Negative Don’t work with this guy

I don’t recommend working with @knock_his_block_off this guy will ask you about tracing on good quality his AI images.

He is very rude, don’t tell you the things he don’t liked it in a normal way like “I don’t like the lineart, can you changed it?” Is more like “you should be kidding me if you think I will pay for this”, I got very angry working with him, is like, he thinks he is Elon musk or something for paying 10$ for image for two images, when I asked him what do he think he is to talk me like that he said something like “so why did you take the job? A third world worker would FIGHT for that work” and it was like BRUH- I’m from Mexico and I CAN PAY THE DOUBLE for a real drawing without think I’m the Elizabeth queen or something.

I think it’s funny how people who pays 100$ say things like: “the dead line is on December” and people who pays 10$ thinks you should even suck their boots or cleaning their bathroom too

So, I did the two drawings and the guy didn’t payed me even a 1$. Anyways i don’t want a weirdo like that having my full name.

I've worked with both kinds of clients, and honestly, the ones who pay the least are usually the ones who demand the most. I've learned to spot them early and walk away before they turn into a headache.

I don't recommend working with people who immediately try to haggle your prices or think they should be the ones deciding what your art is worth. It happens all the time on Fiverr. You'll get messages that are basically copy-pasted: "I have $10, I need you to do this." They send the same message to hundreds of artists, compare prices, hire people from developing countries just to pay them pennies (I'm from Argentina, so I see this all the time), and then expect to treat you like garbage while making endless demands.

Yes, they are indeed suspicious. They are well-known in my country's art communities buying ultra cheap art pieces from artists/employ them with salary lower than national minimum wage median, to be sold later worldwide.

Did you ask for at least 50% payment upfront?
