I don't know about that, but there is two sides to look at that I can see
as a person that has bought a fair amount of furry art of over the last
year. You also have the economy and loads of cons happening..
From the point of view of the artist they don't want burnt (not paid) so
they want paid upfront in many cases understandable..
From the point of view of the commissioner I don't want burnt either. I
have been burnt more than once, and still have commissions that were paid
for over a year ago which still haven't been completed.

Do it because you want to. Feel free to post your less
than perfect pics, since everyone has their own level and
odds are you'll be better than many of us.

I'm of the opinion that if I can make sufficient to pay for
my materials, then I have a 'free hobby'. Can't hate that.

Commissions are maybe your best bet. I may start taking
t-shirt requests when I get a bit better. Will be posting
a pic (probably today) of the Des Lee (sketch by JMH)
t-shirt that I sprayed over the weekend. Pretty rough,
IMHO, but getting better with practice.

Well, my colouring ability is pretty damn average, IMHO,
but I'll give it a go, if you like. Been trying to
airbrush on A4. TOO small! Can't get enough graduation
and detail. Will try again on A3 - should be okay.

Shouldn't that be JTB studios, looking at your email
address? Had a quick squint at your site, appears you have
a fair idea about drawing. Keep up the good work.
