Normally, for me at least, the people who go down on me are my clients. lol. 😀 What’s strange is potential clients praise my work, and when do become my clients they roll their eyes and probably cursing in their minds. And the reason for this is because I did not make them “pretty”. And by “pretty” I mean plasticky. People have different expectations now that they are very well aware that Photoshop exists.
