So I came across some artist_beware drama on LJ, some furry commissioned a well known artist for something, the artist made some errors, likely because the the description was vague, the commissioner started some drama and threatened a chargeback and shit and further drama ensued
you can see for yourself https://artists-beware.dreamwidth.org/1479301.html

But one furry artist in the comments said that errors and mistakes should be expected because they are artist and that is how they are(check in the op pic for the comment)

To what extent is that true? If you were commission an artist to say draw a blonde girl shooting orcs with an ak47

and the artist drew a girl shooting orcs with an m16, is that the "interpretation of the artist?"

Yes.

Humans make errors. Believe it or not artists are human too.
>>
>>2759953
yes

Okay, so next time Marvel turns a male Caucasian super hero into a black lesbian, don't whine cause thats their artistic interpretation
>>

That is irrelevant to the topic at hand.

>>2760006
That's literally what it is, though.
You may not like it or the fact that it's pandering to tumblr fads, but that is still what it is.

Also, the OP isn't even about the artist "interpreting" the guy's character, the nignog paid for a discount "no fixes" commission and then got mad when the artist wouldn't fix things he didn't like.
You get what you pay for.

That's like buying a used cintiq for $300 with no warranty on craigslist or something and then crying and threatening the seller when it dies a week later.

It's also hard to sympathize when the post is so fucking cancerous with attention whoring beyond even the scope of regular furfaggotry.

>If you refuse to fix it, I will be getting my money back

Seems about right. No business is exempt from this.
>>
>>2760116
He literally agreed for the artist to be exempt from that when he commissioned him.
>>
flip the canvas
>>
>>2760006
so that type of interpretation
>>
When it comes to commissions, your interpretation should fill in the gaps of the instructions, not replace the instructions.

For your example, if someone asked for a blonde girl shooting orcs with an ak47 and you drew a brunette that isn't "your interpretation" that's you fucking up an explicit instruction. It has orcs, it has an AK-47, she's shooting at at the orcs, she's a girl, she's blonde. That isn't code for "draw an M4 if you want" that's an AK-fucking-47. The person commissioned you wanting THESE THINGS, it's not your place to go "but I like brunettes better"

However that instruction (assuming that's the extent of them) gives you leeway on, say, what the girl is wearing, what the orcs look like, how many orcs there are, etc. Those are the gaps in the description that gives you artistic liberties, and if the requester wasn't specific enough and pitches a fit that's him being a fucking cunt.

Pretty much. In OP's case the commissioner is right provided he gave the artist accurate reference to work with
>>
>>2759953
This shit was more "comissioner approved the sketch then demanded OOC changes with no negotiable remuneration" and that is an absolute sin of freelance work. That's why we make contracts and expect the clients to read them.

On topic, I personally refuse to draw extremelly detailed scenes if not given reference of all characters, logos, and other named articles. Because I know how autistic comissioners can be, specially with original characters.

>>2759985
>>2759980
no, if an ak47 is specified, and an m16 is drawn, that's blatantly unprofessional.

>>2760127
>>2760017
However in this case it doesn't seem like something so specific, so if this "no changes u get discount" was the agreement than these dudes are on point.

>>2759953
errors aren't what make good art art, choice is. Fuckign casuals.
