Re: Things you should know about commissioning

Freelance artists actually require much more then minimun wage, I'm going based off of professional rates. And I know many professional artists who draw fanart (this includes people at Disney, Dreamworks, Pixar etc etc) so I don't understand that argument at all.

Professionals usually don't take freelance from the average fan, though.

Go tell that to Tom Bancroft or the several animation professionals that do take commissions from fans.

NAYRT

"Usually" means that most don't. It doesn't mean that none do. (Also, it depends on your fandom. None of the official artists for mine take commissions for anything related to the fandom; there's some sort of agreement with the company involved.)

I kind of disagree with the "usually" though, as many artists will take commissions from fans and have no problem with it. Especially artists who do convention runs, it's a pretty common thing for them to take commissions from fans, and some of them charge a pretty penny for it too.

If an artist is under a strict contract then of course they won't, but that doesn't even mean they won't draw for fans in general, just that they won't draw for that ones series.

You're wrong there - I know a lot of professional artists (my husband being one of them) and they take work that pays. It doesn't matter who the client is.
