I'd love to commission a emoticon from you. But could you give me a five finger discount because we're family friends of loyalty programs?
GrassssssssTastesBad
Always pay the people you demand a service from. ESPECIALLY if they're a friend.
CandiedCorn
"But it's so simple, I could do it!" K. Bye. *blocked*. Mute/Block is your best friend. Don't bother continuing discussions with idiots.

Rent only costs 3 Exposure.
RagnaroktopusInk
Wait until you have a mortgage. You have to prove you can pay at least 10 exposure and have 100 exposure in the bank.
Oinochoe
Money? Bah! Just think of all the exposure..

Here is art

Alot of the custom art seen here is bit out of peoples price range or is it just me?

Half up front

Definitely the reason why I stopped telling/showing family and "friends" that I could do art well.

Ok. I'll say it. Those teeth are ON POINT AND AMAZING

I recently commissioned some work, and thought the artist was charging too little. Ended up paying what I thought it was worth instead by 1/
IOnlyFavouriteBunniesAndRats
paying 2.5 times more and refusing any sort of refund or extra work beyond the scope. I LOATHE people that try to get work for free.

Bless you
RagnaroktopusInk
You are a rare and wonderful unicorn. No, I'm not being sarcastic.
IOnlyFavouriteBunniesAndRats
Not really. I used to do photography, and hated getting asked to do free work all the time. So I know the pain. :D
SJBSavageInk
I hate these things because of how accurate they are and I don't want to be reminded how shitty people are to artists. XD
Clayman8
Am a maker & artist, its always fun to have people bargain for free shit
RagnaroktopusInk
I'm usually down for a barter/trade. I've gotten some cool/weird stuff for art over the years...but the freebie hunters are annoying.
Clayman8
So um...want to trade anything? Im doing night shifts all up till monday so i got plenty of time to draw
RagnaroktopusInk
I'm down for an art trade, I used to do some of my best work on 3rd shift as well! Whatcha want?
Clayman8
Heh, anything is good im not picky. Lets maybe find a common theme to it? Im a scifi/gamer type person, whats your poison?
RagnaroktopusInk
Sorry, bit of a shitstorm this weekend. Want to go with favorite Sci-Fi monster? You draw me yours and I'll draw you mine?
jhs2595
I’m paying a dude $150 for a ttrpg character. The guy only takes payment up front, which is smart.

I used to get requests for art so much... Admittedly tho, I stopped doing commissions, they stressed me out. I'd trade art sometimes...
JonasPolsky
People who desperately want art commissions =/= People with money
DukePhelan
You just need to branch out into the 'right' kind of art.
ZomPoanie
this is beautiful art
TellusEidolon
Of course. You take exposure bucks, right?
TellusEidolon
Disclaimer in case it isn't obvious: this is just a joke comment.
potatochipsarethebest
Not sure why people think artists are just willing to do things for free...
FrolickingFrolicking
It’s because most people have no idea what art is. They don’t understand it’s labor too. They figure it’s a free miraculous gift.
Srcsqwrn
"Because it's so easy for you".
Calise425
Just any kind of trade or craft. Even if it's a hobby for some, it's still work.
gaiidraws2
Man I could tell you some stories. Even having a small amount of internet clout like me - stuff gets weird
ChaosSlave51
I know! Every time I suck someone's dick and then ask for money they call me a prostitute
xaero13
Cause being an artist is seen as a hobby, not your job, cause people are stupid and shallow
Rogahar
Because they think drawing is 'easy', selectively ignoring the fact that the reason they're asking someone else to do it is because it's NOT
Deshalope
It's easy when someone else does it! Everything checks out! /s
ToSisPoS
Because arts & media are seen as luxuries and not serious.
Faradesti
Well, luxury items are typically more expensive than non-luxury items, and if it's
Faradesti
not a thing that they need you'd think they'd be more okay with not getting it than they are.
ToSisPoS
Also since one item is posted for free then everything should be in their eyes.
Faradesti
True, the 'customer is always right' mentality plays a large role.
tracereading
If they have art requests then yes by all means otherwise pay them
UnriskyBusiness
It's not for free, they pay you in exposure.
Sheldonian
You forgot the /s right?
kusuriya
Caboune
I don't know why anybody thinks people will do things for free in general.
SirRichfield
You wouldn't like the world without open source software, made by a bunch of coders for free, because they believe in something.
SirRichfield
Which has not much to do with people doing art for money, just a reminder that there are people that love to share information.
ChaosSlave51
I think it starts this way... They posted this image for free

I've hired an artist to do a commission of one of my DnD characters. Was fun.
Noraneko
Hired an artist from third world country for an art of my bfs ffxiv chara, paid them double of what they've asked. They bawled tears
Noraneko
Of gratitude because for them this amount of money was life changing, as for me it was way less in value. Wish I would've paid them more.
xSoaringWyvern
Im currently looking for an artist to do that, but cant find one who is interested in drawing mine. T.T
MishievousMagpie
I also draw dnd characters and do commissions! I have art here and at artstation.com/vainmagpie
sarasti
I draw DnD characters for people all the time: www.artstation.com/sarasti
OphelianAshe
Holy shit those're better than the portraits you get in dnd games like nwn or kingmaker
MishievousMagpie
Your art is gorgeous holy crap!
ironic4reality
Awesome work! Do you have a general price range for your work? Just curious at this point
sarasti
One DnD character is around $200ish, that includes a generic fantasy background. Bust portrait is $80, scene is $320 and up.
xSoaringWyvern
Alas, I cannot afford your wonderful work. But I will be spreading the link to your work around my circles regardless!

"I'll pay you in exposure" I say, gripping the belt of my trench coat.

Is this your custom art? If so, good job.

Usually artist names on here match their watermarks. I doubt it.
PlatinumMaximum
Yeah probably no they just posted it here. For the exposure. It’s what artists eat and pay rent with.
servingmytimeinusersub
There are several well known artists on imgur. I upvote them even if I don't like their content just because they are trying.
servingmytimeinusersub
Though there are exceptions. The person who does the sword comics is murkyway or something like that.

Among others. Nathan Pyle. Litterbox comics, etc.

I feel you @raidesart. I know your pain. /a/cAJjp
RagnaroktopusInk
Good lord... that is some awesome stuff.
blaghart
Everyone says that till they hear the price :P
RagnaroktopusInk
My favorite is the folks who agree on the price, then try to stiff you anyway. Password-locked RAR files are awesome
blaghart
Oh I sell physical products, cash up front, so they can't stiff me. I also refuse to use paypal bc of their history of fucking over makers.
RagnaroktopusInk
I do half upfront, and provide heavily watermarked final drafts as proof for final payment. That weeds out *most* of them these days
RagnaroktopusInk
But, seriously, that Gypsy Danger.
blaghart
The Cherno Alpha is the same woman in the Blue Spartan and the Elite Knight armor.
RagnaroktopusInk
It's awesome stuff. I can draw for hours, but lack the talent/discipline for anything like your stuff!
kcornish78
Not me, just a fan! Instagram @raidesart is the person to contact!
pareidoliaperson
And this fan, does it blow well?
Erutanmi
Should add this to your description.
Superchief86
Ooh, I wonder if they'd like a generous helping of exposure.
Daemencer
You could put it in description. Point hoarder!! Anyway, take your upvote
IOnceFarted
For free art right?

sooo stealing and not even linking creator in the post....LAME!!!
