That being said, the timeline for this project was short and ultimately they prolonged the timeline because they needed more time to give feedback with their higher ups. The same producer told me to reach out to her if I haven't received a payment within 30 days while explaining sometimes they pay net 60. In my contract, it said payment was expected 60 days after my invoice was submitted. It's been well past 30 days and I have not been able to get in contact with the producer or their accounting department. | |||||||||

Ignored my reminders and paid after 30 days even though they said they "always strive to pay within two weeks after receiving the invoice". So they didn't agree to my 10% interest rate for every 30 days missed. Peer who got commissioned from them said they ignored their emails and didn't pay until after 3 months. 2. Wouldn't send or sign my contract. They see email as a "better and more efficient way" of agreement. Felt okay about it at the time until they didn't pay. 3. I told AD it'll take me a certain amount of days over the weekend to make revisions. AD said "sorry, it shouldn't take you that long". Didn't respond even after I responded in 15 minutes with the quickest revision I could make. Following Monday, told me they didn't want to work with me again (go figure) 4. All 5 articles were in Dutch, which I can't understand. They told me to just Google Translate, which took forever because the text was formatted in a way that doesn't copy/paste well. Took more than hour to do. | |||||||||

| 8/20/2020 13:45:10 | The New Yorker | Comic strip / Shouts & Murmurs submission (basically their gags/funnies section of the website) | $400 | Technically, yes! However I was able to re-negotiate and that allowed for me to retain copyright. They now instead use an exclusivity clause. | Yes | Yes | 2020 | This was my VERY first job with the New Yorker and ultimately it was a wonderful experience! I got the job after Emma Allen reached out to me to contribute. The editors are great and willing to answer any questions you may have, as are the Conde Nast employees when it comes to the contract they have you sign. I HIGHLY recommend negotiating contracts with them, because that was the only way I managed to keep the copyright for the comics I pitch to them, and as of right now it's more of an exclusivity clause situation. HUGE personal win. As some submitters mentioned previously, they do have you set up getting paid through their Conde Nast portal, and it can take up to 5 weeks for you to get paid. However, I received the invoice for my first submission about two weeks after the comic was published, and noticed that the invoice was drafted 5 days after publication. All in all, it took about 3 weeks for me to get paid, which is pretty tight! | Her | N/A | Wrote as well | Writer, Artist, For this process, you submit pitches as sketches and if they are 'purchased', you'll do a final version that meets their online publishing specifications, which they will then put on their site. | 0-5 Years | United States | Black, Caribbean, Latinx | ||

They came back and said they needed a another sample this time paying me $300 extra added on the the original fee or I walk away with that fee if I’m not approved. I did a spread of two separate pages this time. I wasn’t approved in the end and they said they have decided to find someone who could copy the og artists style. The art director was very nice and seemed to enjoy my work. I was also told the team there enjoyed it so I feel like they just didn’t have the okay from the authors of having a different artist and I was in the middle of something weird? | Her | Only drew art | 5-10 years | United States | Black, Caribbean | ||||

| 1/7/2022 14:06:17 | Tor/Macmillan | Book Cover | 4000 | No | Yes | No | 2021 | I signed the contract and began work in April 2021. I was expected to be paid in June 2021 (deadline stated in contract), but the editor requested revision after revision (+5) and I didn't get paid for my work until November 2021. I had no choice, their contract didn't stipulate anything about revision times and I hadn't thought to request it at them time (won't happen again). The whole process was extremely lengthy, exhausting, and overall tedious, since a lot of the edits requested ruined the piece, in my opinion. The book's season also moved to a different one, which was unforeseen, but extended the time that I had to continue working on the edits requested, and ultimately to wait to be paid. The only silver lining was that once the invoice was received by their office, (which also took WAY longer than was needed, apparently my invoice was "hadn't been received" or "didn't get sent" and I had to remind the editor multiple times over several weeks that I still hadn't been paid even after sending the invoice), I was paid in 3 business days. | Her | Only drew art | 0-5 Years | USA | East Asian | Yes please | |||

I am still waiting on a response from the author's admin, who I had been speaking with over the months. Responses come so infrequently and I have to email multiple times to even elicit one email. Communication is just really frustrating; I've been told that apparently the author wants edits to be made, (from an email I received in early December of 2021) but I still have yet to receive anything specifying that. No emails, no other responses, nothing. I periodically ask for updates from the author's admin, but she either ignores my emails for a time, or doesn't care to respond in a helpful manner. I have absolutely no clue what is happening over there, and I am starting to doubt that I'll be paid at all, or that the project will continue. | Her | Australia | East Asian | Yes please | ||||||

| 3/28/2024 4:02:36 | Korean Educational Textbook | Book Cover with Interiors | 33,377.94 US dollars (45k in Korean won) | No | Yes | Yes | 2022 | It was a job I got thanks to another illustrator's recommendation to the person in charge of the project. It was a huge project that's funded by the government because it's an educational textbook to learn Korean for foreign students. Definitely well-paying than most jobs you get in Korea (on average, I feel that I get 1/5 or even 1/10 of the fee for the same job in the US) but if you divide it up by how many drawings I've have to make for how short amount of time, it's not worth it. Despite the importance of project, the schedule was badly planned out and generally rushed with no room for negotiation (within 3 months). One major red flag I've noticed while working with Korean companies is that often times you will be working under & with people who have absolutely no design expertise. No art directors or creative directors or head designer or even just the designer. Which means that the work flow can be very unproductive, repetitive, time-consuming, and often lead to badly designed outcomes. A few silver linings may be that now, I know that I never want to work on a Korean textbook ever again, and that I can now take verbal abuse from clients and not let it ruin my day. | Her | around 600+ PSD files | Only drew art | 5-10 years | South Korea | East Asian | Yes please | UNITEEEEEE | |

| 6/19/2024 14:33:14 | WizKids/NECA | Tabletop Board Game Illustration | $800 | Yes | Yes | No | 2024 | I've been working with this studio as a freelancer for the past 3 years, roughly having completed around 20 different board game designs for some of the worlds largest IP from studios such as Marvel, DC, and WB. More times than not, there is very little art direction given, even when asked for it. They hardly ever pay on time and more than once, they have misplaced or lost my invoices which lead to even longer delays in getting paid. Typically, they will ask for two full illustrations for the game boards at a time and i've gradually been able to raise my rates each project. (The past few projects i've been able to do for $800 per illustration) However, for the most recent project they set a hard rate of $750 and gave a firm 11 day turnaround time for a full color 24x24 detailed illustration. This might be common, but i typically work in TV Animation so i'm not entirely sure, but they also have very strict terms written into their contracts that say anything that's 1-3 days past the expected deadline, they will take 10% of your rate, 4-7 days late, they'll deduct 20% and anything further than that, they can walk away and not pay the artists for any work they did. There have also been multiple projects with them that I did not receive credit on upon checking the final shipped version of the games. | Their | Not Applicable | Pencils, Inks, Color Flatting, Colorist, Artist | 10-15 years | US | White | Yes please | unite! | |
