelings for his nanny fairy, but the nanny fairy took the clear NO of the situation too far and he's a beast to teach him to not go after older women at such a very young age. (I think it fits better for Zeke because of that one moment in "Can't Buy Me Math" when he tried to come on to an older, married woman after Tina gave him that motivation which clearly wouldn't have worked out. XD)
@tacosandtouchtanks I have my first TinaxZeke fanart I want to submit for your blog. I’m gonna do them as as many Disney couples as I can manage.
TINA: So you know , ... he called me.
JIMMY JR.: Already?
GENE: Zeke called you?
TINA: [nods]
GENE: He he This guy really gets around.
TINA: Do you mind?
JIMMY JR.: I don't mind at all. Why should I mind? What did he say?
TINA: He asked me out for Saturday night.
JIMMY JR.: Oh, ya' going?
TINA: I told him I was busy.
JIMMY JR.: Ah, really.
TINA: So, we're going out Friday.
[long pause]
JIMMY JR.: Friday?
TINA: Yeah.
JIMMY JR.: He's going out with you on Friday?
TINA: Yeah.
JIMMY JR.: He's supposed to see ME on Friday.
TINA: Oh, uh, I didn't know.
JIMMY JR.: We made plans.
TINA: Well, uh, I'll cancel it.
JIMMY JR.: No, don't cancel it.
TINA: Huh. Well this is a little awkward, isn't it?
JIMMY JR.: Well, frankly it is.
TINA: I've never seen you this jealous before.
JIMMY JR.: Well you're not even a fan. I was at match six - you didn't even watch it.
TINA: Wait a second, wait a minute! You jealous of him or you jealous of me?
[long pause]
How about Amy Rose?

15 minute illustration of Patrick “not rick” Star from Spongebob Squarepants! Any pink-themed character you want to see me make this month? Let me know in the comments.
I’ll do you one better!
Arnold: Seriously guys, this is a bad idea
Other kids: C'mon Arnold, nothing bad will happen. Let us have fun for once.
Other kids when bad thing happens:
Is there a website to look up models or people to draw, with gender, ethnicity, and age filters. (if possible)?
For example if a wanted to make a cartoon character realistic and use a real person for reference or to edit the photo to look like them?
I’ve been just googling white 20s male, black female 40s etc. (can’t find any good references for kids either) and been sifting through the results.
The post sequel to the link above. Now, lets get to it. Shoto Todorokix Momo Yaoyorozu: Masarei Todoroki (轟 全零): Daughter and only child of Shoto and Momo. Her hair is black, white, and red all over (I'm so freaking funny! XD) and she has black eyes like Momo. Hero Name: No hero name because she's in the support class, not the hero course. Quirk: Avatar, a quirk that is similar to Momo's creation quirk but vastly more advanced since it also includes the 5 elements of Godai. Masarei can not only create any non-living thing but can also can produce the Godai elements from her body. However, the biggest drawback of this quirk is that Masarei has to have a full understanding of everything thing that makes up the thing that she wants to create, even the elements that came naturally to Shoto. The issue with that is Masarei is an airhead and extremely unmotivated to tap into her clearly unlimited potential. So she's essentially quirkless because she chooses to do nothing with her quirk and stick to creating things the old fashion way in the support class. Denki Kaminarix Kyoka Jiro:
Hanori Kaminari (上鳴 波記): Daughter and oldest child of Denki and Kyoka. She has Kyoka's hair color with yellow sparks on the bangs like Denki has a black lightning bolt on his. She has Denki's eyes and on top on her head is an antenna. She owns a support item for the antenna that acts like satellite dish a radio telescope. The radio telescope satellite dish also turns the direction it's listening on her head when needed. The satellite dish support item give the vibes of a hair bun. She a special type of goggles as a support item to be able to see images with her other support item though. Hero Name: Radio Active Quirk: Antenna Head, with this quirk Hanori has the ability to hear people at a long distance. She can even change who she's hearing as if she were turning a knob on a car radio. With her satellite dish support item, she's able to control which radio waves she listens to more easily. With her support goggles, she can even have her antenna and satellite dish item act as a radio telescope and gather even more information than before. If she continues growing her power she even has the potential for an antenna head to be a two way radio instead of just one way. In other words she would have the potential to send people messages in their heads instead of just receiving them. However, the drawback of this quirk is that is can be overwhelmed very easily if she hears too many voices in her head all at once. She's need to check out mentally for a while after