Post your commission info here.There’s no other thread where people can look to commission anons, other than the /aco/ thread which is for porn.
Wait, the /aco/ thread came back?
>>7319798Do potential buyers even browse /ic/? It's a board for artists, all you would get here is attention of crabs and competition and maybe MAYBE a single tourist once a month.
Posted this in sqtdtot because there wasn't a thread up.Not sure if my prices are fair or not as I'm unfamiliar with the market
>>7320311Seems alright? But only someone who really likes your style will buy, I don't think this scratchy, messy brushwork with muted, muddy colors will be appealing to a common guy. So unless you have a big following already, I'd drop my prices a bit.
>>7320311Are those all $50-80 full color examples? If so I'd say it's a bit low unless you pump these out like nothing. Also would be helpful to have examples of the other tiers
>>7320323Yeah i know I don't really have broad appeal. >>7320324Yeah those are all the full colors, all I'd price at 50 except the bottom right because it's got things going on, I'd put that one at 65.For black and white you can expect something like this.
>>7320336More things going on*
>>7320311so this is the power of studying painting before draftsmanship fundamentals
>>7320323Don't liste to this piece of shit crab
Pointless thread, why would an artist commission another artist. Just copy them if you like them so much lol
>>7320377I've seen it happen. I've seen big nanes commission other big names.
>>7320376>he has a different opinion, so I must insult him, instead of explaining what's wrong with it!kys retard, but pyw first
>>7320336I'd find that fair. If these take you a good while or your slots fill up quickly I'd consider bumping it up. It may help to make pricing for additional characters as add-ons. There's a good audience for this stuff if you are aren't already building a following
I will draw your penis for 15$
>>7320644Can I see your portfolio?
>>7320841Can I see your penis
>>7320311Bro you should ask 120+ for your stuffDont listen this nigga >>7320376
>>7321001Sorry I mean don't listen This nigga >>7320323
>>7320311These are good and priced very reasonably, but your examples aren't great. I'd draw more varied/less detailed faces like on the bottom right pic that shows you can draw regular looking pretty boys, women, etc.
>>7320311>free editsI'd get rid of that clause. Say 3 rounds of edits and leave it at that, 'free edits' implies they can keep changing things continuously, and if you fail to ever satisfy them, that's on you for failing to deliver.Also, I say charge more. I think your colours are at least worth $100. How many hours do you work on them in general?
>>7321001>>7321004It doesn't matter how good you are, if nobody knows you, baka.
>>7320993To be honest I was more interested in how portolio of a dick-painter looks like than in your services - I don't have 15$ for this. Sorry.
>>7321099This also lowering your prices looks a lot worse than raising them. If someone comms you for $120 then you don’t get any bites and lower to $60 that commissioner will likely feel burned. VS if you start at 60, raise the price from demand people will understand more. It makes you look more desirable and that is part of getting comms.
>commission artist>he just up and fucking dies one day
>>7321184chargeback?
>>7321184Shouldn't have commissioned a heart attack.
>>7319798Does anybody in this thread want to take on making some star fox art for a guitar for me? I'm trying to find somebody that I can do this part of the process for me and I don't think a guitar company would be able to make me exactly what I want
So nobody is going to post their commission sheets, huh
>>7319798Source please?
>>7320311Charge more for the full colour, remove the free edits clause. Limit it. Good luck.
>>7321642My shit is worth maybe 15$ on a good day, when I want this kind of money I just get in my car and go to work.
>>7321929>having a car>having a jobfilthy normie gtfoREEEEEE
not a furry tho
>>7319798Man I haven't opened commissions in like ten years. I don't think I even remember my Paypal password, let alone if I'd even want to use them anymore anyway.
>>7320324Maybe it's all he can get. For a lot of artists skill level doesn't equal what people are gonna pay them. As cool as it would be to get one $200 commission from someone who likes your style, if that the only one you get all year, is it really worth it if you can regularly get a couple commissions every month at a rate that is grossly underpriced?This is the dilemma of every self-employed person.
>>7321805not OP but I recognize thissketchynomicon 's old art
>>7322056That's why added >>7320425 >I'd find that fair. If these take you a good while or your slots fill up quickly I'd consider bumping it upWe can't know that that's all he can get unless he's already built a consistent following and commission stream. Lowering your prices doesn't help anyone find you or get you more commissions without visibility. There's nothing wrong with negotiating with clients if you have to.
