I think the biggest problem I run into when commissioning furry art is that many artists have not drawn very many girls, and as a result I have a hard time judging whether I like their art style or not.
When someone has a bunch of cute girls in their portfolio it easily turns into "this is very pretty and I want to see Nova/Maffi/whoever drawn like this!"
@NovaSquirrel Same for me, also includes squirrels since we are not as common!
@NovaSquirrel Ah indeed.
