Advice on Anonymous Requests
- Feb. 19th, 2015 at 7:43 PM
Well i have been wondering about this considering i've been searching this on DA about this and wonder has anyone ever done these before? consdiering i've got a note from someone asking for a request for the user to be annonymous. (Though on my DA page usually have to ask me since i don't do many of them on the site at all) I do have a concern about this since usually something like this would go wrong real easily.
So i was wondering is this actually normal to do since i've never seen this before often and how did you handle this?

Personally, I don't really have an issue with it? I mean, if the user wishes to remain anonymous, then that's up to them. It'd be pretty simple to just post the image and state it was a request from a user who wishes to remain anonymous and leave it at that. That's essentially what I did in the case of the anonymous commission. I had a rather pleasant experience with the commissioner as well, so, I never really found it to be an issue.
But honestly, if you are really concerned with it, then just politely explain that you don't feel comfortable with doing anonymous requests. Your concerns over something should always come first. If something doesn't sit right with you, then you are not obligated to go along with it.
Edit: Fixed a minor spelling mistake.

I've personally never seen a problem with people wanting to remain anonymous, especially if they're commissioning lewd things, and simply don't want it associated with them on a personal level. You never know when someone will search your name and did up stuff that you bought years ago.
Hasn't happened to me yet, thankfully. x3
However, I would personally be a little cautious if someone requested that it be completely anonymous, as in they request that you don't post the picture at all, either. I've seen an AB before where the commissioner requested the picture he purchased not be posted, but the artist posted it anyway. (I believe there was a bit of a language barrier there?)
As it turned out, one of the characters the commissioner requested to be used wasn't his own and he didn't have permission to use it.
Just saying, if something like that feels sketchy, there's a chance that it is. Not sure how high a chance, but I would tread carefully all the same. ^_^
As for an anonymous one? It depends. Personally I'm not really inclined to do requests anyway, if someone has an interesting enough concept I might consider it. But again, it couldn't be some creepy stalker crap.
I'd only worry about it if they wish to keep it from being posted, in which case I personally would add an additional charge.