that happens and may even get existential about her mind not being her own if people keep speaking to her and leaving no room for her own thoughts. Kizetsu Kaminari (上鳴 気絶): Son and youngest child of Denki and Kyoka. He has Denki's hair color but inverted and Kyoka's eyes. The difference is instead of a black lightning bolt like Denki has, Kizetsu has yellow lightning bolts in his black hair similar to the sound waves in Kyoka's hair. Kizetsu has ears similar to Kyoka's but instead of headphone jacks, they're taser wires. So the lobes are more curly than Kyoka's lobes. Hero Name: Circuit Blaster Quirk: Taser, similar to Denki's quirk but localized all in Kizetsu's earlobes. So he has more precision where he enacts his electric shock as well as being able to use his quirk more before his brain is fried. With certain support items he can act as an usb to transfer data from one place to another. Though the best support item he can use is special gloves that his earlobes can plug into to turn his regular electric shocks into lasers. However, turning his regular electricity into lasers takes a lot out of him and he becomes stupid, so he can't use it often. He can also use his earlobes to support other heroes that have powers that require a lot of electricity (like his sister) but using one earlobe for one machine and using the other lobe to connect to a different one can mess up his brain for a bit. So he prefers to do one machine at a time when possible. If it wasn't for the fact that he could produce lasers with help from his support item gloves, he'd probably grow bitter from feeling like nothing more than a glorified support item for others to exploit. Eijiro KirishimaxMina Ashido:
Sanmi Kirishima (切島 産珠): Daughter and only child of Mina and Eijiro. She has black hair with pink streaks, pink skin, red pupils surrounded by black sclerae, sharp teeth, and pale yellow horns. Hero Name: Heart Stopper Quirk: Acidic Crystallization (Emitter), Sami can produce acid from all over her body that she can harden into a crystallized. She can use it to shoot at enemies through her fingers like arrows or she can use to crystallize armor for herself. In its liquid form it's about as corrosive as her mother's is. However, that drawback for this quirk is that she doesn't have infinite acid and the hardening acid has a time limit. So she would need to shoot the crystalized acidic darts quickly before the acid turns to liquid again.
Hanta SeroxTsuyu Asui: Norisho Sero (瀬呂 乗青): Daughter and only child of Hanta and Tsuyu (I'm not at the friendship level to call her Tsu yet XD). Her hair is black and dark green in the pattern that's reminiscent of a frog's skin (or maybe nori). She inherited Tsuyu's mouth shape but Hanta's teeth when she she gives a full smile. She has Tsuyu's big, black eyes. Hero Name: Guumi (寓美) (Idek even know why she's the only one I put effort into making her hero name a kanji pun lol) Quirk: Anything a frog can do but with a twist. She can use her tongue to grapple enemies but she can use her teeth to rip her own tongue off without much harm. Like those sticky hand toys, she can stretch her arms out great distances and use her hand to stick to her destination like a grappling hook. She can secrete mucus from her body that's acts more like glue compared to Tsuyu's own mucus. The drawbacks to this quirk is since she is part frog, she is terrible at doing battles in cold enviroments. She also has a limit to how far she can stretch her arms without dislocating anything. Lastly, she also has a limit to how much tape she can produce how her mouth and it takes awhile for it to regenerate. Keigo TakamixRumi Usagiyama: Zukiko Takami (鷹見 月行): Daughter and only child of Keigo and Rumi. Her skin is blend of Rumi's and Keigo's skin color. She's got Rumi's eye color, Keigo's hair color, and white wings. She also has white rabbit ears and feet like Rumi. Hero Name: Sky Aider Quirk: Just Rumi' and Keigo's quirk together in one body. It's overpowered as frick but I honestly couldn't think of a way to fuse the two together without it just looking like two quirks instead of just one. lol I really wanted to have a Skvader hero though so this is the best I could do. I spent more time trying to make the name a "Fly Me to the Moon" pun than making quirks that are not overpowered for Zukiiko! XD
Well, anyway that's it. That's all the quirk combinations I had on my list I wanted to type on for now. I still have 3 other ships I wanted to experiment quirks with but they wouldn't have been as excited as the rest up above, so those ships are a pin to put in for a part 3 later. I hope you enjoyed the read. Thank you for anyone who took the time to read it.
Just a she/her that loves animation, creating characters, and shipping a lot. Commissions are closed, sorry.
