Keep in mind, it's only for foxes in which you KNOW the origins are ranched (so chances are any stoles you have can go into that group). They don't accept naturally occuring variations (Red, Cross, Silver) Unless they KNOW it was ranched and where it came from.

I can't BELIEVE they are giving tips like this! What, Deviants are just too stupid to realize that they are doing art for what they're worth? Bullshit! Don't abuse starter artists just because you can! That's absurd.
Especially since sometimes you have a budget and the easiest way to tell by the budget and if you can afford the art is to first ask the artist what they would charge.
I refuse to pay for my art upfront anymore... I've been scammed so often, and I've been left in the dark for months while waiting for a commission.
However, I don't get the tone of the article completely as he is looking down on DA artists, and some of his methods are shady... But if the artist is agreeing on the project and the amount, I fail to see how he's quite doing something wrong.
It's a question of moral and does and don'ts.
And I know more than enough new artists who do not charge as much as their art is worth. At the same time though, an artist did name their price (assuming that they didn't ask for said artist to lower their price even more... That irritates me, especially in a case like this!) and this person is getting the experience that they likely may not have gotten before.
It's not how I do business, and I understand how people view it as a moral part. At the same time, I know projects like these and business transactions as these are what some artists (the very few that I've talked to) have used to boost their own commissioning.
It still comes down that I'm assuming that he's not hassling artists to lower their prices to what he wants, and the artist is making what they wanted to make out of it. Under priced to many of us, but if the other artist comes away happy, and the guy comes away happy. I still don't see any real harm done.
Anyway, thanks for sharing your view, I guess I was a bit hasty with the judging..
- thank you

Wow...
