RE: After I painted this they offered me crumbs per Illustration (NOT COOL)
Yes, I hear similar stories a lot. Artists have to stand for their work and value themselves accordingly, while at the same time taking advantage of opportunities where the reward is not solely financial. It is a delicate balance, but those who can keep it properly will progress in the end of the day. Good luck in your future endeavors!
As an artist i 've experienced more or less those situations, clients don't want to pay and they try to trick you by saying that they will give you a lot of exposure...The only advise i can give is send a lot of sketches first, let him decide what he likes, send him some more, take the money and then finish the artwork. Don't put too much effort from the start, clients tend to change their minds a lot. I love your artwork , good luck and keep up the good work:)
indeed, this is a lesson i rapidly learned... now I ask for half of the budget or I send watermarks everywhere... it s kinda working pretty much lately =)
Thanks a lot guys!