If you think this is worth 5-10 bucks hit me up
>>7320336I think you rely too much on ambiguity in your work, but it has appeal and someone who doesn't draw won't see it.Absolutely do not listen to >>7320323 they are crabbing you. If anything you should be charging more than what you are.
>>7322125thank you so much!!
>>7320299Probably not, but this thread is intended for people to do just that.
I'm offering a Halloween sale at the momenthttps://moquedami.carrd.co/
>>7322428The only person in this thread that actually has posted a website that has a storefront. Do you guys actually want to be commissioned or...? Cause you all don't seem to realize how invaluable the path of least resistance is. If I was a potential buyer this would be one of the only people I'd even consider. What the fuck does you want me to do? @ you? On an anonymous image board? Where people are on all different kinds of times? Like their art might not even be the best in this thread but they certainly have the most business sense out of everyone here.
>>7322507Unironically why most artists fail at the self employed artist thing. They don't know how to run a business. They think it's purely about the art and completely neglect the business aspect of things. That person is even running a sale atm. I don't like their art but respect needs to be given where it's due.
>>7322507>>7322510Furry porn isn't allowed on /ic/, I can't post my commission sheet here.Also there's something to be said about doing business with 4channers, the kind of people who are known for maliciousness and doxxing others. I wouldn't be surprised if some anon commissioned porn just to report the artist to paypal for selling nsfw stuff (which is against the paypal rules) or demanding a refund few months later, despite being satisfied with results, to save some $$$.
>>7322564You do realize you could find the profiles of most people that posted in this thread? I'm not going to single them out but I easily found the reddit accounts of a couple people here. By virtue the modern internet isn't private. It's why you separate your real identity from your online identity unless your irl self is the brand.
>>7322564While it's true there are some shitbags that would do that a lot of 4channers are pretty chill. Degenerate but chill.
>>7322567>just separate your irl identity from the online oneName 1 payment service that lets you stay completely anonymous while doing commissions and that isn't a real hassle to use to the client.
>>7322570arty.ooocommiss.ioartistreeA&C if you can take the larger % hit or your clients don't mind the % hike (just add it to your base price)pixiv if you're looking for the eastern and/or weeb market
>>7322567Bro people on 4chan aren't going to do that malicious shit unless you're some kind of lolcow or obnoxious.
>>7322507>>7322585Man I feel retarded.Thanks anons
>>7322617>Bro people on 4chan aren't going to do that malicious shitCan I see your commission sheet? :^)
>>7320311>>7320336I feel like your art is only appealing to other artists who have some understanding of the process and thus appreciation for it.I can tell the "messiness" is intentional but to broader audiences it just looks messy for the sake of being messy.Most marketable art is clean cell shaded art that goes through standard sketch->line art -> paint process.Also it doesn't help you didn't even provide a link or an @ lol.
>>7320339desu even my painting skill isn't all there, Yet.>>7321001i'm flattered you think that, i'm fine with a ceiling of 80 because all i want out of this is some spending money and i'd feel bad charging 100+ in this economy lol.>>7321007noted>>7321017Usually they don't take me more than 24 hours, but those hours are spread over the course of 3 days to 1 week>>7321808noted and thank you>>7322665yeah i understand neither my style nor my subject matter are commerciable, i'm not seeking a career path as an artist, but a commission here and there helps out.didn't post @ because i didn't understand the purpose of the thread initially lol. thought we were just "discussing" commission sheets. i just came here for advice.if you're interested i'm https://x.com/Velleity_Art
I mostly post on /sex/, want to do more bondage or mature women stuff thohttps://twitter.com/sakkishisanhttps://www.pixiv.net/en/users/83506316 for only my artsakkishisan@gmail.com if you want to use a burner email. I don't judge
https://fluffylotus.carrd.co/https://x.com/FluffyCataaa
>>7322142>>7322507Ok finehttps://x.com/Goobdo
>>7322617Honestly I'd do it just to prove a point. Fuck anyone who thinks they're safe here. You're not. I get pleasure from taking that from you.>>7322643Also this. Post yours and put your money where your mouth is :^)
>>7320339NTA but tf dud you mean by this.Painting is part of draftsmanship.If you're learning painting then you're learning (an aspect of) draftsmanship
>>7319798i would do commissions but i need followers for that
What is that thing people on pixiv use that allows others to ask you to draw something. I remember some people having something like that, but I can't remember what it is. I don't mean skeb or pixiv request. It was free message sort of thing. Does anyone know?
