Art commission question/gripe 

If an artist you're commissioning says they'll be "really slow", what expectation does that set? I opened a commission with an acquaintance quite a while ago and sent a finalized description on the 28th of march. I got an message received confirmation 2 weeks later, and haven't heard anything since. I was told not to send payment until I got at least a basic sketch.

I commissioned them b/c their anatomy drawing is good and I'm too nervous to approach a stranger.

Oh, this is for a ref sheet. I'd be a lot less impatient if it was for more general art, but since it's a ref sheet I'm holding off on getting anything else until I have it.
