I never expect artists to work for free. I know I sure would not do so myself. And I dont know how your art looks like. I might like it, or may think it doesnt fit the content and feel of the picture.

I wont post any more updates from now on though.
No reason to get your enthusiasm dampered, but at the same time you shouldn't mention things like paying people. Just a general "I commissioned to get this done" is good enough.

Updates aren't a bad thing, it shows progress. And yeah, art styles vary. It may be that mine doesn't fit your style, but when it comes to art, personally, the only people I will charge are businesses or if people are going to use something for promotional/monetary profit.

In the art world, comments and feedback from updates are seen as welcome. It can help you see things you otherwise wouldn't see, such as a typo on an essay or a sentence may sound better. It's not like we're all trying to gang up on you and say "OMG YOU SUCK LOL!!!!" That's just the way we roll. Its being helpful in our eyes. ^^