I wish people cared about my art enough to commission stuff
>>7323043Same.My style is supremely unnapealing, my technical skill is slowly improving and I have been learning how to do backgrounds as of late but people just dont like different styles that are obviously western, and Im not willing to sacrifice who I am to get money.It also doesnt help that I just dont know how to brand myself, but seeing this thread made me realize that and I will work on that side of the hussle.>>7323035I only know about requests, never heard about what youre describing.
>>7323077It's something like suggestion box i've seen some people have
>>7323081Maybe its something premium only?
How's this for a commission sheet?
>>7323008Brother at this point 4chan is just reddit but with slurs. If you want to find the autismo that 4chan used to be you'll find it if you look hard enough but it's not on the clear web.
>>7323082I really don't know, but it looked interesting when i saw it.
>>7322049i swear once i get some dosh im gonna comm you
>>7325181<3
Still need to practice... everything but will draw cat ass(Or similar critters) for 5$
>>7323217I would add info on multi character pic with something>extra character 8 eurosso people wanting more characters can calculate the price.
>>7319798I commission you OP to stop being gay
>>7320311just a lil update for anyone interested.i opened 4 commission slots and they filled out over a 10 days.1 full color, 1 black and white but with alot of stuff going on, and 2 sketches.notes: some clients asked me for black and white examples or examples of me drawing stuff like vehicles and environments and whatnot so it's true, the examples i provided aren't great. i def gottta rework my commission sheet in the future.
>>7329584You got commissions from this thread?
>>7329597No way to tell.one of them sounded like a 4channer and was using what looked like a burner account so maybe.If he is from here and is reading this, thanks.
>>7329603Do you post your commission here or everywhere? Where else do you post?
>>7329604Twitter almost exclusively.I have an instagram but i gave up on it. never managed to take off.
>>7329606Twitter? does it work? Also, how do you post?
>>7329626it's called X now and you just upload your drawing and hit the post button.
>>7329628I mean do you have any tricks to share? Does hashtag still works? do you tag other artists?
>>7329630i don't do anything special.if i post some thing i just describe it or say "[Thing] fanart". i rarely use hashtags and if i do it's just one and not too specific like #Eldenring.sometimes i don't do anything at all and just post the image.here's a sketch of my OC that did ok, not part of any fandom or hashtag or trend.if there is a pattern to all this i don't see it. i just upload and hope for the best.
Anyone feeling like wasting 15$?https://x.com/KarmaColorCat (I call hiatus, but commissions are still open).
>>7329679Are you using AI?
>>7320311Are you a Final Fantasy fan?
>>7329810Sort of.I'm only a fan up to final fantasy 10. Not that i hate the others or anything these games just hit different when you're younger, also i no longer have time for big MMOs.I loooove yoshitaka Amano if that's what you're asking.
I am a bit busy with inktober, but if you don't mind waiting/ discussing when my schedule opens up, here are my commissions. I prefer contact through twitter. flat rate.
>>7329838Yeah thats what I thought, your art SCREAMS "Yoshitaka Amano".Pretty incredible that you managed to do something like that, Amanos art is very unique in its style.
>>7329859Thanks i try to not outright copy him and just do my own thing instead, but he did influence me alot. It's mostly because he has a unique take on arabian and oriental aesthetics and I'm arab myself so it speaks to me.That said, Here's a piece where i actively try to channel him.
>>7329885Have you tried to make a Final Fantasy like logo?
>>7329892Yes i did, but it's years old and lost to time. It's fun, it's basically calligraphy
>>7329807Of course not, these are all carefully hand drawn (with an autistic amount of emphasis on pixel perfection and symmetry too). I dont know what makes you think these are AI generated, though.
>>7319798>get commissioned, money upfront >client sends me refs made with AIIf he steals from artists, then it's only fair, if artist steals from him, right? >:)
https://twitter.com/B_0_RUKIAI want to commission this artist but he's expensive. I love the detailed rendering but are there artists out there who are just as good and will do it for cheaper? For that matter, am I stupid; is this just AI art?
>>7333562Those hands look weird, but not weird as in AI art, but weird as this person draws weird hands.Looks like something I would do (Im bad).
>>7333562$300 is expensive, how much are you looking to pay?It seems to me from looking at his other works that maybe he uses some 3d models and photobashing?Not AI though.
>>7333604Looking closer , I can say he definitely does that. His lineart is shit.
