Re: Asking Again - Art commission protocols

[(Anonymous)]

That's when you post about them on artists_beware

Haha joking, find an artist who will give you progress pictures - so when it's not to the standard expect you can gently prod. HOWEVER do keep in mind if you're choosing them based on one amazing stand out image in their gallery, with the rest so-so - you're going to get a so-so, not the 400 hour exception.

Find artists that have preset guidelines on the process - off the top of my head:

- full discussions upfront about what you want, might be a lot of back and forth. YOU DONT HAVE TO COMMIT IF YOU HAVENT SPENT THE MONEY. this discussion may make you realise you dont want from them
- pay in goods and services on paypal, NOT gift. the fee they get with should be rolled into the upfront costs and not as an extra. run away if they charge paypal fees as an extra
- set points you get to see and comment on a WIP - typically it goes sketch sketch lines colour shading with any refined ones inbetween
- a number or idea of a number of changes you are allowed to make
- look for someone who meets deadlines. google their username/past usernames, scope them out on artists_beware

I haven't been paying attention to your questions - what type of picture are you after exactly?

Fair price...is up to you, but if they're offering you below minimum wage per hour kind of stuff (and a lot do), it'd be nice to give them a big tip or something.
