I have absolutely horrid luck with artists. Over 2/3 of artists I commission either run off with my money or take way longer than stated and don't respond to my emails. The folks who I /want/ to commission never respond to my serious inquiries or once I've sent the description they vanish altogether, even for something simple. It's really starting to piss me off as it is a recurring theme.
Right now I'm looking for artists who draw expressive (whether it be cartoony or semi-realistic) humans well (not in anime style!). Can anyone recommend anyone that will actually respond to emails and not ditch me?
I'm starting to think there's a "Don't let Thornwolf commission you" list out there. I'm really not hard to work with as generally if I commission someone its based on their style and their imagination and I try to commission something that highlights what they would draw normally, for example if someone draws canines really well I'm not going to ask them to draw a cat, or if they really like drawing expressions I'd ask for something expressive.
Good customer service really shouldn't be a rare thing but unfortunately it seems to be that way.

I'm about to update with a new web site, so I haven't posted any new art for a while, but I can provide more samples at your request.
Well there's me: http://subversive-imaginati.storm-artists.net/ I'm studying how to realistically paint human right now. I already draw them in no less than three different styles including comic.
If you're looking for a tip top realism artist though I reccommend Kallen, she's dealing with power outages right now so you might want to wait a bit for her to be regularly around but she's an incredible artist.

Oh and I also recommend Manshi http://manshi.deviantart.com/ she did a wonderful sketch for me a while back.
Should you have a page on DA, I would like to be contacted there via notes. But working out details via email and IM is good also.
By the way, DO you have a page on DA? If so, I'll watch you there.
She's super awesome :)