I did my first penis portrait commission :3 YAY
>>7333639How did you market yourself?
>>7333573Yeah, I noticed his lineart can be wonky, but I'm mainly in it for the rendering>>7333604I'd be willing to go $200 but I can't find that level/style of rendering anywhere, much less open for commission. I have to wonder though, how much work is involved. Does photobashing and making it look that good take much effort?
>>7333652I have some weird friends, he wanted more of a fully body commission but I didnt think I was ready for a) doing a large commission b) charging a lot for something so I offered a penis portrait. So maybe I can build from here. I was thinking of doing it on OF
>>7333655Looking at the work you posted of his on this thread right now and I can see the shoes and shorts look, so I might have to retract my previous statement.I`m not an expert, but he might be using a mix of photo-bashing with AI , maybe some 3d models and photos and tracing/drawing over them.I hate AI but even if he wasn`t I don’t think it’s worth $300.It’s really the lineart that sets me off, it looks like he`s tracing over something.Of course regardless of what I think the value depends on the consumer.
>>7333681*look AI generated
>>7333681I appreciate the feedback, thx. What would be a more appropriate thread to get answers? I don't know which thread would have the experts familiar with this particular style of rendering, but I'm itchin to find out (without asking the artist directly)
>>7333707you could probably ask on /h/ they have a commission guide general. they only like japanese artists so can probably find something like it
>>7333716Right, the skeb thread. Thx!
>>7333562This is some shameless photobashing
>>7333916most photobashers are "shameless" in the sense that they don't see any shame in photobashing to begin with. it's only something other artists get upset about.
https://www.deviantart.com/trejowauk/art/Trejowauk-Commission-1074334935My first time putting effort in making commission info, while "being myself" on making this sheet.https://files.catbox.moe/azhd1z.png [4MB limit] >>7320311It's incredible, and I'd ask for art trade.
>>7319798How safe is taking money over cash app? I've had several people ask me this recently if I took cash app.
>>7320266still can't believe one shitposter got the whole general there perma nuked
>>7319798i have 2,000 followers my art usually gets like 200-300 likesi posted my commission photo and it got 3 likes LMAOit wasnt even much like $20-$40 fullbody i wondr why so many of my followers ignored itive done free commission raffles and those get like 1-2000 likes and shares
>>7334419cashapp is like paypal it has a "business" option and a "family" optionthe family option doesnt give refunds so be careful i had a guy steal $100 from me and cashapp said it couldnt refund it because i chose the gift/family option when i sent it
>>7335239Economy is fucked
bump
How does this sheet look?
>>7333562>>7333726Have you found an artist yet ?
>>7337894What do you mean? My sights have always been set on this rukia guy. I'm still determining what would be a fair price to haggle for
>>7339558Let us know when you find the right artist, we're interested in your journey.
>>7339558if you`ve found an artist who can replicate his style for a lower price as you mentioned in your first post..this actually makes me want to replicate his style myself and do some studies from his stuff but without the photobash. I`m not sure if I can post my attempts here since it’s off-topic? I don’t visit /ic/ that often.
>>7339558>>7339585Also if your max budget is $200, you can start at $150 maybe? Depends on how you negotiate with him.>>7339585you should also make an update on the outcome of your dms with him, hopefully things go well with you
>Go to commission someone>They fell for the AI propaganda and only use tardsky nowoh
>>7341302Competition is good no matter how you frame it. Twitter getting a pass to be as shit as it is just because it has a monopoly is borderline dystopian.Even if bluesky doesn't replace it, it will at least give it an incentive to stop shitting the bed or god forbid, improve
>>7341345Okay, but I'm still not gonna go use the platform that has every AI company scraping it over the one that has one shitty one that you can turn off
>>7341356let them scrap, we continue to draw.
>>7321184What artist
>>7339585Again, I'm not looking for any other artists. I only asked if anyone has seen anyone with a similar style because I want to compare price.I just don't think any artists render like he does>>7339651>I'm not sure if I can post my attempts here since it's off-topicI think the mods will give a damn. Plz do post your stuff
>>7333562looks like traced art.
I remember before AI boom, when I could charge 200 bucks for a full body DND character, no BG.Now I'm barely charging half for the same. Although I'm much faster it still hurts bros
>>7329838>I'm only a fan up to final fantasy 10.Impeccable taste.

>>7342107Rip.
>>7342000SureIt’s not usually my style so it’s a fun exercise.
