Player: Offers

Artist: Tells them it's very rare, and that there are no other copies. Or tells them that it's worth more than they're offering.

Player: Offers an orange long

Artist: Realizes they got profit from that, they create a lot more.

Then this cycle happens to a lot more players. Then when the player realizes they don't want the art anymore, they try to trade it away for a higher price to make profit. This causes a domino effect, and it sucks when you're trying to trade off your glitched items, and someone offers Chocolate art, saying they gave up a black long for it. I know the feeling on that... I once commissioned an artist for a one of a kind piece and they made copies.. Omgblah, this is specifically addressed to you lol

Did you ask the artist to have it be one of a kind?

Because if you didn't than they have the right to make copies. It's their art as they're the one who drew it.

If you did ask them however, then what they did was not okay (Unless they just made a copy for themself so they could use it as an example of their art) When you commission its one of a kind. Thats the point of a commission. If you didn't specifically ask, then how would they know?

And the point of a commission is not to have it be one of a kind. It's so that you can have art of your character.

And it's their art. Their choice what the do with it if you don't specify. they could've at least told their commissioner "hey it's my art, I can make copies" instead of agreeing to a one of a kind masterpiece then afterwards make more copies. like to me it's fine to have the art saved and show it somewhere but making profit off of it after they said not to is a no

it was miscommunication on both parts Why should the artist have to say that?

For example, I do art commissions (Mostly on other platforms though)

If someone asks me to draw their character, and they pay me, I do it.

I send them the artwork, then both me, and that person have the right to do what they want with it. If I want to sell it as a print, then I can sell it as a print. (I dont sell prints, but this is just an example)

However if that person asks me to not sell it as a print, I won't.

Besides, these are in game items. They aren't worth anyones hard work, and time in the long run.
