>>8725892As you can tell, I've been interested in pixiv requests recently.: https://www.pixiv.net/en/users/63797358They're also a favorite, pretty nice style
https://skeb.jp/@broiler_uI got an 8k SFW appeal from this guy for my OC, which is quite strange considering all the guro he draws. And the non-guro stuff is reasonably cute. Some people from the thread have requested him before.
>>8725934more requests than appealsrare, do it
>artist's in so much pain she needs a walking stick to move arounddamn
>>8725931Thanks, I should start looking more into pixiv requests

Any artists that have sharper shading and shapes like this? I'm a big fan of this style, with the crisp lines. Especially with the way the flesh still appears pliable to the touch.
>>8725997cute ryo but the proportions seem off
>>8726002Is it? The thickness of the limbs seem correct relative to the torso. Head is a bit big, but that might just be the style.Unless she's just not supposed to be that petite?
>>8726008>Head is a bit bigyeah pretty much my complaint
>>8726008>Is it?Yes, head should be around this size
>>8726013Huh interesting Definitely changes the composition of the piece, to be sureI think that's just how he draws, at any rate
>>8725825Can I get the OP image without the request over it anywhere? I cant get enough pokegirls, and link artist

>>8725795>Instead of using the skeb button over manga someone should make the OP out of one of their deliveries.anon every time I've made the OP, and indeed, to my belief, nearly everytime ANYONE has made the OP, it's been a delivery
>>8726065unintentional power move desuwhat series?
>>8725997Never did get an actual answer to this
https://skeb.jp/@Luci_omi_gusuThis guy drew Elvira very well (pic related) but doesn’t draw lewd. Should I take a chance anyway?
>Put 20k points in my account for a request>Request gets cancelled because the artist got too many, they apologize in general on twitter>Now have 20k points and nothing to do with them
>>8726198request some small artist
>>8726198what artist let you downor at least what kinda content would make up for it
Has anyone here commissioned a gacha game artist before?
No but I have gotten a traditional commission from the offcial artist of a Chinese boys love novel before. At 4345 that was the most I've ever spent on a commission and I probably won't ever spend that much again. Especially since that was the price without coloring.
>>8726212I could save it for a bigger comm in the future but I'll probably go comm 4 5k artists I guess>>8726220Monstergirl artist that draws character designs. Honestly I might go comm nsfw for the first time
>>8726226>>8726228Forgot to hit reply.
>>87262284345 yuan? dollars?
>>8726226don't even know one who has comissions open, figured they'd be too busy
Does anyone know where I can find some trustworthy translators for skeb requests with Japanese text in them?
>>8726233That was a typo. $345 USD.
>>8726235just chatgp or microsoft copilot it. A month subscription to either is faster than a translator.
>>8726241Machine translations won't get slang or context in jokes. Those are only good for documents, not japanese dialogue.
>>8726243Maybe previous versions didn't. I've found it over-explains the jokes, but they are there. Slang is another issue altogether, and I agree on that point. That said, this is a porn thread. I feel that porn dialogue, even Japanese, is rarely so complex that these services cant provide a quality and inexpensive translation.
>>8726235I'm more interested in finding someone who can translate from English to fluent Japanese. Want to commission manga and voice and I need the characters to be talking naturally.
>>8726261>I'm more interested in finding someone who can translate from English to fluent Japanese.I'm also interested in this too. I'm hoping to trad commission a western artist some manga pages and would want them translated into Japanese so Skeb artists can understand the characters when I commission them. The risk is having no frame of reference to know if the person translating English to Japanese is just winging it. I'm surprised Skeb never implemented a paid translation option for general requests, to ensure your text didn't get jumbled up by machine translation. Being able to hire Japanese to English translators would make the Text category more appealing for English speaking users as well.
>>8726234I'd say your best bet is finding a good mimic, and even those are few and far betweenI know exactly one person who's even passably capable of aping the Touhou LostWord styleBut yeah if anyone knows who could mimic other game styles feel free to chime in
>need a paid gold account on Twitter to DM an artistWell fuck you, I won't commission you then
>>8725885Style is great-- vivid colors. Could use more like it.
Who's a really good chibi artist who takes skebs or commissions? I'm looking for someone as close to Komowata Haruka's quality or style: https://x.com/mokowata/media
>>8726289>Well fuck you, I won't commission you thenThis is the fault of Twitter. most users don't know that this setting is checked automatically when they join those subscription tiers. Japanese users are commonly inept at realizing that they have their twitter DMs turned off even on basic accounts. I've had to guide some artists through this.

https://skeb.jp/@eidamtoadam/works/3we love fortnite except for this fucking delivery. Sorry, anon. I didn't think the artist would make her so yellow. Terrible looking gun too.4k but accepted and finished within a day
Wow, albinonnR actually accepted this time. I guess third time is the charm.

