well, paysite stuff is nice because I get to pick nearly everything about it - the subject of ‘girl’ and ‘furry critters in porn’ is basically all I have to adhere to with my stuff, which makes it really easy just to concentrate on making it really interesting me, which hopefully makes it better for everyone else as a final product!
I think less artists should be taking dirt cheap commissions, because those really harm the perception of how artists should be paid and what their time is worth. it’s really up to artists to not set prices so low, and to not compromise on prices that are already low. :(
