I know this community is mainly used to warn against /bad/ commissioners/artists.
But I decided to make a positive post, since many of you have experience commissioning things (or even offering commissions yourselves) I'm curious as to who you guys think are great commissioners or artists!
Who would you recommend? Who's your favorite? and what sort of great experiences have you had with the person?
I say this in addition to satisfied curiosity, I'm also considering a two character drawing commission (hopefully in time for Valentine's day, and if not then, by March 1st) and I'm just tryin' to do some homework as to who people would recommend for their commendable and buisnesslike qualities, among others, of course.
Even though I've done a few commissions for other's before (mostly costume commissions, though one or two art commissions as well), I've only ever asked for 1 commission of two conbadges before. They were done by
neogeen who did an extremely good job. And I'd recommend her anyday. :3
Thanks. :D

Roz Gibson (from what I hear)
Mike Russell (although he demands art BEFORE payment, he is good for it)
That guy who commissions pics of Cassie Vixen. Foxonian?
Dave Wolf (fwtneon on Sheezyart): Prompt payment, easy 'assignment', really nice guy!
WolfPhan/Lupine Cubb: Patient and asks for easy things...I haven't officially accepted his commission yet, I'm on the verge of it and am excited to get to work with him.
These are people who will be getting discounts if they bring me repeat business, I am so happy with them :D
shetani is awesome to work with
Really, anybody who says what they want, rather than just "You pick something, you're the artist!" ;)

Pretty much everyone I've delt with on Furbid has been awesome. Imago_Rabbit, Neverraven, Sonitweek, Airguitar, Trinearth and Yami-griffin... all awesome communication and punctual people. ^_^
StephenRSJr and Lilydoll from dA, they've been very patient with me after I've had some difficulties.
as far as commissioners.. here are some repeat customers <:3 and that is always a plus! Kahateni Silverfoxwolf BigBlueFox Johnie TigerEye Kyle Diefenderfer Pyre CrazyDogz On the whole, just about everyone i've worked with has been great <:3 clear descriptions, none too picky with what came out on the paper, pretty good about getting out payment when billed.. you know.. the good commissioners greatly outnumber the not so good in my experience :3 ~~Huskie

I am, due to being a stressed-out mom of 3, about the slowest commissioner in the world (although I do get them done eventually, so I guess I've got some people beat) and they were all very patient with my time issues, paid promptly upon completion (and even in advance in some cases), gave great descriptions, and were otherwise pleasures to deal with.
In point of fact, I have only had one commissioner I would characterize as negative - the girl who kept "forgetting" to pay me despite reminders over the course of more than a year, until I finally ended up auctioning off the art. It was the only time I ever offered a sympathy-discount on my rates, so I consider that a lesson learned. I don't even remember her name.