>>8726410I hope they find some success as all artists deserve but at the same time I can't bring myself to pay for them because I'm too spoiled by knowing a lot of artists who draw better at that price point.
>>8726234Vilor who draws for Azur Lane sometimes takes personal commissions via DM/email. I've had her draw OCs for me before. You could probably get commissions from other artists for older gacha like Arknights that use a ton of different artists, because it's not a guarantee that all of those artists will be super successful or well-known.

Do Skeb artists follow a first come first served approach or is it highest bidders who get priority?
>>8726445yes
>>8726445Whatever they want just like any artist. Someone can be first come, first served. Someone else can be whatever they're motivated to do or like the most in the moment.
https://skeb.jp/@_inu84/works/20casual hair down elf delivery from an appealart turned out pretty cute and they were really fast (one day delivery), would recommend
Has anyone ever felt paranoid about their OCs image and references being stolen? There has been times I have considered adding watermarks to my reference gallery out of paranoia that someone would steal my OC and claim it as their own.
>>8726537I dont really care if they steal it especially if it means more content. If they claim it as their own it saves me a headache later
>>8726537I can't really imagine any situation where I'd need to actually dispute that, but it'd be pretty easy to prove they're mine
>https://skeb.jp/@oka_okakanoka5k, took about 4 days. was expecting to wait longer since they closed requests so this was a nice surprise to wake up to. >>8726423still feels like i got a bargain with this one. kinda want to request again, but im not sure what. >>8726537ive had people steal my characters before, but it never bothered me too much. makes an interesting story more than anything.
>>8726537Just don't delete the original ref, and it should be good. If your copy's creation date is earlier, then that could be proof enough you're the one that made it.
Pretty nice Celica delivery. One of the few artists that opted for the white eyes over the black ones. 12k for 3 poses is a great deal if you have a loli character.https://files.catbox.moe/yww9u0.pnghttps://skeb.jp/@yonketa4/works/68
>>8726560Also anon drew this 100x better comic to make up for the shitty one I got the other day. Thanks again, this is really good.
>>8726560Good to know12k is a lot, but I'll keep him in mind
>>8726553She's had quite the growth spurt.
https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/135370106anon
>>87265535k for 4 days? Good deal, nice style. Simpler request might be good for this guy. Plan beginning to form.
>>8726562he lives
https://files.catbox.moe/7bjdu6.pnghttps://skeb.jp/@hamacha_freeRisu with tentacles delivery. 12k, 20 days.
>>872656512k isn't a lot
>>8726575you could get 6 claws for that money Anon
>>872657724 claws even
>>8726574The two going into her ears is a nice touch.
>>8726537My current requests, I had the outfit for the heroine hidden, partially because I have two different skeb requests for it by different artists and partially because I want to save myself from embarrassment in case I don't finish my game. I allowed the design for the hero to be public because it was among the artist's first skeb requests so I gotta help 'em build their repertoire. But I don't anticipate people stealing the character designs. While my fingers are crossed for the male design to be popular, I don't think a silver hair with inner pink hair colored girl would be that popular anyway.Have you ran into an instance of someone stealing your or someone else's OC? The most I can think of is an artist taking inspiration from other designs. For instance, I swore Cut came up with the jirai kei design but, nah she just perfected it. She also took some I think Fate/Go design for a gyaru and knocked it out of the park.
>>8726537Can't say that's ever been a concern of mine no. Then again my characters were all designed through public requests on skeb and vgen so it wouldn't be hard to prove they're mine if I ever had to
>>8726537Ref sheets no, 3d models yes which is why I haven't had them made even though it would open up a lot of options for me. I feel like with a drawing someone still has to draw (or at least make a Lora and slop it) something. With 3D models any dumbass with blender could do what they want with my characters which I'd hate.
>>8726560Great artist but I'm not fond of fridge bodies when it comes to lolis
>>8726494>one day deliveryi sent them a request at the start of august
>>8726575It kind of isA few years ago, that would have been $120
>>8726537no because my designs are simple in an era where everyone is adding 5455367 accessories
>>8726613damn that's rough, maybe I got priority because it was an appeal or something
>>8726618A few, you mean like 10?
>>8726633it was just 4 years ago that it was about 1:100, then china coughed
