I'd make their piece -before- they paid because they "seemed so nice that they wouldn't just ditch, right?" Wrong.
Even if they are a long time friend and you think you know them inside-out, make sure you see that money in your account before you put your time and effort into making what they asked for.
Learn from my mistakes, young ones!

Value your Art - Say NO to Beggars
This journal is to encourage artists to stand up for themselves and have the courage to say No.
Many artists out there have had their share of beggars over the years and I feel that it's important to warn others about them, especially the younger/more vulnerable artists who are new to the DeviantArt community.
Sadly, so many of us cave to beggars because we either have a hard time saying No, or because a lot of us question our art value.
The aim of this journal is to help artists understand the value of their art, and to hopefully teach them to stand up for themselves.

First I want to start with explaining commissions, and how you should value your art. This deviation: Commissions Explained was created for that exact purpose.
