If an artist is doing commissions on artistree, vgen and reddit, it should be mandatory for them to provide clients with a sketch before being paid in order to prove that they can replicate the desired art style of the art the client wants drawn.
That's what I do. I even refund clients when I feel like the drawing isn't going the way I wanted it.That being said, I don't need the money and all my clients are subbed to my Patreon.
>>7731563Their Portfolio should already being doing that. If they're asking for a style that's out of your range, maybe they should have hired someone who's work is closer to what they want?Why should the artist refund the client who wasted their time, and didn't know what they want?
>>7731563that has the problem of being exploited by jeets to get free sketches to feed into img2imghalf up front, half on delivery has its problems too, but it kinda works
>>7731563scammer mad he can't scam the way he used to lmao
>>7732108>half up front, half on delivery has its problems tooPlease elaborate.
like another anon said their backlog of work already does that.honestly the way the west does commissions is retarded. the japanese already figured it it out with skeb. no back and forth allowed with minimal contact, artist completes a drawing or you get refunded. done. too bad something like skeb would never work here due to payment processors wanting their hands all over everything,
>>7732152Artists are scamming client because they lie about being able to replicate artstyles the client wants when they can't
>>7732767Clients go for artists that they want to draw for them. It's not artists' job to apply to you.
Do you still need an invite to vgen to be able to post your shit there?
>>7732155pay me 50% of the commission now, no refunds. You can pay the rest when the commission is finished. If it gets cancelled halfway, at least the artist pocketed half of it for their time.
>>7731563This is why my communiques go over Discord, and that I never 'hand over' the final piece until after payment confirmation. It's all screenshots until then.
