Granted, but you ended up spilling the beans instead. I mean, come on. We were supposed to have those beans for breakfast.
I wish for an apartment.

My answer would be maybe.

Loyalty and honesty are the two most important on both. Good sense of humour, good chemistry. Someone who genuinely wants what's best for you.

As someone who commissions art(perhaps a little too much ^^'') and have a good amount of experience on this front there's always something at the back of my head that gnaws ever so gently when an artist, or supposed artist approaches me for commission work. The initial interactions is rather vital for me to indicate whether or not this is a legitimate artist contacting me or if it's a bot/AI or someone trying to scam me.
- First point to look out for is a gallery. Does this artist, or supposed artist, have a gallery? Granted, not all artists have one but it's a good way to show someone's portfolio and increases the chance of someone being a legit artist. This art gallery can be on FurAffinity, deviantArt or what have you.
- Second point is speech patterns and general language use. Some scams are literal bots/AI, and as such are easy enough to distinguish through some clever wording and sentence structuring. In the case it's a real person trying to scam this can be detected through a bit of inquiring about their supposed.. "work", although I really don't recommend treating every potential artist as a scammer. That's rather backwards.
- Pattern recognition, although this one may be a bit more on the Autistic side of things. There is more often than not patterns in things, especially speech, so keep an eye out for various patterns that may indicate whether this artist is legit or not.
- Art consistency. Consistent art is important especially if the artist, or supposed artist, have a gallery. You should be able to verify this rather easily even for artists with a mid level of skills. Some artists however have several styles that they draw, one such prime example is feve who does different styles depending on what's been commissioned.
In the case of you having posted an advert (example below. The finished piece ended up as a Japanese Oni samurai which were a bit of a deviation from the original ad, but it came out pretty nicely regardless :>. It's in the spoiler just below for anyone curious) where you are looking for an artist to do a specific pose, scene or what have you, a scammer could use this as a potential venue of getting money from people. That chance is low however as you're the one putting out an ad and get to see various artists with their portfolios, which is where scammers tend to end up being discouraged as portfolios and even publically available galleries is a huge boon for genuine artists.
I could write half a novel on interactions alone when it comes to trying to figure out whether this artist is legit or not, but I will refrain from doing so and save people from reading Autistic drivel.
In general just use your intuition and feeling on the front, and be aware of scammers, but don't let it stop you from normal interactions and making a potential genuine artist happeh with a commission.

Good Lord. I know this is horribly late of me because my activity here the last year or so have been sporadic at best, but may she rest in peace. And may she and her family have my condolences on their loss as she will obviously be sorely missed.
If there is such a thing as an afterlife I wish her a good one.

One of my previous attempts like two months or so back at doing digitigrade anthro/kemono sci-fi space captains standing on their ship's bridge. Came out pretty damn well I dare say, though the background could need work, and so does his eyes. Oh well, an experiment success none the less I suppose.
And then we have those more crisp detailed pieces. I've learned quite a lot over the course of two months and my prompt crafting have gotten pretty decent I'd argue.
I had some very good Medieval/Viking-themed ideas but this retard somehow managed to delete the folder they were located in.
Oh well. Will have to go create something better at a later date.

Granted. But the poor thing is hungry all day, and have now started chewing on your sofa. Tasty tasty stuffings.
I wish for a carnivorous giant eggplant.
