So one of my favourite things to do is to go through http://ClientsFromHell.net, which is an endless list of stories from graphic designers, artists, photographers, web builders etc about terrible clients they've had. I thought, why not share our own horror stories here? Have you had a commissioner that left you dumbfounded, enraged, or completely broken? Consider this a rant thread
I'll start with a client that dumbfounded me. He asked for a "gasm" reaction image for his Twitch channel, and was constantly asking for minor, specific, but also nonsensical changes. He was convinced this blushing/moaning/drooling character simply looked like she was yawning, and then, keeping in mind this character normally wears a dress that covers her whole chest/shoulders/neck:
Client: I definitely think if you just see the top of her neck and a tiny bit of her chest that will help with the gasm effect, Because it will give the illusion she isn't wearing anything.
Me: ah yep, i’m definitely not comfortable drawing a naked emote though.
Client: I mean she wouldn't actually be naked. I don't mean anything actually lewd lol
