A phenomenon in the art community, and a form of client-zoning. To be denied friendship by an artist hired for a personal work. This typically happens after the customer is handed the finished piece and the artist no longer has the obligation, or any incentive to continue messaging. Emotions can be intensified if the customer has purchased an nsfw work, especially if they are deprived of sexual interactions, and or, if the paying customer feels entitled to additional attention. The customer is usually left with a piece they like visually, but associate with negative feelings.
Person1:
“I think Kai got commission-zoned when he bought the YCH for his fursona.. Kai says he loves the piece.. but he gets visually uncomfortable looking at it.. and he also talks about the artist a lot”
Person2:
“Commission what?”
Person1:
“He tried to befriend an artist and got rejected. Kai can’t even make it into the friend-zone.. but who thinks they can befriend someone running a business?”
Person2:
“Damn”

Get the Pen Zoned mug.A close/best friend that still loves you, but no longer needs you for support, entertainment, guidance, affection, etc., and gradually stops involving you in their life/seeking you out in the same way or for the same reasons.
They still love you and will still answer/respond at the same rate when you reach out to them, but will no longer contact you on their own unless it's a special occasion, an emergency, or they need something specific.
Much like how children and young adults stop wanting to spend time with their parents and would rather spend time with their friends instead.
Being parent-zoned means you've essentially been replaced as a friend but without any malice or loss of love / emotional importance.

He still treats me with a lot of love and respect and is always there when I need him, but he doesn't call or text nearly as much as he used to. His personal situation hasn't changed, guess I've just been parent-zoned.
