Ohhhhh yeah. D: If they turn out to be a jackass (like, habitually I mean, not just once) then I will move right along. Sometimes the same if they do art/fic of something that really, really squicks me (like, that really creeps me out, I mean, not just something I don't ship) too (and the more of it there is and the more serious (non-crack) it is, the more likely I am to go D: and leave instead of just ignoring it and looking at the stuff I do like).
Same thing if they can't take critique, I guess. And by that I mean they flame reviewers who were polite (flaming trolls is fine :P), delete (non-troll) reviews, or habitually break down in e-tears or something at any negativity (again, non-troll and non-flame; I mean something like, "Minerva seemed OOC when she called Septima her 'little love pumpkin'". And I don't mean just doing that one time (I mean, everyone has bad days sometimes), or being kind of :( when people don't like their fic/art, I mean to the point where you know if you leave anything other than praise it's going to cause drama drama drama). Just not replying to critique isn't nearly so bad, though it definitely makes me less likely to leave a review other than "I liked this" or something similar.
Them doing all one thing, or mostly one thing, wouldn't bother me unless it was a thing I hated (see above). But, say someone occasionally draws really awesome Good Omens pictures and the rest of their gallery is full of stuff for [fandom I'm not in], that wouldn't bother me.
Updating too much? Eh... that might make me take them off my main filter or whatever so I didn't get spammed constantly, but I'd still keep a link and check out their gallery once in a while and comment on stuff I could think of a comment about.
I don't think it really depends too much on what kind of artist they are... though I guess a gallery full of squicky art is more off-putting than a gallery full of squicky fic, because of thumbnails.
Hating something I love, eh... I guess it depends on how they are about it, if they just don't want anything to do with it, fine, but if they're all "PEOPLE WHO LIKE THIS ARE LAME AND STUPID" then that kind of falls under "being a jackass".
Haha this applies to non-internet stuff, too. There's no goddamn way I'm reading anything by Harlan Ellison after his various idiocy that's shown up on Fandom Wank (being an unprovoked asshole to the Penny Arcade guys, groping that woman at that convention). And I'm not too keen on reading anything else by Heinlein after the Lazerus Long stuff was soooo full of incest. D:
