I am begging artists to charge more for their commissions. Pleading. If you are charging anything less than $20/hour you are undercutting the market and making it harder for working artists to earn a livable wage. (And really, truly, you should be aiming at something like $50/hour). Why would anyone want to pay artists what they're worth when there are artists out there asking for pennies for the same thing?
I understand that it's difficult finding commissioners willing to pay higher prices (because they've seen artists charging nothing for art, that's why), but that's something we can fix together if we normalize charging what our work is actually worth!

Too many artists who do commissions, in my experience, don't take their job seriously enough.
It's a meme how some artists take months to complete a comm and "haha im so grateful for having patient commissioners" but that's just poor work ethics on the artist's part.
When you offer commissions, you don't just offer art, you also have to communicate with your client properly, give them proper updates, ask them for feedback during process, discuss things that your ToS doesn't cover if needed, and so on.
Just for example, if you're taking longer than expected, let them know why (just vague "due to personal problems" is enough) and if needed, offer a refund or another alternative instead of making your commissioner reach out to you for updates themselves and possibly stressing them out.
Otherwise, you're treating your commissioner like a nuisance that you're forced to work with, not a client who offers you money in return for proper service.

As someone who just saw your and others' posts about kagebros:
Has this happened before? How do you know it's not just close renders of their references, like they claim? And do you know why they say "this group" has targeted them in the past?
I'm new to TF Tumblr so these are all genuine questions. Appreciate any response you give!
Hi! Welcome to TF Tumblr! Pardon the mess. I'll stuff the answers under the cut. For those that are interested, there are two new examples(!)
Has this happened before?
The Optimus Prime painting that caught my attention was from 2023. But these are slightly before that. They have an abandoned wip up, but it's a trace from MTMTE 36.

This wip was later repurposed in 2022 and included in a print:

But it still has the backpack kibble from the trace. Thanks, Milne! Oh, and the Glitch from that one is also Milne's. Also from #36. That brings our count of traced + sold posters up to, what, four?
So I'd say there's a minor precedent.
How do you know it's not just close renders of their references, like they claim?
The wording on this one is a bit confusing, but I'll answer it as if the question is "How do you know that the art is referenced from their own photos, and not other's?" It's a reasonable question and a somewhat reasonable claim. Unfortunately, it's very hard to defend this claim when the drawings are 1:1 with official promotional material. It would be a lot of work to pose the toy exactly the same way, and take a photo using the exact same angle, with the same focal depth. There are maybe one or two that I could give this pass but honestly, I'm still doubtful.
Additionally, this doesn't cover the drawings that are traced from the comics, like above.
Do you know why they say "this group" has targeted them in the past?
Truthfully, no. As far as I'm aware, I'm not part of any "group" specifically out to target them. I'm just calling out tracing as I see it.

Made the discovery today that I am deeply and spiritually uncomfortable with the idea of getting married anywhere but in a DMV, as God and Moist von Lipwig intended
