I think it is definitely based on how much someone is paying. If I am paying $100+ for the art I expect to see the sketch before I pay so that way I pay when the artist is working on it rather than getting scammed. For cheaper commissions though not as important to see sketches.
This thooo. I see it too much nowadays where people think normal fandon interactions are creepy/weird (roleplay, fanfiction, fansongs, even fanart) people are way too critical and refuse to just enjoy stuff even if at times it's a little cringey.
Everything this author writes is like that but it's not in a "this is creepy way" it's more of, what did you expect from a world different than yours, type of way
The rest of the world doesn't revolve around you... Not everyone has as easy access to the same content you do... And Naveen isn't even black, he's south Asian which she has Aladdin on the art so clearly that isn't the issue.😭
When it comes to fan content, I will only leave comments if I like the work. If I don't? Hey it's not for me and I'm not paying to consume the content so why should I bring someone down for it?
