How do you respond to people who commission you really bad OC characters?

your job is to draw them, not judge their author's creativity and intelligence

You don't.

You're job is to do what you are told, nothing more, nothing less. Even if you think things would be better another way, you don't do it.

Only if you're client asks for your input do you put forth your ideas, but the bottom line is what they decide.

I don't take the commission because I'm popular enough to pick and choose whatever I want to draw.

>really bad OC characters

That’s like a really bad PIN number, or a really bad ATM machine. But to answer your question, it’s usually the drawing that sucks, not the OC. Drawing them well will surprise you.

I would not take on that assignment in the first place. Have some dignity. Work a normal job if you are at a level where that is the only work people will hire you for.

Yes, they tend to be massive autists and keep commissioning the same picture over and over for big bucks.

Say you're not comfortable, it doesn't work in your style or some shit like "thank you for your interest but I am currently focusing on work that fits into my existing portfolio". I like to be nice about it.

Since it's related.. I'll charge more for things like pic related but I won't without at least some sort of references. It's like pulling teeth to get more description info out of people. They also tend to be the people who are completely happy and giving me the go ahead through my constant progress updates and questions, only to want to change nearly the entire thing as soon as it's done.

I get some random raver vampire anime OCs with tame fetishes like hypnotism out of the blue here and there(i draw mostly ornithology studies) and it can be fun because how out of the blue it is to me.
If I'm slacking because I hate it to where I'm half assing it I'll just refund them.

I draw lots of meme shit so hopefully my audience is perceptive enough to irony that they know what I actually think about the subject matter of what I'm drawing.l

Tell them "hey, I think your character would work better like this" and ask if you can draw them like that instead.
If they say no, be a professional and do teh best you can with the design.

When I open commissions I do a google form and I get commission requests. I make them upload a picture or describe their oc briefly and I do the ones I like better

You sound like an autist that owns this sort of shit character and had countless commissions requests denied because of it.
