How to Commission an Artist

Nov 16, 2009

I've been commissioning artists for a little over two years now, starting with site money on GaiaOnline and moving to dA from there. One thing that's hard for me to ignore is the number of artists who are concerned about being scammed, either because they've gone through that experience before or because the stories and warnings of it happening all the time proliferate. Commissioners have their own concerns about being scammed by artists. The simple fact of the matter is that it happens. However, I think a good portion of the problem is that many people who want to commission an artist have no experience doing so, and it's not as easy to

My Bio

hubbubaloo (n.) - portmanteau of hubbub and hullabaloo.

Jessinia (possibly also a noun) - reluctantly called Jess, eagerly called Owl, a portmanteau of the number slash age 19, and a Empress of Mad Ideas. A human being who occasionally likes to pretend she is a Cyber(wo?)men so she can run about shouting DELETE DELETE DELETE. Loves (unsurprisingly) Doctor Who [ married to the fine piece of man called Nine], Sherlock, Neopets, Tokyo Mew Mew, Kim Possible, Megamind, EXO [K+M <3], BigBang, SHINee, Dengeki Daisy, Kirby, LoZ, Orange, Oranges and basically everything dairy and/or potato related. A not-so casual lover of belapan and taang-- and a few other things. Part-time moorchild, full-time nerd.

Speaks French, Senselessness, Gibberish and just a bit of Hubbubaloobian.

Seeking an artist!!

So! I'm coding a dating sim /o/ (listens to the cheers and groans of delight) It's a school romance dating sim called XOXO Academy, and it's progressing really well. There's 12 options for the romance (woo!) and I've been working on the game since August 2013. More on the game can be found on the XOXO Academy Game Site -- that's a link, btw-- and so I hope that when it comes out, you guys support and play my game! :'D Now, I was surfing the Ren'Py forums, and someone was talking about a code they made for a dress-up game that could be added to Ren'Py's coding o3o I thought that it sounded majorly cool so I thought about adding a miniature

iNCLUDING all the line art for this awesome project I was working on... My friend and I collabed and we came up with this idea for personified soda brands called 'fizzle!' based off of the basic storyline of Pepsi vs. Coke. It's about Coca and Pepsi Cola-- two rivals who happen to be brothers... even though they don't know it. (They have the last name! 'Cola'! Duh. ;) ) We designed them together, she drew them, then I was supposed to color them... (This was like a year ago.) I FINALLY started coloring them and THIS happens. DX I only managed to completely finish Faygo. u__u
